Do you worry too much?

Sure, a little worry is only natural, given these stressful times. But if you find your worries spiralling out of control, here is a great article for you.

Johns Hopkins provides nine strategies to help you take control of your anxiety, and best of all, without medications!

Do you worry excessively?

Taking a positive attitude

We know stress is never going to go away. So why can some people manage it so much better than others?

A lot of it has to do with the sense of being in control, despite the world being out of control. You may not be able to do anything about the power outtage in your area, or the soaring price of gas, but you can have a positive frame of mind that tells you that you’re able to handle anything.

In addition, you might want to make a second list, of things you can do for yourself so you don’t feel like you’re walking around with a short fuse.

Think of things that you can do to improve your lifestyle.  Are you eating the right things, taking the time to exercise and get the proper nutrients for your body?

Are you talking about your feelings with others? How reliable is your support network?  Do you need to find a different career path?

These are examples that you need to think about when you are trying to define your life and what is causing you the most stress.

Do not forget about the fun and entertainment in your life.  You have to include these things into your schedule so that you are getting regular breaks from the stress that can build up.

You should jot down the things that you like to do and what makes you happy.  Make sure that you are enjoying these things regularly in your life so that you can be a well-rounded person, not a pressure cooker about to blow.

Once you have made your list, plan a little schedule for yourself for all the fun things you can do, and the steps you can take to adjust your life here and there, one step at a time, to decrease your stress levels.
Then keep your list in a safe place, and go over it on a regular basis.  Make the necessary changes where they are needed and take the time to enjoy things.  You need to stop and smell the roses once in a while to maintain a healthy outlook on life.

You will find that once you take a good long look at your life and the stressors in it, you can use this list as a way towards personal growth. Work on it bit by bit every day, and you will watch your stress disappear.

We’ve all been there. The sweaty palms, the gritted teeth, the pain the the stomach that won’t go away, that feeling we can’t breathe or don’t know what to do next.

This is stress, and while it is an everyday part of modern life and can help us achieve at work and school, it is not healthful over a long period of time. And therefore needs to be coped with sooner rather than later.

Make a list of things that are stressful

If you are trying to figure out what is causing all of the stress in your body, you may want to do some research. This is something that you can do on your own to find a way to pinpoint the problems and to get started with dealing with them.

Sit down and think about the problems that you are having in your life and what you can do to change the situation, so that you will feel less stressed.

Make a well thought out list of all the problems that you are facing in your life. Think about these problems and what you are worried about.

When you are thinking about what is disrupting your life, you may find the answers to the questions of what is causing all of your problems and your stress.

Think of all the people that are adding to your stress. This will include all relationships both at home and at work. Figure out what the problems are with these people and if you need to have them in your life, or if they are someone that you should distance yourself from. There is nothing wrong with ending a relationship that is in turmoil. You should be prepared to do this if it is relevant to your health and well-being.

Or, renegotiate the relationship so that you don’t feel so burdened and put upon.
