Smart Stress Management Tools for coping in a stressful world

Let Go Of Useless Worry

With the way the world is today, it’s more important than ever that you learn how to free yourself from needless worry. Despite misguided opinion to the contrary, worry does you no good.  It’s actually counterproductive.

Worry is visualizing the future in a negative way.  If we do that, we ruin a perfectly good present moment by dwelling on an imaginary possible future.  Done consistently, it warps a person's ability to see reality clearly and robs them of their vitality.

Fortunately, how much we spend our time in anxious thinking is up to us – again, despite what many people believe.

For example, many people attribute their worry to outside events.  They think that feeling anxious is the best way to react to a situation.  If someone does this, they've given up control.

Many people believe that worry serves a useful purpose.

The more we look, the clearer it becomes that there are many such fallicies in circulation.

So to begin escaping excessive anxiety, you must look at the beliefs you hold about the purpose of worry.  What do you think it accomplishes?  Do you believe it somehow benefits you?  You won’t be able to free yourself from worry if you don’t understand what benefit you might believe it has.

Some people harbor the notion that spending time worrying is unavoidable and useful. They believe that worrying is a sign of maturity and being responsible, or that worrying is how you find an answer to a problem.

Those beliefs are wrong.

Worrying is actually a poor use of time.  Instead of being a way to, it keeps you stuck in the problem.  The mature approach is to focus on the problem only long enough to clearly define it, then focus on working on the solution.

Another excuse people have to engage in worry is that they believe it somehow keeps unwanted things from happening.

Let's face it, that way of thinking comes close to being a superstition.  Rather than provide a solution, worry keeps you finding workable solutions. Worry fills a mind with bad possble outcomes that most likely will never happen.

As you consider the role worry is playing in you life now youll likely come to the conclusion you'd be better off if you did less of it.  Personally I believe that we'd all be more productive if we could get worry under control.
