Do you think you know why we worry so much about things which are not too problematic as we feel sometimes. I agree that worrying can be helpful when it spurs you to solve some important moment or take action. What if you can't stop it? Sounds awful! Can you imagine yourself worrying about everything. There are some tips that could help you and I gathered the best of them.
1) Have a list of all your worries written! When I have too much "problems" to be solved, I usually try to make a list to distinguish between solvable and unsolvable problems.
2) One of my favorite web-bloggers says "Worried people often have a sense of urgency. They think, 'I need the answer right now and if I don't get it then something terrible will happen.'" Look at the advantages and disadvantages of demanding such urgency. "Rather than focus on the sense of urgency, instead focus on what you observe right now," which is very important to understand.
3) Ask yourself these questions:
* What’s the evidence that the thought is true? That it’s not true?
* Is there a more positive, realistic way of looking at the situation?
* What’s the probability that what I’m scared of will actually happen?
* If the probability is low, what are some more likely outcomes?
* Is the thought helpful? How will worrying about it help me and how will it hurt me?
* What would I say to a friend who had this worry?
4) Work out. Few things work so well and consistently as working out to release inner tensions and to move out of a head space that is extra vulnerable to worries. So even though working out helps you to build a stronger body your main motivation to keep doing it is for the wonderful and predictable mental benefits.
5) Spend more time in the present moment. When you spend too much time reliving the past in your mind then it easy to start feeding your worries about the future. When you spend too much time in the future then is also easy to get swept away by disaster scenarios.
