Nancy PristinePanicked, Worried, Overwhelmed?…Take a Deep Breath and Remember Everything is Going to Be Okay

Life is constantly throwing us curve balls, and many times, like it or not, we have very little control over the outcome. Despite this, we allow ourselves to obsess about the insignificant things in our lives, believing that if we fret about it long enough we’ll find a clever solution to the problem. Our imaginations run wild creating scenarios that are much worse than reality will ever be.

Worrying seems to part of the human condition. We need to feel secure, which leads to our need to control our environment and thus to our anxieties about life. There’s a funny “Peanuts” cartoon in which Linus notes that Charlie Brown looks down. Charlie responds, “I worry a lot about school. I also worry about my worrying so much about school. My anxieties have anxieties.”

We all have a little piece of Charlie Brown in us, that tendency to worry incessantly about situations that may or may not ever happen. In reality, not worrying may be the best thing we can do for our mental and physical well being. When we obsess about our job, how others see us, the car, the weather, etc. we amp up our anxiety levels opening the gateway for increased chances of high blood pressure, ulcers, strokes and heart attacks, as well weight gain or loss, skin problems, depression and chronic illness.

Find the Root Cause

How can we stop fretting about all the day to day things that generally work themselves out? To start, we have to discover the root cause of our angst.

bullet  Is it a need to be in control, or at least try to be?

bullet  Is it insecurity on some level?

bullet
  Is it a habit - something you’ve always done and continue to do it because it’s comfortable?

Once the cause has been identified, replace it with a habit that’s a little easier to live with. Try to adopt a habit that will focus on what’s truly important, our health and well-being and that of our family. To do this, we have to take a step back and deal with the problems at hand when they arise one step at a time—one day at a time.

In the end, we need to take a long, hard look at how we deal with the unknown and try a different approach--one that is less toxic. This will allow us to learn from our experiences and move on.

Take the Angst Out of Your Life

To avoid the plethora of health issues anxiety can bring with it, try these stress reduction methods:

bullet  Get a good night’s sleep. Lack of sleep can cause feelings of agitation, anger,  lack of energy and even weight gain.

bullet  Take up yoga, water aerobics, and meditation.

bullet  Using positive affirmations daily such as “today is my day” or “I am relaxed and feeling good” will help consciously create that mood. Our subconscious mind controls 95% of what we do or think, so if it is in neutral, so are we.

bullet  If a potentially anxiety ridden situation does arise, deal with it immediately – think or do something to replace the worrisome feelings, but do not procrastinate. It will only give the subconscious mind more time to create a mountain out of a molehill.

bullet  Change your attitude. Why not take on a child’s mindset. A child has a carefree attitude about life and they are also not afraid to make mistakes. When they encounter a problem they go about it in a less serious way and don’t stay stuck worrying about the “what-ifs.”

bullet  Let it go and leave your ego out of it. Whether you are in the right or not, agree to disagree. The simple act of letting go, of being the bigger person, can be very empowering. Remember “You Can’t Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought.”

bullet
  When you find yourself worrying distract yourself – go for a walk, put on your favorite music, play with your children or your four-legged children.

Laugh! When worry and stress have the best of you think of something funny about the person or the situation. Perhaps the person who is driving you crazy looks like the Disney character Goofy. Studies have shown that laughter is a very powerful therapy that will reduce stress, tension and high blood pressure. Remember “If you don’t laugh, you’ll cry!” – It’s true!

When we stop trying to micromanage our lives, our anxiety and stress dissipates and we learn to handle life’s challenges with comfort, grace and ease.
