Everybody worries sometimes. Right now, you’ve
probably even got a few worries on your mind. You might be thinking about a
relationship or a situation at work, causing you trouble. Maybe you’re worried
about your health or whether or not you’re going to have enough money to pay
the bills at the end of the month. Whatever the case, worry happens whether we
intend for it to or not. This becomes a problem, though, when worry starts to
take over your life.
So, what is the goal? Is stopping worrying enough to
put you on an even keel, or are you hoping for something…more? What if, instead
of worrying, you could become excited, then use this excitement to get more done?
Let’s look at seven ways to achieve this:
Be Here Now
Worry has a way of trapping you anywhere but here.
Either you’re worried about something which happened long ago, or you’re caught
up in fretting about something still to come.
Neither is going to get you anywhere. To stop worrying, you need to
focus on the present. What interests you right now?
Realize This Gets You Nowhere Fast
Worrying stops you cold. In fact, most procrastination
is caused by worrying. With this in mind, why are you wasting your time and
energy on worrying? Sometimes just recognizing what a waste worry is, will be
enough to derail it altogether. Especially when you have better places to be.
Throw Yourself into Something
Interesting
Worry needs your attention to survive. Get busy doing
something engaging to your mind, and you’ll find you forget all about worrying.
Rewrite the Script
If you’re seeing everything blow up around you, maybe
you should try focusing on the perceived disaster. Ask yourself how you could
do things to handle the situation were it to happen. Once you have it, practice
the scenario in your mind. Picture yourself handling matters.
Practice
Worried about something you need to do later? Having a
dress rehearsal in your head will make things go smoother and keep worry at bay
entirely.
Ask
Challenge your worry. Dig in and get to the roots
until you understand your worry intimately. Ask yourself where the negativity
came from. Peel back the layers until you get down into the heart of the
matter.
Try a New Path
In the end, worry can become very attached to the
familiar. Challenge yourself. Find a different way to do things. Explore where
this path takes you.
The main point in all of these is to enjoy the
journey. This is where you find the excitement and enthusiasm, which leads to
getting things done. The rest is all momentum and a whole lot of brand-new
accomplishments just waiting to happen.
