What Can I Do To Stop Worrying and Learn to Love Life?
Worrying is a subconscious activity that takes control of your conscious thought processes. When you start to feel anxious and stressed, take the time to thoughtfully process those feelings and take steps to mitigate that stress, either through action or by recognizing that what is causing you to worry isn't nearly as big of an issue as your brain is making it out to be.
Whenever you feel worried about something, Stop, think, and answer the question “Why is this worth worrying about?” More often than not, you'll realize that things that feel big are really not important or worth caring about when you really think about it.
People also have a tendency to worry about things that people have done to them, or worry that they might have done something wrong. Try to make the effort to maintain an open dialog with those around you.
Also, don't be afraid to forgive. Holding grudges is a major source of anxiety and worry that is ultimately pointless.
Take what you learned from the previous step and take action to limit stress and worry. Grab a sheet of paper and write down the things in your life that make you worried.
Stop and think clearly about all of those things and then rewrite the list according to which issues are most impactful upon your life and which are more minor. Strikeout the minor issues that don't really matter, and make the effort to push worries related to these subjects out of your mind.
Regarding the more major issues on your mind, use this time of reflection to plan out a course of action to make these larger worries less troublesome.
Other options include meditation and herbal supplements and teas which are designed for relaxation. Even scents can be beneficial. Lavender, for example, is scientifically proven to induce feelings of relaxation.
