Worrier to Warrior

How often do we waste time and energy worrying about something that usually ends up turning out fine, or not nearly as bad as we had imagined? 

Incessant worrying seems to be a fairly common human trait, so don't think you're alone in the world. We tend to have wild imaginations that err on the negative side. And many of us have worrying thoughts going around in our heads without even being aware of them, because our mental chatter is often so non-stop that we only notice a small portion of it. I’m a total worry wart. I worry about everything and I will admit it. Being a worry wart can be a drag, and can put us in a state of generalized anxiety. I get nervous about everything, sometimes I literally don't know why I'm anxious, I just am and no-one seems to understand that sometime

Obviously it's normal to worry about things from time to time - that's life. A certain amount of worry can even be beneficial. But when worrying seems to be your normal state of mind, it's time for change. I won’t tell you how to change in this blog, Ill share how I deal with life from time to time.
  • First, figure out why we worry in the first place. 
    • We worry about things because we are afraid of a certain outcome, so I would say that fear is the basis of all worry. But when you're a constant worrier, like I am, you tend to worry about seemingly anything and everything. It's not a very fun place to be. 
  • Inner mental chatter
    • Self Talk: It is vital that you practice changing your self talk from negative to positive of you want to stop worrying. 
  • Appreciate
    • As you go through your day, make it your task to appreciate more things in your life. Whenever you eat something, appreciate that you have delicious, healthy food freely available when you need it. When you hear a bird sing, appreciate the wonders of nature, and that you have healthy ears to hear. 
  • Find your peace. 
    • Mine? I found my peace with ASMR. Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a euphoric experience characterized by a static-like or tingling sensation on the skin that typically begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and upper spine, precipitating relaxation. It will be in another blog. But Youtube it! May seem weird to some, but I watch it almost every night and it calms me.
