With the way the world is today, it’s vitally necessary that we all learn how to manage worry and uncertainly. Despite misguided opinion to the contrary, worry generally get’s you nowhere. In fact, worry reduces our ability to function well.
Worry is imagining future unpleasant or unwanted outcomes as if they already happened. It robs the present moment of its joy. Done regularly, worrying warps a person’s ability to see reality clearly and robs them of their vitality.
The good news is, the degree to which we spend our time in worrying is largely under our control – although some would have you believe otherwise.
For example, many people attribute their worry to outside events. They believe that feeling anxious is the best response to a situation. As a result they have no control over it.
Others believe that worry is necessary and useful.
There are many such fallicies in circulation.
So to begin freeing yourself from destructive anxiety, you need to consider your beliefs concerning the role worry plays in your life. What do you think it accomplishes? Do you think it’s a productive use of time? There has to be some percieved benefit for you to worry. If you don’t recognize it, it will be harder to let worry go.
As I mentioned, some people harbor the notion that worry is necessary and productive. These people believe that worrying is a sign of maturity and being responsible, or that worrying is a way to figure out an answer to a problem.
Those beliefs are rubbish.
Worrying is actually a poor use of time. Instead of helping you find a solution, it keeps you focused on the problem, not it’s solution. The productive thing to do is to spend only enough time on what the problem is and what might go wrong as it takes to identify the issues, then focus on working on the solution.
Some people worry because they think that it’s somehow protective. Bad things won’t happen if they worry about them.
That feeling sounds a lot like superstition. All worry does is keep you from enjoying the present moment. When someone worries, their mind is filled with bad possble outcomes that most likely will never happen.
The more you examine your beliefs about worry youll likely realize that it’s hurting rather than helping you. It’s my belief that we’d all be less stressed if we spent less time worrying and more time imagining a brighter future.
