If worrying is your second job, then the unfortunate part is that this all-consuming your energy doesn’t pay you anything rather it pays stress, sadness, depression and inner chaos. Instead of replaying the same old worries day after day, why don’t we look at how to stop worrying and start living peacefully?
1. Sit silently and think
We need to first understand why we worry—Worrying accomplishes nothing.Worrying is bad for you. Worrying is the opposite of trust and peace. Through silence, we can become familiar with these thoughts and through meditation, we can change these thoughts.
2. Have a time for yourself
Spare a time for yourself and safe space is in your bedroom. Space should be relaxing where no one can interfere from outside.
3. Manage your expenses
One way to stop worrying about money is to gain some control over it. Create a budget and follow it.
4. Organize your time
When you're overextended, you are being flung in every direction, and when that happens, you’re not really following through on anything or doing anything particularly great. This ignites stress; we want to be perfect for everyone all the time. Make effective use of your time; learn how to say no, set a realistic schedule and forget about the expectations others project onto you.
5. Be rational
Confirm yourself, “Are my worries genuine?”
6. Exercise
Getting enough exercise is important for everyone, young and old. Sedentary lifestyles have been linked to serious diseases and shortened life spans.
It releases endorphins, which make the brain feel good. Exercise also reduces the body's stress hormones.
7. Expose yourself To The Sun
Another manifestation of our overly protective nature towards our body these days, combined with a heavily indoors-based lifestyles means that we are receiving very little exposure to sunlight. It is true that UV rays can be damaging and in extreme cases cause skin cancer. However, a small, controlled amount of exposure to the sun is vital for everyone.
The sun’s rays stimulate Vitamin D production, which is essential to the healthy functioning of the body, including regulating the immune system, hormone development and bone and muscle growth.
8. Express gratitude
Stop worrying about things that may or may not happen and start being thankful for the things you have right now. Developing an attitude of gratitude can transform our states of mind.
9. Trust yourself
Be quiet so that you can hear the inner voice deep inside of you. Your internal GPS won’t navigate you incorrect.
