Overcome Your Anxiety With Positive Emotions!
When something big is about to happen (or when you are hoping it will happen), anxiety often tries to tip its nose, to varying degrees.
How to curb this feeling? With positive thoughts, of course! Do not let anxiety affect your daily life, continue to enjoy life and especially the present moment, because as the name suggests, it is a real present of life.
Anxiety, this desire to travel to the future
If there was a time machine that would allow us to teleport and know the next day, what would we be more relaxed about!
However, it is also true that we would not benefit from anything, because what matters even more than achieving a goal in itself is how far we have come to get there.
Imagine any goal (getting married, graduating, the birth of a child): for example the destination of your vacation.
No sooner are you in the mode of transport of your choice to get there (making a marriage proposal, starting studies, getting pregnant) than you already want to set foot on the beach or be in the mountains!
Thus, the organization of the wedding, the revisions for an exam, or the evolution of a baby in the womb of a mother are beautiful moments to enjoy, because afterwards, they will not take place in the same way. .
Of course, you can remarry, go to further school, or have a second child, but it will never be the same.
In reality, happiness disappears from the moment you make the choice not to take advantage of the present moment.
I’ll be happy when I get married, when I graduate, when the baby is born. Why not be happy now, while you’re making the guest list, reading your classes, or going for an ultrasound?
Anxiety is an unconscious mechanism that we use to prepare for something that can pose a threat.
This means that we believe that what happens today is not what we are looking for, unlike what will happen tomorrow. Excess anxiety can turn into a chronic pathology, or even make us become anxious all the time, for everything.
Biting your nails, smoking too much, immersing yourself in food, not being able to sleep, having trouble concentrating at work or school, not paying attention to what others tell us, hair loss, dark circles, or tachycardia, are all symptoms of an anxiety problem.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that in 2020, anxiety, depression and stress will be the three essential factors when it comes to understanding how a disease has developed.
Just below are cardiovascular problems, in terms of frequency and risk. However, the majority of them have a high chance of developing because of these three conditions.
Doctors say not all anxieties are bad, you just need to know how to regulate the dose.
Conversely, a low level of anxiety can be negative, as it makes it difficult to maintain interest in what you are doing and to have a vision for the future. You are then unable to plan anything and have no goals.
So, how do you manage your stress level? First of all, understanding that sooner or later the future will come out. Then, remembering that what you do today will help you tomorrow. Finally, enjoy every moment of the present moment.
Remember that nothing and no one will be able to give you back the time you have wasted. So what’s the point of thinking about tomorrow if you aren’t even enjoying the present moment?
