How do you stop feeling anxious?

 

Anxiety

From time to time. Episodic anxiety is a normal reaction to uncertainty about what will happen next, whether it be in the next few minutes, days, or months.

 

And mental health experts define anxiety as worrying about a threat still in your future. For example, you may lie awake at night worrying about whether you will catch COVID-19.

It's also natural to want to get rid of those annoying and anxiety-provoking feelings as quickly as possible. But this approach can make you more anxious, says David H. Rosmarin, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at Harvard Medical School in Boston.

“When you worry about getting rid of your anxiety, you are signaling to your nervous system that you have more to worry about. And that makes your anxiety worse,” he says.

Try these steps instead

Tell yourself, "My nervous system is going into overdrive because I'm anxious about this business

Don't criticize yourself for these feelings: Instead, say, "This is a normal, healthy response from my body to these circumstances, which are complex, stressful, or difficult. It's OK to feel this way."

Know that you can have anxiety and still function just fine: "You can do very well with anxiety, and you probably did before," says Rosemarie.

Think of a time when you were anxious but did what you needed to do anyway. Perhaps you were filled with anxiety before an event or meeting. But later, someone said that you did a great job

How to stop worrying

When you're feeling anxious, these techniques can give you quick, short-term relief.

Do a reality check: ask yourself these questions:

On a scale of 1 to 100, how likely is the thing I'm worried about to happen?

Do I have good reasons to believe something is going to go wrong?

Is there a possibility that I am very worried?

Share your anxiety with someone you trust: Don't avoid your anxious thoughts, which can only make them worse. Talk about it with a friend or family member, who can help you put it into perspective
