4 Ways To Deal With Worry
When it comes to how to deal with worry, there are 4 things things you can do. Three of them are productive and one of them you need to stop doing right now.
When you have a worry you can either:
- Address it in the moment
- Plan to address it later
- Let it go
- Let it fester
The correct answer to this multiple-choice question is either A,B or C. . D is definitely the wrong answer. Do not let your worries fester
There is a saying going around the Internet “I know worrying works because the things I worry about never happen”.
It’s a joke because we worry about so many things that never come to fruition. Letting your worries fester means spending your time and energy means spending your precious time and energy on things that make you feel bad and will probably never come true.It’s steals joy and makes life more difficult than it needs to be.
It’s better to use your time and energy on reality and on the things right in front of you. Don’t let it fester, instead try one of these three things.
How To Deal With Worry: Be Present
Worrying takes you away from your present situation. When you worry you remove yourself from the present and put yourself into made up unhappy place. That is a waste. You’re losing the precious moments you have right now today. So, be present rather than worry. Here are three ways to help you do that.
How To Deal With Worry: Address, File It or Let It Go.
Address worry in the moment.f you’re worried about something and you can actually take action to combat the issue causing you concern, do it. Address the worry right there then and there so that you can let it go.
File the worry for later
If you cannot address the worry in the moment then immediately plan for when you will address it and let it go. . Say, you’re at the dinner table and you become worried about the car battery failing on your next road trip. Plan to go check the car battery after dinner or even the next morning. Then stop worrying.There’s nothing to worry about until you actually check the battery.
Let It Go
The last see is to simply let it go. If you’re worried about something that you can’t do anything about it then just let it go. There’s no need to worry and fret about things you cannot control. Bring yourself to the present time focus on what’s going on around you. If you’ve got a persistent worry, one that creeps up over and over again here is a trick for letting it go. Write that worry down on a piece of paper and burn it. It sounds crazy but it’s super cathartic. Another option is to write it down and bury it in the ground for the universe and God to deal with. If you can’t control it, let it go.
