Four Simple Ways To Deal With Anxiety

By Kamal Nayan | Update Date: Oct 09, 2014 08:09 AM EDT

We all get anxious from time to time, be it work or home. Situations and circumstances often bring anxiety that refuses to subside. However, the important thing is to not let it overpower the life. Here are some simple ways to deal with anxiety: 

Pinpoint the trigger

Observe what sets you off. Once you have figured out what really the problem is, find a way to deal with it. Start putting things in perspective and go ahead from there. 

Allot time for worrying

Experts suggest this strategy and it actually works. Instead of spending all day (or night) worrying about something that is not in your control, allot a few minutes just to fret and worry. In that allotted duration, let your anxiety take you over. At the same time, consciously make an effort to not let it bother you.  

Focus on now. 

Ask yourself

Ask yourself this: Will this matter a year from now? If it doesn't, it probably isn't worth getting anxious about. 

Talk to someone

When you discuss and share your problems with others, you get another person's opinions which will be a complete different viewpoint. In fact, that might just help you see things in a different light.
