Understanding Anxiety To Manage Stress And Anxiety
By definition anxiety is a condition where the person feels uneasy or apprehensive due to anticipation of a realistic or perceived threat. The feeling of anxiety mostly stems from association with previous painful or traumatic experiences. Take for example speaking in public, a lot of people will certainly feel stressed when speaking in public but this feeling will be reciprocated when you already have a not so memorable experience previously. Not to mention that if this is not the only time this happened, the chances of you getting an anxiety attack will be much more.
The good news is that whatever you have conditioned your brain to be apprehensive towards you can also reverse just by being conscious of your thinking. Since the main cause of anxiety is in the way we think, being conscious of our thoughts will allow us to gain a better understanding of what we fear, thereby giving us more options in terms of finding a solution. When you are faced with a stressful situation monitor the pattern of thought that runs through your mind. Are you the type who jumps into conclusion or immediately dives into negative "what if" situations?
Take note if you are the type of person who fits this type of thinking as this will mostly cause you to panic. Monitoring is your first step to changing the way that you think. By being conscious about your stream of thoughts during stressful times you will be able to make the necessary steps to eliminate the negativity that is manifesting in your personality.
Some of the drawbacks are it can get very complicated and may require a bit of time to be able to do so. Ask yourself a lot of questions during times of great stress so you can think of an answer than worrying about what might happen. Or if thinking about the bad things that can happen is unavoidable, try to formulate solutions or backup plans when things go wrong. In public speaking, for instance, tell yourself that worrying is a complete waste of time. If something happens, make up some funny lines to say so you can regain your composure.
Stress and anxiety often go hand in hand. When left unchecked, their tandem will do a lot of damage to you. Learning to keep your thoughts under control will benefit you greatly regardless of situation that you may find yourself in.
