Tips to reduce anxiety
ASSUME YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH — ALWAYS
Whether it’s a first date or a job interview, always assume you are good enough. Speak to yourself positively always. You owe it to yourself as no one else will do it for you as well as you can. Get into the habit of liking yourself and seeing yourself as a wonderful ‘package’ that anyone would be lucky to have in their life (or their company).
BE MORE ACTIVE
Even 10 minutes if walking per day will make a difference.
TAKE LIFE LESS SERIOUSLY — LAUGH MORE
Sometimes we worry so much about things that may never happen and get ourselves into an anxious state. Smile and laugh more. Life isn’t always as bad as we anticipate. In fact, our anticipation of events is often worse than the event itself. Don’t listen to your thoughts — they are only thoughts NOT facts and you can dismiss them anytime you want to.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN’T CONTROL
There’s absolutely no point in worrying and fussing over things you can’t control. Learn to let go and focus your attention where it matters — on the things you can control. Namely — you and your reactions to life.
