Stop Worrying & Start Living

10 Tips to Stop Worrying and Start Living

1. Live in Day Tight Compartments – only worry about what’s happening today – that’s all you can control

2. Sleep – try to rest before you get tired, everything feels worse when you’re exhausted

3. Co-operate with the inevitable – there are some things you can’t control. Accept them and plan how to deal with them so you can move on

4. Try and face your problems logically – follow these 3 simple steps:
• What’s the very worst that can happen?
• Prepare to accept the worst
• Think of ways to improve on it

5. Count your blessings not your trifles – clichéd but true. We’ve often got a lot more to be thankful than worry about

6. Don’t worry about the past – what’s done is done. Learn from it and move on

7. Keep busy – activity keeps the mind off anxiety

8. Use the law of averages to out weigh your worries – ask yourself ‘How likely really is it this thing is going to happen?’

9. Remember that unjust criticism is often a disguised compliment

10. Create happiness for others – research shows that doing good deeds can activate neurotransmitters in the brain that are associated with positive feelings and decrease stress and anxiety
