Scientific research shows that if not treated, anxiety disorder will develop into depression, which may also lead to serious consequences such as premature death and suicide.
Anxiety is an emotion that many people have experienced. Do you have any symptoms of anxiety?
Anxiety may suddenly appear, just like an unprovoked attack of panic disorder. It may also exist in the form of widespread disorder for a long time, which makes you worry about the little things in your life.
If anxiety has begun to negatively affect your life, sleep, ability to build interpersonal relationships or the efficiency of study and work, then you may suffer from anxiety.
So today, I will teach you two tips on how to scientifically defeat anxiety and move towards a more active and sunny life.
-1- make things worse
A research result presented at the 30th European Neuropsychopharmacology Conference held in Paris indicates that one of the most effective ways to deal with anxiety is to “make things worse”.
People often want to do something “perfectly”, or wait for a “perfect” time to start.
But this will lead to delay, indefinite delay, or simply get rid of the word “start”. All these will lead to stress and anxiety.
So, why don’t we start with “doing worse”? Don’t worry about the result.
This will not only make your beginning a lot easier, but you will also find that your task execution speed is much faster than before.
Moreover, you may find that what you have done is not bad at all even if it is not good enough, you can make adjustments later.
Taking “doing badly” as the motto can give you the courage to try new things, add a little interest to everything, and make you stop worrying too much about the final result.
That is to say, even if you do badly at the moment, as long as you have a beginning, you can gradually improve as you move forward. This is a kind of liberation.
-2- Tolerate yourself and delay your worries
Think about it: What would you do if you had a friend around you who kept picking mistakes in you and your life? I’m afraid I have long wanted him to disappear from your world.
But the fact is that anxious people are often so hard on themselves. They are so used to this kind of harsh criticism that they are not aware of it and are very unfriendly to themselves.
Therefore, we should learn to forgive our mistakes.
Another effective technique is to “delay worrying”. If something goes wrong, you feel that you have to worry. Don’t get into a state of worry right away, but delay it properly.
You will find that when you look back once in a while, the situation that originally worried you is actually not so disturbing and disturbing.
You know, if we don’t provide nutrients for our negative energy, it will actually decline very quickly.
So are worries and anxieties.
Now, let’s review two tips to overcome anxiety: 1. Allow yourself to do worse at first, and don’t force yourself to pursue perfection; 2. Be tolerant and delay worrying.
I hope these two points can help you find a correct way to treat anxiety and turn anxiety into motivation in this era of collective anxiety.
