Is it me or does the time seem to be going faster and faster every year

Sometimes it can be quite frightening the way the days and weeks go by so quickly. If you’re the worrying type, it’s very easy to get caught up in the whole “time” issue and feel that your life is passing you by. And what does worry do It makes you feel stressed, that’s what it does!

Then all of this stress makes you feel anxious . . . . . and before you know it you’re experiencing those horrible physical symptoms of anxiety.

Time for a change!!

Once you get into the habit of worrying about things it can be a hard habit to break. But worrying is a learned condition and, like any thing learned, it can be unlearned!

But before you can make any headway with changing your habits, let’s have a look at a few things that might be blocking you from making progress.

Are You Worthy

First of all, do you feel that you’re worthy of experiencing happiness Do you feel that you have to “earn” it in some way And by “earning” it I mean do you feel you have to endure some of the more unpleasant things in life before you have “earned” your happiness Is this you

Have you ever gone out for the day with the aim of having a really lovely time and had your day spoilt by worrying thoughts You know you locked the back door on your way out - so why are you suddenly worrying that you’ve left it unlocked Where did that random thought come from all of a sudden

Can you see how your worrying thoughts might be stopping you from experiencing happiness Your brain is literally sabotaging your more pleasant times because it’s been programmed over the years to think that you’re not worthy of true happiness.

Most worries are not useful. So you need to make a positive commitment to cutting down on worrying.

The Worry Notebook

One of the most popular ways of achieving this is to delay your worrying. Get into the habit of postponing your worrying until a later time. Have a special “Worry Notebook” and, as a worrying thought comes to you, make a note of it in your notebook. Tell yourself that the worry is written down (so you won’t forget it) and you will worry about it later.

Whether you actually do go back to your notebook later on or not is up to you, of course. Some people find they cope well by having a special ‘Worry Time’ where they choose to address their worries in an allotted time slot. However, some people find that they forget they ever had the original worry, they don’t refer to the notebook later on and the whole thing gets completely forgotten! How wonderful would that be And all because you chose to delay your worrying rather than dwell on it straight away!

Who knows, maybe if you look back over worries that you’d written down several weeks ago they would seem silly now and totally irrelevant. Why not try it and let me know how you get on

When Worrying Works in Reverse

When you worry about something, it’s a bit like having the Law of Attraction in motion but in a reverse sort of way. If you think about something for long enough your subconscious mind will do all it can to bring that thing into your life. It’s very obedient and “helpful” like that!

Unfortunately, your subconscious mind doesn’t deal with negatives very well. So if you’re always worrying that you don’t want to trip up at an important meeting, your subconscious will be very much focusing on “tripping up”. So don’t be surprised if it happens!

Another example could be that you’re worried about blushing in front of somebody you’re trying to impress. So what are you concentrating on Blushing, that’s right! And your subconscious mind will dutifully concentrate on blushing right along there with you!

So can you see that worry quite often can bring about the very thing you’re worried about !

Using the delaying tactic described above is quite often enough to calm things down with you. If you then choose to use positive visualisation as well (to imagine the smooth way that you would like things to happen rather than dwelling on the worrying aspects) then quite often the results will be amazing!
