I have been feeling a little stressed and anxious lately, and i don’t really know why. I literally have no reason to feel this way, but i do.
So this morning I decided to deal with these uncontrollable nerves of mine, so I can move on with this week’s schedule (and the rest of my life)
When googling ‘stress release’ and ‘how to get rid of anxiety’ I stumbled on this list. Even thought it is total common sense it was a nice read and the advices are both true and good.
The world is happening very fast these days, and we have to be able to take a load of pressure to keep up – just remember that life and people are not perfect and nobody is expecting us to be (except maybe ourselves, which is the whole problem)
1. Forgive yourself for every mistake you’ve ever made.
2. Forgive others for their offenses against you.
3. Stop obsessing over things you can’t control.
4. Take breaks often to clear you mind.
5. Do one thing at a time.
6. Stop over analyzing and start doing.
7. Stop judging what others do or don’t do.
8. Learn to say no and really mean it.
9. Only add to your “to do” list after crossing 2 things off.
10. When you buy something new, get rid of something old.
11. Give yourself some sincere approval.
12. Stop being a perfectionist and move on.
13. Let go of trying to control everything.
14. Don’t get emotionally invested in every little thing.
15. Quit agonizing over decisions you’ve made. It’s a done deal.
16. Remember that almost everything is temporary.
17. Ask yourself: Will it matter in 3 years? If not, let it go.
18. Find reasons to laugh several times a day.
19. Stop taking things personally, it’s not always about you!
20. Eat for nourishment not for comfort.
21. Don’t compare yourself to others. Life is not a contest.
22. Smile at everyone!
23. Start every conversation with a positive thought.
24. Don’t worry about things that haven’t happened yet.
25. Quit reacting like everything is an emergency.
