Experts teach patients to use "cognitive behavioral therapy" to combat anxiety. The purpose of this approach is to change the way of thinking that leads to anxiety.
First ask yourself whether your anxiety is effective or ineffective.
Will your anxiety lead to a series of behaviors in the next day or two? What would you do to eliminate this anxiety? Will it develop one by one? If not, it is ineffective anxiety.
The second point is, are you willing to accept uncertainty?
One of the core issues of all anxiety is your attitude towards uncertainty. One thing I say to people is that in uncertain days, you think about all the things you do: cross the street, eat in restaurants, say hello to strangers, take the elevator, take the plane. All these are uncertain. You are not absolutely sure, but you can basically make a good bet.
The third point is to identify your expectations and challenges.
One of the things we do is to let people take time to eliminate anxiety. You spend 30 minutes a day writing down your anxiety, and then put it aside, so that you won't be unhappy all day. One of the purposes of doing this is not to make you feel certain but tired. Boredom is very useful and makes you lazy to think.
The fourth point is to see whether the scope of your anxiety is related to your core problem.
Do you have to be perfect? Do you have to be better than anyone else? Do you think you can't live without a family?
The fifth point is how do you deal with failure?
Anxious people tend to think that failure is disastrous. They often believe that if they think of failure, they will fail. In fact, most of the things people worry about are often quite positive results.
The sixth point is to use your emotions instead of anxiety.
Sometimes emotions, especially the feeling of pain, are important information about your needs. More friendship and appreciation are needed in work, and more opportunities for improvement are needed. You can't always feel good.
The last point is to leave some time for use.
Review it in time to see if the things you usually worry about are bothering you now. You can take a step back and squeeze time. Imagine how you feel a month or a year from now. One of the problems of anxious people is that they always live in a future that has never appeared. The best way is to try and try to focus on the best possible moment, that is, enjoy the moment. What happens in your brain when you are anxious?
When anxiety and anxiety reach a certain level, the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for emotion, will not work. And your anger, worry and motivation come from here. It activates the thinking part of the brain and directly affects language and abstract thinking.
