Accepting the Symptoms of Anxiety

One effective way of controlling your anxiety is to accept the feelings you are having for exactly what they are, feelings. They are nothing scary, nothing bad, only feelings. They can not hurt you.

As scary as it is to get the weird anxiety symptoms, you must realize that they are completely normal.  In fact, you are the one creating them. Simply accepting that your symptoms are a result of anxiety can help lead you down the road to recovery.

Something that has helped many people is to really accept your symptoms. Don’t shrink in fear from them, but instead go with your symptoms. Put it in your mind that you can work through them. Let yourself realize that the symptoms are not as scary as you make them out to be. They are simply a response to your overactive imagination. Once you lose your fear of your symptoms your anxiety will start to disappear.

Stop What If thinking can stop anxiety

People with Anxiety are extremely creative people, it is one of the reasons that we have such a problem with what if thinking. What if thinking happens when we start torturing yourself with things that you feel could happen. The thing about What if Thinking is most of the time the actual situation is rarely as bad as the anxiety you feel worrying about what could happen.

What are some What Ifs that People have?

• What If I get sick or Die?
• What If I have a heart attack?
• What If I Embarrass myself?
• What If I lose My Job?
• you Name it People with anxiety have probably thought what if…..

So What can you do?

• Replace your What Ifs with So Whats? Is it really that Bad?
• Replace you What Ifs with Positive What Ifs. Instead of thinking What If I get a panic attack replace it with What if I am on the road to getting healthy, what if I feel great toady, what if I have an awesome day.
• Be Active, Exercise do something to switch your focus.
• Make A list of your What Ifs then make a list of replacements that you can use for each What if.

By changing your What ifs to something positive on a daily basis you will slowly start to reshape your mind and overcome What If thinking.

Overcome Anxiety by changing how you think

Did you know that the feelings you get when riding a rollercoaster or doing something exciting are the same as the feelings you get during an anxiety attack?

I know it’s hard to believe but many of the same chemical reactions occur in both cases, it is how you perceive the situation that really makes the difference in how you will feel. One of the key elements to overcoming your anxiety is how you react to your fears. Just Imagine for a minute that you could look upon your anxiety as something exciting. How scary is it now?

Overcoming your anxiety will require you to change your way of thinking. It means using self talk to let yourself know that everything will be alright. Next time you get Anxious, try getting excited, look at it as an opportunity to try out your new skills.

Remember that YOU can help make things better. YOU have the power to choose how you are going to react to anxiety.
