Knowing that worry and fear might be holding you back from living the life of your dreams and stopping that worry or fear are two different things. You might know that you live with a lot of fear or worry but changing your thoughts or your mind can be difficult. The feeling of helplessness or sadness over a particular situation or your life can leave you feeling like things will never change. You want to be happy and optimistic about your future but what can you do? How can you get past these negative thoughts and become happier and more optimistic about your life? How can you end the depressing days and begin to change your life?
Chances are that you are confronted with that fear or worry every morning when you wake up. Once the fog of sleep clears, you come face to face with the things that worry you the most. Maybe you hate your job or your love relationship is in shambles. Perhaps you have a mountain of debt that is causing many other problems in your life. Is this the most productive way to begin your day and tackle these troubling issues in your life?
While you might be tempted to just want to call it a day before it even begins, make your first thought one of kindness to yourself. Understand that this is a pattern and a habit. You wake up and you start to worry. Instead, make a conscious decision to not think about the problem or even try to come up with a solution first thing in the morning. Pretend that you're a little child with sleep still in your eyes. You're innocent and vulnerable. Don't insist that you come face to face with this so called reality and instead tell yourself that you love yourself and that you're not going to think about the problem until you're fully awake. This might not be until you've had a cup of coffee or a shower or you could even set a time limit on this. Tell yourself that you're not going to be ready to deal with all of this until 11:00 or until after lunch, if necessary.
Recognizing that you're thinking negatively or that you're focusing on a problem is another step in the right direction. Often we become so overwhelmed with worry that we are unable to see a solution to the problems that we are confronted with. This worry takes up a lot of energy and time that could be better used to focus on the solution once it arrives. A clear mind is more receptive to solutions while a mind full of worry is only focusing on the problem.
Any time you can recognize that you're wasting time worrying about the problems in your life, stop. Just stop and tell yourself that worry never solved anything. While some worry can motivate us to do something about a dangerous situation, too much worry can cause us to freeze up. This is our fight or flight instinct. Be sure that you're not allowing your worry or focus on a bad situation to cause you to freeze in your tracks like a deer in a car's headlights and if this is the case tell yourself that you're going to use this instinct to propel you towards finding a solution instead. Visualize what you want to happen or your life without the problem in it. Look to the future and feel what it will be like to be free of the problem and exactly how you want your life to be.
Being a little stubborn with yourself and with these negative emotions is very important. While you might wish that it was as simple as flipping a switch or turning a key, these negative thoughts will probably try to return rather quickly. This has been your habit for a while and how you have been living. Being persistent and believing in yourself and your ability to change your thoughts and change your life is key. Remember that these negative thoughts are not helping you and they're preventing you from making the changes necessary for your own happiness can help. Try not to become angry with yourself but be gentle with yourself and love yourself. Respect these thoughts but understand their use and master your emotions for your overall well-being.
Visualizing and dreaming are both tools that you can use to free your mind from worry and fear. Feeling as if you are actually living a different life without these problems will begin the process of allowing your mind to find a solution to any problem that you might be having. Every great thing in this world began with a thought. Let your mind roam free and give yourself permission to dream about the things that will make you happy. Is it a loving relationship, a life free of debt or a career that brings you joy and fulfillment? No matter what it is, you deserve to be happy.
