Anxiety is a feeling that is unpleasant, but necessary, because it helps us avoid various kinds of dangers.
But if it is too strong and prevents you from enjoying life to the fullest, it is worth thinking about solving this problem.
To do this, it is worth turning to a curious fact established by neurologists. They discovered that children who begin to speak later often have behavioral problems. The reason is poorly developed internal speech, or mental dialogue, when we say something to ourselves and answer ourselves.
Internal dialogue is also important for adults.
Try to speak out loud or at least to yourself about all the things that worry you, or even better, write them down (on paper or electronically).
One of the effective exercises that can reduce anxiety is a diary of your thoughts, in which you should write down your worries and any unclear feelings.
In addition to verbalization, you can use another, no less effective way to manage anxiety.
If you feel yourself getting anxious, try focusing your attention on a specific subject.
If you have a glass of water (a cup of tea, etc.) handy, touch it to feel the temperature of the liquid, smell it, take a sip to appreciate the taste.
The main thing is to concentrate on your actions and feelings.
For reference
Anxiety is a negatively colored emotion that expresses a feeling of uncertainty, the expectation of negative events, and difficult-to-define premonitions.
