  1. How to focus on the Circle of Control? A man has been trying to cut down a tree in the rain for hours, after a while his neighbor seeing that the man is facing some difficulty goes over and asks what the problem is and the man replies “It’s hard to cut down the tree because the wood is wet. www.betterlyf.com

  2. Ask yourself if the problem is solvable If we focus on problems where the stressor is an external factor like other people’s behavior then we would not be putting our energy to good use as the way people act is not in our hands so we should focus on working on factors that are our responsibility.

  3. Challenge the reality of anxious thoughts We often become so caught up in our negative thought patterns that we tend to maximize the adversities and discount the positives.

  4. Accept uncertainty Often our best laid plans do not materialize and it becomes a source of stress for us. We go over every minute detail as to where things could have gone wrong.

  5. Focus on the present rather than the past or future We have no control over what is going to happen the next minute no matter how prepared we are and how much planning is done.

  6. Confine your worrying to one time period during the day If worrying seems inevitable then we should try to limit it to a specific time period so we don’t expend all our energies on it and rather allocate more time on the resolution of problems.

  7. Worrying won’t stop the bad stuff from happening; it will only stop you from enjoying the good things. You may also take the help of an online counselor or therapist if you feel overwhelmed by any situation and overthink a lot. Follow Us https://www.facebook.com/BetterLYFCounselling
