A psychological method to reduce his anxiety
This arises without warning or that it settles permanently, anxiety can quickly become a burden. By raising both our feelings and our brain, it often neutralizes our ability to think in a rational way. However, it is possible to define it.
Psychologist Bob Tabi has developed a simple and effective approach, held in three stages: first aid, maintenance and upgradation. He shares it in the column Psychology today.
First help: to calm the emergency
With an increase in an anxiety, ask yourself whether a real problem requires immediate solution or if your concern is irrational. In the first case, take concrete measures (send an email, finish a task). In the second, thanks to soothing activities like hot bath or walking.
Sometimes anxiety is a resonance of previous trauma. Ask yourself the question “Am I safe now?” You can bring back to the present and reduce these sensations in the past anchor. Anxiety hides other feelings. Try to identify what you feel in parallel. This will help you understand and manage your emotional situation better.
Maintenance: Establish of soothing habits
Once the Emergency has passed, cultivate practices to maintain less anxiety threshold. Take the “temperature” of your feelings regularly. If you feel discomfort, come back to first aid to prevent anxiety from installing anxiety.
Regularly questioning its emotional situation helps prevent crises. This short daily effort can strengthen your long emotional stability.
Upgradation: working on deep reasons
Angry people often take the defense mechanisms developed in childhood. But in adulthood, these patterns can be unsuitable. Learning to say any or the prescribed limit, even if it causes a little concern, is an important step to free itself from this burden.
Instead of avoiding stressful situations, gradually face them. Except for your comfort field, you strengthen your self -comprehension and change your perception of anxiety. This not only changes your vision of the world, but also itself.
