It seems so simple for someone to tell you to 'stop worrying' as though it really is as
simple a thing as deciding not to worry. In truth, worry can be an insidious beast,
winding its way through your mind, leaving behind a trail of half-formed anxieties
about the future. No one ever wants the beast there, it just is.
It can be stopped, though. But like most creatures we battle, it takes a little cunning,
and a dose of conscious effort to do so. Consider these battle plans:

Take a Reality Break
Worry wants you to think every terrible thing in your mind is about to come to pass,
right now, in this instant. But is this really true? Take a step back and consider your
worries from a more dispassionate view. How many are likely to come true? If they
were, would it really be as bad as you're imagining?

Home in on the Problem
Worries tend to be big vague things without a lot of real hard facts behind them. For
example, if you're feeling uneasy but can't put your finger on why you think you're
going to fail, but still feel like everything is about to blow up, it's time to take a
harder look at what's going on. What are you really worried about? Keep digging
until you find the root cause.

Decrease Vulnerability
You're inclined to worry a lot more when you're tired or hungry. That's because
you're more vulnerable to negative thoughts when you're not at your best. By paying
attention to your body's needs, you'll find you worry a lot less and can manage it
better when you do.

Quit Trying to Read Minds
If your worries are about what someone else is thinking, you’re just wasting your
time. There is no way to know what’s on someone else’s mind unless you ask them.
Why not sit down and have an honest conversation instead.

Let it Go
Worry is amplified the more you keep it in your head. Try talking to a friend or
journaling about your concerns. Just letting it out tends to make worries dissipate if
not disappear entirely.
