Tired of trying to think your way out of anxiety to no avail? These psychology-based suggestions from DrAliceBoyes can help.
One simple but effective strategy, say to yourself,"There's no emergency right now. I can allow myself to take my eye off this threat for the next minute." Give yourself permission to take a single minute off from stressing about the problem. Then, extend this, to five minutes or 10 minutes. Try this until it's working well for you, then try 30 minutes or an hour.
Even if you are expecting bad news at any moment, in a literal sense, there usually isn't an emergency you're facing right that minute.as you, but who thinks differently than you, think about the topic of your anxiety? What would they think are your options for resolving it or moving forward with your anxiety? If you can, test this out by asking someone who fits this description.or not trusting others. By exposing your fears to others, you can disrupt that part of the anxiety spiral.
This strategy can feel grounding and stabilizing because it reinforces that you're a competent and multifaceted adult, who has many values, beyond avoiding anxiety. The skill required to use this strategy is that you can identify a simple, single action that expresses your chosen value.

You can enact your deeply held value, without needing to over-do it to prove your worth.We all do things to escape anxious feelings. For most of us, these will include some that are generally seen as positive and some that are generally seen as negative .
