Dealing with difficult times
Everyone has difficult days, you may have a difficult day or a series of tough days, but please do not give up. The sun is rising after each night, and so it is you, you will rise above each problem in the end. So, please don’t ever give up on yourself and your dreams. The best you can do in your darkest times, is to try to see beyond the dark clouds that are approaching you, try to keep positive in your mind despite everything is against you.
Overthinking situations may stressed you out and may bring you to the edge of your emotional stability, so before reaching that step start building around yourself a healthy environment.According to doctor Brett A. Moore, in his book Taking Control of Anxiety: Getting the Best of Worry, Stress, and Fear, suggests finding an interval each day when you are free to worry about anything that may cross your mind, so about 20 minutes you can worry about anything you want ( he also suggests writing down each of your angst on a piece of paper and using them in that interval). During the day, when you have a negative, thought try distracting yourself from that by thinking about positive things, about happy memories or by doing something else ( read, write in a journal, do a puzzle). He suggests on each negative thought you have, to write 4 positive alternative related to that.
Times are tough, and your mental sanity should be one of your top priorities. Do not avoid dealing with your emotions, start by making small steps in the direction of your emotional health and well being. Anther step that helps in dealing with anxiety and difficult situations, is simply taking deep breaths and concentrating on breathing, this way oxygen is brought up in your lungs and by concentrating on that, your body will begin to calm down as well as your mind. When facing a difficult time in your life, it is important to learn how to relax, you can do this by simply taking a 5 minutes break or by taking a walk through the park, and if you can afford, you can go on holiday and relax.
