Free Your Mind of Anxiety

Releasing your burden from anxiety and worry will free your mind to think about the important things in life. At the very least, you will be able to think clearly without your mind being consumed with worry. Oftentimes, people get negative thoughts stuck in their heads and they become consumed with negativity. Just as people let anger, lust, and other vices control them, individuals allow worry to dictate their lives. Your own thoughts should not be a detriment to who you are, where you’re going, and how you think about your life and the lives of others. In this, it’s also important to surround yourself with positive people and resources. Just as others can negatively influence your thoughts or make you feel bad about something, you can do the same to others when you cast your worry into the world around you.

Rather than panicking and worrying about every negative possibility out there, think positively and analyze the reasons why you are anxious or worrisome. This will enable you to become aware of any reasons behind why you worry. If you put in the effort to make a positive change, you will be able to improve your life in many ways. By identifying things that you may be uncertain of or worried about, you might be able to alleviate them. It wouldn’t be surprising to find out that you laugh at yourself when you finally realize why you are so worried about silly things. By analyzing your worries and doubts, you will be able to educate yourself and make changes to avoid worrying in the future.

You don’t want to miss out on being happy because you were simply misinformed. Educate yourself, instead of worrying yourself. For example, if it’s your health you’re worried about, or going to the doctor’s office, you must realize that it’s much more beneficial for you to explore the informed results rather than misguided possibilities in your mind. Not doing this is counterproductive because worry can adversely affect your health. And that just doesn’t make sense at all.

Remember that you can make good and bad things happen to you. Wouldn’t you rather have positive things happen to you? And have good things come your way? We all want positive things to happen but in life they don’t always come to us. Like the saying goes, don’t let life happen to you; make life happen. And this, certainly, cannot be done if all you do is worry.

Passage from How to Always Be Unhappy

This is a passage from How to Always Be Unhappy, a work in progress. You can read more about this book on my website, http://drsinghbooks.com

Murphy’s Law is the notion that anything that can go wrong will go wrong if given the opportunity. We’ve all had days where it feels like the sky is falling. You are sure the weather report called for clear skies and sunny days, yet that gray cloud keeps following you around, raining on your parade. The alarm clock doesn’t go off, your dry cleaning isn’t ready, the car won’t start and, when it does, the traffic resembles Times Square on New Year’s Eve, only you can’t even rock out with Dick Clark. You start to wonder what your day would have been like if you just stayed in bed and buried your head under the covers. Or, maybe you have a huge presentation at the office or in school. Whatever the reason, failure is out there somewhere, lurking, waiting to pounce on you. There’s no telling how many hurdles will be thrown in your path today.

Life does not take anyone’s plans or personal convenience into consideration. Therefore it is imperative that we must be able to adapt and overcome these detours from time to time in order to survive. That may sound a bit drastic or dramatic because it’s obvious that most people do not actually face survival, as in life or death choices, every day. But each one of us faces challenges both big and small throughout our everyday lives. Those situations arise in every aspect of our lives from our personal relationships with family and friends to professional forums with clients, partners, colleagues, etc. So here’s the big news, you are NOT going to win every challenge, clear every hurdle cleanly, or make every correct decision.
