(一)A A.Five Ways to Instantly Rid Yourself of Needless Worry A while back,I had a great day and everything was going exactly as I wanted.I was meeting tons of new people and everything was amazing.I felt like I’ve accomplished a lot.Then suddenly,like an unexpected swift jab,someone made a small remark about me.I felt hurt and the worry began flowing in.Over the years,I’ve developed belief systems that help me get rid of these worries.I want to share these with you. 1.________ It just isn’t possible to get everyone to like you.Trust me,I’ve tried.This only leads to disappointment on a daily basis,since you can’t possibly live up to the entire world’s expectations.Here’s a new goal for you instead if you really want to get rid of worry and unhappiness from your life.Focus on what you think of yourself.Who cares what that stranger thinks?If life is about actually being awesome. 2.________ The first thing I ask myself is,will this negative thought affect me in the future at all?Is it going to decrease my quality of life somehow?More often than notnto the future by a couple of days and imagine myself.In this vision,I realize that I won’t be bothered by something so small and I most likely wouldn’t even remember it.A lot of times,just the idea of it fleeting away very soon is enough for me to block out these disturbances. 3.________ When I feel like I’m inadequate based on the need for approval from others,I begin to do some selfreflect on my achievements.I think about how much I’ve improved in the past year.I’ve met amazing people,developed active listening skills,and started something I’ve been thinking about for the past two years.Looking further back,I transformed from a socially awkward kid to a socially lively and confident person.All thanks to mental skills that I consciously yield.I was blessed with true fortunes that others do not have; I was blessed with the gift of selfimprovement. |
