How To Train Your Brain To Stop Worrying

Every day of our lives we worry about all kinds of things, no matter if it�s important or really unnecessary. Which also affects our mood during the day. Most people think that by worrying they are learning from their experience. However, we can�t control the future and know what will happen. So we need to stop worrying in order to keep ourselves healthy.

Focusing on events that happened in the past and we can not change, is depression. While focusing on events in the future that we can not change is worrying. For this reason, read the following ways which can help you to stop worrying.

Exercise in order to train your body and brain

Worrying is caused by the way our brains learn to survive, deciding to turn on the fight or flight system. According to a study published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, exercising and physical activity is very helpful for symptoms of anxiety.

By not exposing our body to constant stress, our mind will understand that there�s much less to worry about.

If you exercise, you will be able to accelerate your heart rate and perspiration and regulate blood pressure as well, which is a common physical symptom of stress.

Therefore, if you start to worry, simply go outside to take a walk. And focus on the amazing sights and sounds of nature, the motion of your limbs, and your breathing.

Write your thoughts down

This method has been found to provide amazing effects. If you are not able to fall asleep or simply can�t focus on anything else besides your worries, you should write them down.

By doing this, your brain is relaxing and starting to breathe. Due to the fact that it will no longer need to remember all the details. According to scientists, people with chronic worries might also be avoiding problems regularly.

This was also confirmed by scientists in the journal Anxiety, Stress & Coping, who gave worriers an opportunity to write down 3 possible outcomes for the situation they were worried about. After they evaluated the answers for practical solutions, they concluded:

�When participants� problem elaborations were rated for concreteness, both studies showed an inverse relationship between the degree of worry and concreteness: The more participants worried about a given topic, the less concrete was the content of their elaboration. The results challenge the view that worry may promote better problem analyses. Instead, they conform to the view that worry is a cognitive avoidance response.�

Meditate

Another very useful method for training the brain not to worry is meditation. People who have perfected the brain training technique claim that you should observe the worrisome thoughts as they enter your mind and after that leave it as clouds on a breezy day.

A few moments you find free to pay attention to what is really important to you and simply ignore all the noise in your life will chase the worrisome thoughts away.
