Managing Anxiety Tip 11

Working with the situation:
We often get stuck in one way of thinking about our problems and situations. This can lead to us repeating patterns of thinking and behaviour which might not serve us very well.
 
Try asking yourself these questions:
Avoid – is there anything about this situation I can avoid or say no to?
Alter – is there anything about this situation I can change (external changes)?
Adapt – is there anything I can change about how I feel/what I think about this situation (internal changes)?
Accept – is this something I need to accept by:

  • Breathing into it
  • Sitting with the discomfort and gently working to expand my tolerance to anxiety
  • Sharing with someone
  • Experiencing – Just being able to say, ‘I am stressed and that is my experience right now…’ can feel calming
  • Moving through/moving on/letting go
  • Learning from the situation
