How to Deal With Worry: 4 Methods and Tips

Affirmations can be incredibly powerful. Sometimes, however, you need to use some other techniques. Maybe another technique works for you right now, it’s worth trying.

Here are some additional tips and techniques to help you deal with worry:

Challenge the Things You’re Worrying About

For some people, the only way to really put worry to one side is to challenge what it is they’re worried about.

Affirmations are great at helping change the way we think, both consciously and subconsciously, but it can also help to challenge the root cause of worry.

Try asking yourself:

• Why am I worried about [insert reason]?
• How is worrying about it going to help?
• What is the worst-case scenario I’m worried about?
• How can I do something to stop the worse outcome happening?

Sometimes, simply answering these questions will put everything into a more manageable perspective. Combined with positive affirmations and other techniques, you’ll find it easier to let go of that worry.

Figure Out If There Is a Solution

This sounds obvious, but a lot of people are worrying about things they can actually do something about.

If the cause of the worry is solvable, you need to take action. Taking action might seem more painful than dealing with the worry, but for the sake of your mental health, it’s better you do something.

Talk About Your Worries With Someone

Talking about worries and problems is incredibly powerful and therapeutic. I’ve lost count of the number of people I’ve worked with that were able to let go of all their worries after just talking openly about it just once.

Ideally, you’ll have a friend or family member you know will listen and understand. If not, don’t be afraid to reach out to a professional.

There should be charities and other support groups you can reach out to depending on where you live as the first point of contact.
