It is often said that worry is the thief of joy. However, in today’s highly stressful world, it can be difficult to remember that. Sometimes we have so much on our plate that worrying becomes almost like second nature.

Fortunately, there are things you can do to reduce this habit. In this article, we will show you five ways to get on top of your worrying.

Worrying is a challenge that affects many of us.

Beat the worry habit and bring joy into your life.

1. Go to bed earlier

A well-rested mind and body are the first tools in your arsenal when it comes to fighting the worry habit. When you have had a good night’s sleep your mind is more likely to see solutions instead of problems. Additionally, the time you spend sleeping is time taken away from worrying as you can avoid the late night worry-fuelled thought train.

2. Practice conscious breathing

Conscious breathing is the practice in which you pay attention to your breath. By focusing on the movement of air in and out of your nose and mouth, you are able to bring yourself back to the present and interrupt negative thoughts you may have been having. Conscious breathing also helps to physically calm down your body if you are exhibiting signs of a worry induced panic attack.
