Anxiety & Panic Disorder

Stress

Stress is a part of daily life. Pressures occur throughout life and those pressures cause stress. It's how we react to it that makes all the difference in maintaining our health and well-being.


All of us will experience situations that may cause us to become stressed or anxious. These are just too many to be mentioned here but, as a general rule, stress occurs when we are faced with the feeling that we do not have the control of a situation.

Of course, everyone will have different reasons why a situation causes them pressure. Some people are more suscetible than others to stress; for some even ordinary daily decisions seem insurmountable.

On the other hand, there are those people who seem to thrive under stress by becoming highly productive.
What are these signs?

Blocking The Behaviors That Keep Stress Alive

There are three obsessive behaviors that you are likely to be engaging in that prevent you from enjoying a stress-free life. Recognizing these barriers can be a great first step towards getting rid of the problems of excessive stress.



Obsessive Negativity - when you are obsessively negative, it means that you have a tendency towards being negative about people, places, situations and things in your life. Perhaps you find yourself saying things like "I can't do this!" or "No one understands!" or "Nothing ever works!", for example. You may be doing this unconsciously, but essentially you have what's called a "sour grapes" attitude, and it holds you back from viewing life from a positive lens and enjoy the beauty in yourself and in the people around you. There's a whole world out there for you...with happiness and positive thinking.


 

FIRST, ask the people you know, love and trust, "Am I negative about things?", "Do I complain a lot?", "Am I difficult to be around?". It may be hard for you to listen to the answers, as the truth sometimes hurts a great deal. But the insight you will get from other people's assessment of you is invaluable, because you will know exactly how others see you. Accept their comments as very helpful information to changing your behavior.


SECOND, keep a journal to write down and establish patterns of when you are using blocking behaviors. Even if you're not thrilled with the idea of writing, you can make little entries into a note book or journal each day. It will help you to see the patterns in your behavior that reveal exactly what you're doing to prevent yourself from curing stress and
anxiety.
