How to Stop Worrying and Start Doing

Worry is a powerful emotion. It's what keeps many people awake at night and is what gnaws away at people as they try to do work, enjoy their lives and even when they try to relax. For many people, worry becomes worse and they feel anxiety which is itself a negative emotion. It becomes like a habit for them. They become more anxious at doing things. They feel like, it would consume them eventually. But like other habits and emotions, it could be changed. What people like these mostly do is that they don't focus -on their goals or pleasures.
Today, I am going to give you the best tips on how you could stop worrying and through which anyone could change his/her habit of worrying and starts doing.

Fact or Fiction?
First of all, you have to stay calm and think about your worry. Is it a real factual thing or just any sort of fiction or thought you are carrying as a burden? You should slow down yourself,whatever you are doing,just calm down.It would make the image of your worry clear that how could you make it go away in case of fiction or solve the real factual problem, which leads to my second way to stop worrying.

Resolve the Problem:
There is a big difference between worrying and problem-solving. In the former, you keep yourself in a cycle of continuous thinking about the problem, while in the later one, if you face a problem, you start thinking for its solution. In today's life, everyone is facing some kind of problems, so no one is above them. The difference comes where one starts to worry and the other person thinks for its solution. My advice is to put on your problem-solver hat and starts thinking for the solution.

Don't Overthink:
‘Constant thinking will not take you far from the place you are now. Actions will.’
You can think all day long but you'll make no progress unless you start doing. Worry can cause you to procrastinate and avoid doing something which you would really like to do. Until you start translating your thoughts and solution into actions, they are worthless. You worry that something may go wrong so you don't take action. If you never take action, you never really know whether the outcome will be on your side or same outcome you were worried about. Even with a bad solution or idea, you'll have something to learn from it.

Live in the Present:
Worry is the enemy of joy. Worry is triggered by thinking about future events. The more you think about these events, the more you realize that the outcome is uncertain. Rather than thinking about the future, chose to live in the present, focus on it.

Use these basic and productive strategies to stop worrying and start  doing. That's how you will find happiness and motivation to beat worry and can enjoy the life.

I am Depressed,what should i do?

Sometimes managing your depression is less about what you add to your life and more about what you take away. Here are 6 tips for you, that should be done under depression. These have all become such ingrained habits in me that I don’t even have to think about them anymore.

Ignore/Stop Worrying:

Worrying makes you stressed out but doesn’t actually change anything, as much as we wish it would. So then you have two options: either do something to actively change the situation or don’t worry about it. Either way is going to be a lot more productive than ruminating over things you might not even be able to control. So ignore and stop worrying about that.


Don't Compare Yourself to Other People:
Everyone is on their own unique journey. "Wherever you are right now is exactly where ALLAH needs you to be." Just trust HIM. So don't compare yourself with other people's life and their comforts. You are blessed too in some other way,so keep putting one foot in front of the other and taking baby steps every day and your time will come.
Keep your Phone at Distance:
Checking your phone constantly just gives you anxiety because either something needs your attention (like an email or text) or you’re stressed out because nothing needs your attention and you’re wondering why people aren’t texting you. A lot of people are glued to their phones throughout the day, but I usually have my phone in my room plugged in and only check it a few times a day (unless I’m talking to someone). If you’re out and about, check out your surroundings or do a little people-watching. It’s not that scary to not always be on your phone.
Engage Yourself:
This is similar to the one about checking your phone all day. If you find yourself constantly doing this, maybe it’s time to replace that habit with a new one. If you feel yourself alone in public and don’t want to look that way, maybe you can read an inspirational blog or listen to some motivational speech on Youtube. Or maybe you can write your own blog. So engage yourself in some healthy activity to divert your mind from the depressing state to a productive one.
Play Games:
I’ve always been terrible at video games, but I guess that’s a good thing because I’m happier for it. For some people, video games are a way to release stress, but they’re really violent and seem to cause you more anxiety than they relieve. If you play a lot of video games, consider reading a personal development book or watching an inspirational TED talk instead. A lot less violence and a happier you.
Don't Complain:
Finally, the last thing not to do in depression is to complain. Sure, there are times when everyone wants to whine about things and to complain. Complaining is just a bad habit, like anything else, so have faith in ALLAH and try going a whole day without complaining, you'll see how your attitude changes.
