1. Avoiding your fears
Avoiding issues that causes stress creates more anxiety. Imagine shoveling dirt under a rug then wondering why you keep tripping over the mound of dirt every time you walk near it. The issues are still there, but the more you fight to erase them from your mind, the stronger they become.
Avoiding your fears may seem reasonable, but addressing the situation could help you put your fears aside. Avoiding your fears will only create another in its place. Once you learn to face your demons, they can't hurt you anymore.
2. Leaving your anxiety unchecked
Being aware that you suffer from anxiety is the first step. Being in denial causes other underlying disorders such as (OCD) Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or other phobias. Leaving anxiety unchecked can also lead to severe depression. Denial is a psychological mechanism that we use when things have become too uncomfortable for us to face. It is believed to be the first stage of coping in a hard situation, event, trauma or experience.
So, ask yourself whether you feel inflicted by the fears and phobias that control your thoughts. Denial is often the first step toward acceptance. Until you face the truth, you cannot heal from it.
3. Your expectations are too high
How high are your expectations? Expectations are strong beliefs that something will happen in the future. Yet when things don't go according to plan, we spin out of control. As a result we feel crushed when our expectations get tarnished. Consequently, this can cause anxiety. It is therefore important to bear in mind that expectations are anomalies. They only lead to disappointment.
Try to put a stop to your expectations. Anxiety usually surfaces when we don't get what we want. Remember that nothing in life is set in stone.
4.You need reassurance from others
Do you need constant reassurance from others? If this is the case then you most likely suffer from anxiety. As a result, reassurance leads to an unhealthy belief in your own worth and esteem Furthermore, if you are constantly worried about what others think, your anxiety will always be elevated.
Learn to trust your own opinion. If you have to make a decision believe that you can acquire the best plan of action. Trust the fact that you have all the answers within you.
5. You wash your worries away with medication
While medication is helpful, relying on a magic pill is irresponsible. Eventually, the medication will likely stop working, but the fears will still be there. While medications such as Xanax, Valium and Ativan have a calming effect, they provide a false sense of dealing with anxiety.
In order to live a healthy life you must rely on positive reinforcement to help ease your thoughts. Try exercising, spending time outdoors, meditating or listening to music as an alternative.
6. You let negative self talk get the best of you
Negative self talks, disturbed sleep and believing that something is wrong with you are all part of anxiety. But when not addressed, helplessness may turn into severe depression.
Learn to live in the present moment. One of the most troublesome effects of anxiety is thinking too much about the future. Rather than allowing your brain to create scenarios and suffer from disasters. But rather than allowing your anxiety to get the best of you. you have the power to substitute the mindset with something positive. Instead, opt for something that brings you joy.
7. You refuse to speak about your issues
If you've discovered yourself to be an anxious person, it is important to examine the issues from trauma and past circumstances. Also, environmental factors and genetics play a role in anxiety too. It's important to address the issues that we learn from our behaviors and past experiences. Seeking help and speaking to someone may help you better deal with anxiety.
