Over the past millennium, man has not only learned to get his own food, but also to be very anxious over trifles. And all would be fine if this feature did not interfere with life and would not entail negative consequences.
It has been proven that severe anxiety is the cause of many diseases, including dangerous ones.
How can you learn to stay calm even in the seemingly most difficult situation?
First, let's find out in what situations we are nervous.
A person experiences a feeling of nervousness before a responsible event, when the fear of failure and what they think of a person fetters him and prevents him from being calm. Problems in life situations and other little things bring anxiety.
How does the experience manifest?

A person's palms sweat, heartbeat quickens, it is difficult for him to pull himself together, to pull himself together, there is confusion in words, there is a desire to smoke - all these are manifestations of nervousness, due to which:
- decreased ability to think, so it is more difficult to concentrate when it is really necessary;
- the inability to control the facial expressions of your face, which can affect, for example, at a meeting that is of great importance to you;
- quick fatigue;
- diseases (most often of the nervous system);
- the risk of bad habits that supposedly relieve stress - smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.
We can conclude that experiences only bring harm, so you need to tune in a different way.
To stop worrying about little things, you need to think about how important the subject of your worries is to you. If this is a common fight with a roommate, or you are late for a meeting, reflect on how it will mean in general in your life. Will you remember this in five years and will this event cause as much emotion in you as it does at the moment? If not, then this is a trifling situation that does not deserve your pointed attention.
But what if the moment of excitement does overtake you?
Depict calmness. Let everything boil inside, try to outwardly portray complete equanimity. Then you will become calmer. This happens according to the principle when not the internal mood determines the facial expressions, but on the contrary, the facial expressions "make" the mood.
Discard all manifestations of nervousness. Don't fiddle with your pencil, throw away your cigarette, and don't walk from corner to corner. Continue to monitor your actions.
Do not hurry. In a hurry, your calmness disappears, concentration and attention decrease.
Strengthen the nervous system to relieve stress more easily! How?
Meditate. This method is very helpful in calming yourself and the nervous system.
Go in for sports. This will not only help to get rid of nervousness, but also give a good mood.
Get rid of bad habits. There are many other ways to relax. For example, take a warm bath or take a walk.
Analysis of the situation will also help. If you can't get rid of your worry completely, find the true cause of the worry. Let's say your husband has gone to the store and has been gone for an hour. Perhaps the store is just a queue. By scrolling to the end of the situation, you can easily get rid of the worries. Also, one should not idealize the moments of the past and “demonize” the events of the future. What will happen will happen.
Look at things positively. For example, if you don’t want to go to work, then think about the fact that by going to it, you will lose weight, and also pay money.
When worried about a situation, ask yourself, "Can I change something?" If the answer is no, then worrying is meaningless.
