Like other habits we can easily get over this habit too , but we need to give subtle attention to the way we carry out our thoughts in mind.
10 best ways to deal with our worrying habit
1) Get clarity on what we are exactly worrying about
Most of the worries in our life are undefined in nature . We simply keep on thinking about it but we don't know it thoroughly .Writing down your worries will give you clarity on what exactly is the cause of your worry so you can act on it's action part.
"Worrying means going around in maddening futile circles "
- Writing down precisely what i am worrying about , gives clarity about worry
- Write down what i can do about it
- Decide on what to do about worry
- Start immediately to carry out that decision

If you are ready to take responsibility for what ever worst can happen , then you can easily release your ongoing worrying thoughts . Ask yourself what worst can happen , if you make your mind then you need not to worry about it anymore .
- Ask yourself what worst that can possibly happen
- Prepare to accept it if you have to
- Then calmly proceed to improve on that worst

We have bad habit of always keep on reminding our-self of past mistakes . Don't get trapped in emotional drama of your past mistakes or don't have any regrets for it.
Bygone is bygone, so there is no logic in keep on reminding it , that will only make you worrying.Try to understand that which is already happen you can't do anything about it .
By simply accepting it and moving forward in life , will only release you from the burden of carrying past on shoulders and getting stuck in the past .
4) Don't try to imitate others
We always try to imitate other for their success or achievements . That's main cause of worry for some people . Don't compare your success with others because you are unique in nature .
Let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like , you will get troubled by reminding them .So try to stay away from negative people or things .
Don't expect gratitude from everyone .Most of the people to whom you have helped never value you , so do your service without any expectations .
5) Ways to banish your worry
- Live life with enthusiasm & goal orientated
- Keep Reading interesting books
- Keep yourself physically active i.e. playing game or exercise
- Relax while you work , just avoid rushing
- Change your perspective towards troubles in life
6) Break down the chain of worrying thoughts
Keep thinking about problems beyond a certain point is bound to create worry & confusion.
Never allow your mind to think over worrying thought more than 17 sec.
Immediately divert your attention to another thoughts of positive outcomes & optimism or towards nature .Focus your attention on something else of less harm in nature .
"Life is too short to be little"
Allowing worrying thoughts for more time will create vicious cycle of negative thoughts of future outcomes by the law of attraction of dominant thoughts
7) Don't worry too much over trifles
Almost 99 % of the things we worried about never happens so we unnecessary keep on worrying on small matters , cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will , let's not allow yourself to be upset by small things.
"We need to be concerned about our problems but not worried "
We should be concerned about problem but simply worrying will not resolve problems. Worry over each and every thing means we are inviting demons to our house .
8) Keep yourself busy so you don't have spare time to worry
It is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires attention i.e. exercise ,cycling,swimming ,reading,jogging etc.
" Keep yourself too much busy ,so that you will not have time to worry "
We rarely get tired when we are doing something interesting & exciting .So when you feel overwhelmed with worrying thoughts , immediately leave you zone of thinking and get into action for some physical activities or games .
9) Time is the best solution for most of the worries
Two months from now i shall not be worrying about this bad time , so why worry about it now ? why not assume now the same attitude that i will have two months from now ?
Time solves a lot of problems automatically so let it happen by it's way . Have some patience in life so that all your worries will be vanished after certain period of time .
Worrying person wants his problem must be resolved right now .but remember that we want result without our efforts to solve problems.
10) Share your worries with closed one
We are mostly worried whenever we are alone . When we are alone at that time we keep on repeating worrying thoughts in our mind .
Your social relationships and engagement with family and friend will decide your happiness .So when we have good social engagement then we never feel alone in any situation .
So always share your worry with your friends that will help you in two way :
1) Sharing will some how release your stress
2) That will give you more clarity on your worry by different perspective of others

Be ready to face your worry so you will be released from suffering . Most of the worry is just creation of our thinking mind so we simply fall pray to it .
Keep yourself busy in hobby or physical activities , during these times your mind will get diverted into other activities , so worsening effect due to overthinking will reduce considerably .
