Overcoming Anxiety Disorders To Be Happy And Calm
These days, when pressure tries to knock you down in relationships, work, money etc, it is indispensable to remain calm and happy, keeping anxiety at bay.
A
book
by
psychologist
Mark
Reinecke"s,
'Little
Ways
to
Keep
Calm
and
Carry
On:
Twenty
Lessons
for
Managing
Worry,
Anxiety
and
Fear,"helps
understand
latest
psychological
research
and
cognitive
behavioural
therapy
with
the
view
to
reduce
anxiety
and
lead
a
happier
life,
sans
stress
and
fret.
"We
live
in
an
age
of
anxiety,
whether
it''s
economic
worries
or
potential
terrorist
threats,
or
how
you
are
going
to
care
for
your
aging
mother," said
Reinecke.
“There are a whole range of things that come at us as a society that make us feel more anxious than at any time in our recent history," he added.
One chapter in his book discusses the realistic assessment of whether a bad thing will happen.
"You should prepare for the most likely scenario, not the worst case, because it is statistically very unlikely," advised Reinecke.
"You should ask what is the probability of a bad event happening, how will you cope, are you able to protect yourself?"
The author uses 'whitewater rafting' as a metaphor for effective coping.
"When
you
are
thrown
from
the
boat,
you
cover
your
head,
protect
what''s
important
and
go
with
the
flow.
You
let
the
current
take
you
to
a
calm
eddy
on
the
side
of
the
river,"
Reinecke
said.
He
simply
points
out
the
the
tendency
in
us
to
anticipate
the
possibility
of
the
occurrence
of
bad
things
and
our
ability
to
cope.
Reinecke further categories worry as productive and unproductive; how to handle with recurring train of negative thoughts (which he likens to the flying monkeys in “The Wizard of Oz"), how to deal with anxiety, accepting an uncertain future, changing dysfunctional thoughts and strategies to relax. All of these skills can be learned, he noted.
"You
don''t
want
to
avoid
the
things
you
fear;
you
want
to
think
about
how
to
effectively
manage
them.
"The
more
you
effectively
cope
with
a
situation,
the
more
confidence
you
have.
Then,
when
a
threat
arises
in
the
future,
you
know
you
can
manage
it," he
said.
"No
matter
the
problem
life
brings
us,
we
know
we
can
manage
and
cope."
A
helpful
aid
to
overcome
anxiety
disorder
to
be
happy
and
calm.
