One of the things that sets generalized anxiety disorder, and depression or other emotional problems is that it seems that it is more difficult to just "get your mind out of it". You can change gear, you can get your mind on something else, it can distract you and yourself can be occupied, but anxiety symptoms haunt you wherever you are, no matter what you do. Without a doubt, sometimes it is worse than at other times, but when anxiety attacks to spin out of control, it seems as if it is not what you can do only make them disappear.
The majority of people have of generalized anxiety disorder have a persistent habit of concern. And people always tell them, why not let worry? As if it were only so easy. As if you can simply "turn the switch concern." So what it is exactly the concern, how developed and why some people have a difficult time stop him? The answer is simple, but is not always so easy. The reason for this is that the concern is a habit. The best way to find relief for their concern and anxiety is to understand the mechanisms of this habit.
When he is concerned, are anticipating to some event in the future to happen that it will have negative (at best) and catastrophic (in the worst case) consequences. Often, this pattern of thought learned the modeling of a significant mentor. But it can also be developed as a result of negative experiences, fears or traumatic past. Sometimes we develop the habit "expect the worst," so that are not allowed to download again. We believe that this is somehow getting, kind of like we are parts of only us, waiting for the next storm or crisis.
Eventually, we develop pathways in the brain that become stronger and with these routes we have created "filters", which does not has been observed the good. For example, we are in a classroom full and Professor calls us and we have to answer a question of 30 others. Suppose that we are talking about and 29 of the 30 people in this room of agreement nod and smile to us. But wait - there is a person there in the left side of the room (think) saw roll their eyes at us and look away with his nose in the air.
Suddenly, this "vision" comes to the forefront of our mind and stays with us for the rest of the day and night or more. Nothing, it becomes "all that we can think". Then begins to talk about the negative, "this person thinks what I said was stupid." "I should have kept my mouth stop." We know the following, this is going on as well as recordings of the tape head that are really.
It is easy to see in this case the self-esteem play an important factor in situations like this. A person with a lot of confidence would be around in, "I wonder what's wrong with the person," and forget about two minutes later and continue their merry way, without worries. Awareness of what is happening to that here is the first step. If you suffer from generalized anxiety and concern the notice when you place the focus in the a "worst" and decide to look at the (wonderful and fantastic) 29 others in the room.
