Join me on a walk in the Distillery Historical District in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Learn sustainable ways to relieve anxiety.
I see a lot of clients go to PMO as a coping mechanism for relieving anxiety. It does work for a short moment but ultimately, it is an unsustainable strategy.
The key is to deal with anxiety directly—as the root cause of PMO addiction.
And I totally understand if you are feeling anxious. People are simply unprepared physically and psychologically for the amount of pressure the modern world puts on them.
I am not a naturally anxious person. But I had periods in my life when I had it.
One time was after my son Denis was born. My cousin's kid had died a year before, right before his birthday. I was scared that something like that could happen to my own son.
I've been struggling with overthinking recently. I feel it is also related to anxiety.
I might think of all the different details of any task at hand. Even something as simple as riding a bike to a grocery store.
That said, let me share a few ways I've used to relieve anxiety.
Focusing on just one thing
Just like many people, I like focusing on one thing. When I am laser-focused, I forget about any problems that I might have in the future. I feel calmer.
To achieve that focus, I set goals and make plans for achieving them.
Then I take that planning down to a day level. I schedule my day in 30-minute segments. I know exactly what I will be doing and that helps with focus.
I also make sure to minimize distractions. If I have a distracting thought, I write it down. It's like I'm downloading this thought off my mind. My mind stops worrying about it as a result because now it knows that I will get back to that thought later.
I also eliminate distractions from the phone. I turn off notifications and look at the phone as little as possible.
Letting go of control
Anxiety is about trying to control everything including perceptions of yourself in others. I do my best to let go of that control. My goal is to be like a speaker in a club. It just plays music and doesn't care about how anyone reacts to it.
Create an explanation for your fear (I learned this from Daniel Gilbert). Our mind lets go when it has an explanation of the things it wants to worry about. It's best to do this in writing.
