KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Recognising what triggers your anxiety – The first step to beating anxiety is to recognise the triggers. You can identify the causes of your anxiety, whether business-related or personal. by keeping a ‘Feelings Diary’.
- What are you feeling or thinking when you’re anxious? – Often, the circumstances that lead to anxiety can trigger deeper feelings related to past traumas. It’s important to recognise when this is happening, because it may lead to the root cause of our anxiety.
- Challenge that negative thinking – If you’re constantly telling yourself about worst-case scenarios then it will eventually feed into your entire outlook, impacting your self-belief. Reinforce yourself with positive thoughts. There are no problems in life, only challenges. How will you overcome your challenges?
- Practice your fear - By exposing ourselves to our fears more often, we can prove to ourselves that there’s really nothing to be afraid of.
- Be willing to become anxious in order to overcome it - By exposing yourself to anxiety often, by repetition, you will start to overcome that anxiety. You need to be willing to surmount obstacles in order to make the very act of surmounting them easier.
- Accept imperfections and uncertainty - It’s okay to not be the best at something. It’s okay to be imperfect from time to time. Making peace with your imperfections will lead to a more peaceful state of mind. In order to build and grow in business and in your personal life, you need to accept that life happens. No one is perfect.
- Find an area or interest that you feel keeps you grounded - Find something you resonate with, and that can keep you grounded. Physical exercise or meditation helps to mitigate anxiety and can be a great stress reliever.
