User Post: Today's Meditation - Stop Anxious Thoughts
user

"Free yourself from anxiety by chasing away the
“What-if's?"
"What-if?" So many negative thoughts start with these two
words. "What if I'm late for work?" "What if I
don't lose weight?" "What if I don't go to my
friends for dinner because I'm too tired?" What if…what
if...what...if!
Each anxious thought leads to another anxious thought, and another
- only to feed a negative spiral of worry. Before you know it, your
heart races, it's hard to breathe and there's a knot in
your stomach the size of a pot roast.
Catch yourself! Next time you fall in to the "what-if"
trap, stop it in its tracks. Turn your thinking in a positive
direction. It takes time and consistent practice, but the freedom
from anxiety is well worth the effort.

Seriously good advice. I have been being treated for GAD for almost a year now and simple little things that are hard to control but when I can I feel better. I also try to stop thinking of the day as a whole. I break down my day into 1 or 2 hour sections and make goals for each section in the day. I write down my main goals for every day and it helps!

I agree.In adition to that ,do not be anxious about anything,but in everything by prayer with thanksgiving,present your requests to God.Whatever is true,whatever is noble,whatever is right,whatever is admirable,whatever is lovely,whatever is pure.Think about such things.And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in positive aspects in life.
