Wondering what to do when you worry too much? Here a couple of proven methods and strategies to help you overcome worrying.

Be Present, Be Mindful

Be here, in the present. Be aware of your immediate surroundings. Listen to the sounds around you right now, see the colors and shapes of your environment, take a deep breathe and smell something you didn’t notice before, feel the texture of a wall in the room you’re currently in. Just dedicate a few moments of awareness to being present.

Hypnosis Against Worrying

Because when you are truly present, you can’t worry.

Worry is something that is about the future. You worry about something that might happen, something that might affect you. That’s all future, and nobody knows the future.

This isn’t a “cure for worrying”, but it’s a simple trick you can use to sometimes get out of a worry-state.

Stop Worst-Casing

People who worry often tend to imagine things going totally wrong. When they imagine something, they almost compulsively imagine the worst case, and then indulge in that imagination.

Every piece of information they get, they process by thinking: what’s the worst thing this could mean to me?

So when somebody asks: “How come it smells funny here?”, they might assume that someone might think they are the one smelling funny, and how that will negatively impact their social standing and career, and they will die alone and poor.

Seems exaggerated? Yep. But you’d be surprised how many chronic worriers think along lines like these.

Write Your Worries Off

Trying to suppress your worries doesn’t work. In fact, it can worsen your worries, because you’ll need to constantly try to use force against your worrying thoughts.

So what you can do instead is to take all the worries in your head, and write them down on paper.

This is based on what psychologists call expressive writing, and it can help you to get rid of thoughts than come haunting you repeatedly.

The important thing when you ask a question like: What to do when you worry too much? Is that you actually do the things and give them a try, rather than just reading about them.

Plus, when you write down all the worries that circle around in your head, you’ll actually get a clear picture of what you’re dealing with. Whereas, if you just keep them in your head, what often happens is that they move around like a carroussel and can seem more overwhelming than it really is, because your mind can jump for hours and hours from one worry to the next, repeating the same kind of worry again and again. But when you write it all down, chances are that after a couple of pages, you’ll discover: ‘uhm, I don’t know what else I can write about. It’s all on paper here.’ You can even start an almost comical attempt to come up with more worries and struggle to worry about more things.

Hypnotize Your Worries Away

Hypnosis can be incredibly effective when it comes to diminishing worries. And this is not just a random claim – researchers from the prestigous Yale University proved this. They found that hypnosis helped patients to reduce presurgery anxiety by 68%.

Want to know how to deal with worrying too much? Here some thoughts on that, although we’ve already mentioned that one way of dealing with worries is to have a dedicated worry time every day.

Worrying has plenty of negative effects on your body and mind, and it even makes you age prematurely and can cause a loss of concentration.

But why is it that we are worrying too much in the first place?

Why We Worry

Turns out there are actually some benefits to worrying, and despite what it might look like on the surface, the main reason is emotional.

Because when we worry about something, we feel less anxious.

This is of course an illusion, but research has shown that it’s a very persistent illusion.

Whenever we worry, there is a reason why we worry, something is making us anxious. When we worry, we feel like we’re dealing with the cause of our anxiety, and that gives us the false illusion of actually doing something about it, getting closer to a solution to the problem that’s causing the anxiety.

Why is this a false sense of comfort?

Because worrying is essentially dwelling on a problem. Dwelling on it is very different from fixing it.

So how to deal with worrying too much?

When you worry, ask yourself: what can I do about it?

That’s how you can begin to transform a worry into a solution.

In the first phase of coming up with an answer to the question what you can do about it, don’t limit yourself. You basically want to get the creative part of your brain flowing.

Later on, you go through the process of evaluating the ideas you came up with and select which one will be the best course of action.

What else can help you to deal with worrying too much?

Emotional Awareness

One of the things that worrying does for you is that it shields you from anxious feelings.

Repeat: Worrying protects you from unpleasant feelings.

Even though worrying doesn’t make you feel good, it at least numbs down negative emotions.

Now when you stop worrying, what you do is that you experience all these unpleasant feelings worrying has shielded you from. And that can be frightening and unpleasant in itself.

But you just need to walk through this.

Recognize that whatever you feel, it’s ok. It’s part of being human. If you try to suppress these thoughts, you won’t be able to experience everything that life has to offer. It’s like a painter who limits itself to using only blue color tones to paint a picture. Sure, there are beautiful mono-color paintings out there, but you’re a human being, not a canvas, and you’ve got a full color spectrum of emotions available to enrich your life.

Is there another way how to deal with worrying too much? You bet!

Fatalistic Thinking?

People who worry excessively tend also to think in terms of black and white, all or nothing. If they are working on a project, and something early on goes wrong, they conclude: I’ll never be able to do this!

Instead, think about failures simply as obstacles to overcome on the way to figuring it out. If something went wrong early on, think: “What can I learn from this? How do I make this work?”

Change Your Mind

Now this might seem outrageous at first to many, but if you are really serious about overcoming your worry habits, you can use hypnosis to stop worrying.

A powerful quote by Thomas Edison on success.

Opportunity is missed by people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

If you want to become more successful, realize that it starts in your mind.

These success hypnosis downloads can help you to become more successful, spot opportunities and do the work (in a smart way) to get to where you want to be.

This is one of my favorite quotes by Benjamin Franklin:

Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.

(I love it so much that it’s worth writing so big.)

There is really much truth to this, and it even makes logical sense (which is not always the case with true and wise words).

However, it is also infinitely difficult to practice.

If I were an ideal human being, I’d probably be able to do this – to love my enemies, because they tell me my faults. Instead, I get upset and angry at them, and sometimes hate them. There’s still a lot to learn.

But here’s the thing:

as soon as you plan this idea in your mind, see that it makes sense and decide that you want to practice it, some part of your subconscious mind starts to work on it.

Now it might work to it veeery slow, slow like tectonic movements of the earth’s crusts. Or your subconscious mind might work on it at high-speed, fast-forwarding the process of personal growth.

Much of this depends on how focused your mind is on this. Because the energy you expend doesn’t actually change. It’s just that if unfocused, you spend your energy on myriad different things that sometimes work in opposing directions, and not much is happening, it’s just a big hodgepodge.

If you focus this energy however, it suddenly becomes very targeted, effective and powerful, and much can be accomplished in a very short time.

That’s really what makes self hypnosis so fundamentally powerful – because it directs and focuses your attention in ways that would usually require disciplined meditative practice for many, many years.

It’s your enemies who can teach you more about yourself than anyone else, because they often rub them in your face. What’s more, many times the faults you find in them are your own faults and weaknesses which you refuse to acknowledge. And in that regard, enemies can often open up your eyes to psychological blind spots.

Love your enemies for the lessons they teach you. Love them for the training they impose on yourself. Love your enemies for the deep tutoring friends won’t provide you with, because they care too much about their relationship to you. Love them because they are the greatest opportunity for skillful practice. Love your adversaries because they demonstrate to you what can’t be explained.

It’s not easy, but it’s worth the struggle. It’ll make you a wiser, nobler, more mature human being. And when you try to love your enemies, you will often be your own worst enemy in that endeavor.

These self hypnosis downloads for emotional intelligence can help you to do that. They help to bridge that gap between your rational mind and your emotional being. That divide between what you think you should do and what you actually do – with hypnotic suggestions, it becomes a lot easier to bring these two closer together and harmonize these seemingly opposing forces together in the direction you really want to bring them.

If you feel you need motivation and inspiration to get something done, then there’s something from Chuck Close that you might want to read. It’s not the most inspiring thing in the world, but it is something that might help you to get stuff done.

Inspiration is for amateurs — the rest of us just show up and get to work. And the belief that things will grow out of the activity itself and that you will — through work — bump into other possibilities and kick open other doors that you would never have dreamt of if you were just sitting around looking for a great ‘art idea.’ And the belief in that process, in a sense, is liberating and that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel every day.

 – Chuck Close

Now if that doesn’t work, you can always grab one of these inspirational + motivational hypnosis downloads.

If you’re an entrepreneur, you already know one thing: It’s hard. Harder than you thought it would be. And that’s why most people never do it. It takes more guts, more sweat, more blood, more tears, more strength out of you than just going for a normal job. Yes, the payoffs, the satisfaction, the price is worth it – but getting there can be soul-crushing. And it’s important to reach deep into your soul sometime and pull out the last bit of willpower and desire. But it’s also important to recharge your fountain of desire – and that’s what these inspirational hypnosis downloads for entrepreneurs can do for you.

It’s also good to read about the success stories of other entrepreneurs, who’ve already crossed the desert you’re suffering in right now.

How about a guy who at the age of 36 has not amounted to more than being a toothpaste salesman? Does that make for an inspiring story? Not really, right. I personally haven’t met anyone who ever dreamed of becoming a toothpaste salesman. But what if that guy, at age 36, stumbled over an idea that would later turn him into a multi-billionaire? What if that guy at age 36 had founded a brand that’s now known all over the world?

Well, that’s the story of Dietrich Mateschitz, founder of the Red Bull energy drink company. You can read the whole story here.

And if you ever get to a point where you feel you’re running out of fuel, then check out these inspirational hypnosis downloads for entrepreneurs.

Do you worry too much? Worries are essentially pessimistic thoughts, and when you harbor pessimistic thoughts for long enough, your brain will probably work hard at making them come true. What’s more, even when good things happen to you while you have pessimistic thoughts, you won’t be able to take joy in these good things because your negative thoughts are eating away at the joy.

Hypnosis To Stop Worrying?

The worst thing is when you worry about worrying. That’s like supplying an addict with a limitless supply of drugs.

Is It Difficult To Stop Worrying?

You bet it is. In fact, many people who try find that stopping cold is not so easy. Maybe you find it is too hard to completely stop worrying.

And if that’s the case, then simply do this:

don’t stop worrying. But don’t worry too much either.

You put a limit on your worries. Now you can worry as much as you like, but you do so within a certain timeframe. For example, every day, you can set aside 10 or 20 minutes just for worrying. And during these 10 or 20 minutes every day, you do nothing but worry.

But for the remaining 23 hours and 40 minutes of your day, you don’t allow yourself to worry. Whenever a worrying thought enters your consciousness, you simply say: “Stop! I’ll save that for later!”

If you’re concerned that you’ll forget about this worry, you can write it down on a piece of paper that you’ll later pull out when it’s worry time, just to be sure.

This way, you’ll teach your mind that you can control your worries, whil still getting all the benefits that worrying might have for you on some level.

Hypnosis To Stop Worrying?

Worrying will cause a constant anxiety level and chronic stress. You’re not as mentally sharp as you could be. Worries can make you lose sleep, and sleep is one of those basic building blocks of long-term health and happiness that you don’t want to compromise.

And when you try to fight your worries, what often happens is that they actually become stronger. Because of all the energy and thoughtyou invest into fighting and resisting your worries, it actually fuels them and makes them bigger, gives them more emotional power over you.

That’s why an approach like “scheduling” your worries can work.

Another way to avoid fueling your worries is by using hypnosis. Because what hypnosis does is that it directs your attention away from worries and to more positive things.

If you look at worries from a micro level, they are really a multi-phase process.

First, there is something that triggers a worrying thought.

Then you engage in that worrying thought, elaborate on it, make it bigger.

And finally at some point something happens that distracts your inds attention away from the worry, at least for a while. Maybe it’ll be another worrying thought, but in the end that initial worry isn’t there anymore, at least for now – it might lingere somewhere and show up again at some oint, but for some time it’s gone.

Now what hypnosis does is that it can rewire the triggers. So that at first, when something that used to cause you worrying thoughts, will now lead to more productive mental strategies.

And it can also help you to distract your mind faster from the worry and to more helpful mental strategies. So it’s really a two-fold approach, and you can (and probably have every good reason to) try it out yourself.

Hypnosis To Stop Worrying?

Whatever it is that you are pursuing, good ideas can help you to get there faster.

If you’re in business and you want to grow a company, then a great marketing or product development idea can help you get there faster.

If you are an artist and you want to inspire people, stir them up on an emotional level, a great idea can help you achieve that.

If you are looking for a partner to share your life with, a great idea on where to find this person, and how to initiate a relationship can help you even with that.

And one of the best scenarios for good ideas is a very simple activity: talk.

Talk with others about your goal and how to achieve it. Will Dennis recently wrote about this, and how it helped the Hollerback team to come up with great ideas. Switch of the computer, put your phone on silent and engage in an distraction-free discussion.

But sometimes brilliant minds are weak communicators, and then their talent can’t contribute to this idea creation process. Fortunately, no matter where you are, you can always learn to be a better communicator.

And if you’re really serious about it, you can even use hypnosis to improve your communication skills naturally.

Antidepressants can create dependencies that are hard to get rid of. And for long-term users, there often is a growing spectrum of negative side effects the longer they take antidepressants. So getting off antidepressants is great – but are you prepared to deal with the changes this will cause in your brain chemistry? Antidepressant withdrawal hypnosis can help you to use the natural powers of your mind to cope with withdrawal symptoms of psychiatric drugs.

More than 20% of Americans now regularly take mind-altering drugs prescribed by their doctors, according to a recent article in the New Yorker. Want to know how much American’s spend in 2010 on psychiatric drugs? More than 70 billion dollars.

But despite what pharmaceutical corporations want to make us believe, scientists don’t have a proper understanding of why psychiatric drugs like antidepressants work, or not. They like to say that mental illness is a result of chemical imbalances in the brain – but this is a very superficial way of explaining things that doesn’t really hold up to scientific or medical rigor.

Depression = Dopamine & Norepinephrine Imbalance?

When it comes to depression, the explanation given is that there’s an imbalance between dopamine and norepinephrine.

It was the psychiatrist Joseph Schildkraut who first publicized this theory in 1965, and his paper became one of the most cited articles in medical literature.

His theory however, was wrong. Just a couple of years later, technology enabled scientists to gain a better understanding of how antidepressants affect brain chemistry, and found that it wasn’t about dopamine & norepinephrine, but instead about…

Serotonin Imbalance?

So there was the new “scientific” explanation for antidepressants. What this explanation failed to reveal was that antidepressants can’t target a specific chemical imbalance in the brain. They’re not like snipers that have a specific target, but rather like shotguns who blast big rounds around and hit all kinds of targets.

Again, pharmaceutical companies not only failed to reveal this, but instead spend a considerable amount of effort and money into propagating the idea that they could.

They also tried to bury scientific research which showed that S.S.R.I.’s don’t work any better than placebos in clinical trials with depressive people.

Yet, no solid new scientific model to explain mental disease and mood disorders has emerged. Thus, the medical community acts as if the “latest” (even though already disproven) theory, is valid. That’s why doctors still tell their patients that chemical imbalances are the cause of their depression.

It’s time to realize that your not the slave of your brain chemistry, but that you instead can wield a lot of power over what happens with your thoughts and feelings.

This powerful hypnotic audio session can help you to better cope with antidepressant withdrawal symptoms using guided imagination. The deep states of comfortable relaxation will help you to tap into the power of your subconscious mind, and instinctively make the choices that foster your psychological and physiological well-being.

Jealousy can poison any relationship. Some people have always been jealous, others become jealous at some point in a relationship. And it’s like a virus in the mind. It gets out of control, and there’s little you can do about it. It’s like an instinct. And that’s why hypnosis for jealousy is so effective.

A mistrustful behavior can destroy any relationship. If you’re possessive towards your partner and always questioning their loyalty and truthfulness.

If you’re always plagued by suspicions about your partner cheating on you, there’s no space for romance unfolding between the two of you. Trust is an important ingredient of love.

One of the fundamental problems with jealousy is what happens in your head: you imagine your partner being intimate with others, cheating you. Often many of these thoughts happen on a subconscious level. And they can make you possessive and mistrustful. That’s the green-eyed monster in your mind.

It’s normal to be protective about your relationship. After all, it’s something that is precious and valuable. Of course you want to guard that.

But being constantly suspicious is eroding the quality of your relationship. It eats away at the joy and the fun. It makes the intimate interactions between you and your partner heavy. Like a cloud that’s always over your head. Your partner will always worry that something he or she says or does will make you question him or her, will awaken your suspicions.

Hypnosis For Jealousy Download

And one of the reasons why it’s so hard to get rid of jealousy is because it’s so instinctive. You get a hunch, a gut-feeling that your partner isn’t being honest with you.

And we all trust our instincts. They are messengers of our subconscious mind, and they often pick up subtle signals that we don’t pay conscious attention to. Instincts are important, and learning to trust and listen to your instincts can help you to make better decisions in life.

But sometimes your instincts play tricks on you. And with jealousy, that’s the case. That’s why hypnosis for jealousy is so effective to help you overcome jealousy.

Hypnotic suggestions help you to relax, and get into a state of quiet, calm confidence. You’ll be able to narrow your focus of attention and tell your subconscious mind to pay attention to reality, and respond differently to situations. Rather than interpreting everything in the worst possible way, you’ll be able to keep an open mind and be rational about evaluating different situations and things your partner said.

Listening to this hypnosis download can help you get back in control of your imagination. You don’t need to torture yourself with jealous fantasies. You don’t need to struggle with doubts anymore. You don’t need to question the integrity of your partner anymore.

That doesn’t mean that you’ll be naive or that you’ll believe everything your partner tells you. It’s important to be able to distinguish truth and lies. Instead, you’ll be able to see things for what they are. No unnecessary doubts, and no naivety.
