5 Ways to Use Mind Power to Overcome Anxiety and Be Stress Free

1. Break the Loop, Gain Clarity
Have you ever heard an anxious mind? It doesn’t speak … it rambles. And repeats. The thoughts take circular patterns. It’s as if there is a tape being played in our mind which has a replay button on by default. No matter which part we skip or solve, we always come back to it again because that part is not resolved in the tape. Same problems, same thoughts, same worries keep repeating in one form or another. Often making problems appear larger than they are. And increased problems means increased anxiety. The only solution to this is to break the loop to gain clarity.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed with anxiety? Feel constantly tense, have trouble concentrating, are persistently irritable or have a constant fear of something? Do you fear the worst outcome for everything in life? Have some serious self doubts and self confidence issues?

Anxiety can come up in varied forms and for varied reasons. And since it can come up for multiple reasons, we need multiple ways of dealing with it. Often we try one or two methods that we know of and then scratch our heads wondering – How do I deal with anxiety? How do I overcome anxiety?

This is the third and final part of an ongoing series – Find Your Own Sanctuary.
Find Your Own Sanctuary III focusses on finding your sanctuary within. The technique mentioned can be done at any place with whatever time available and is still effective. Think how wonderful it would be if in an increasingly busy and stressful day, you could relax and freshen up within a span of five minutes. And that too without being dependant on anything external to relieve your stress. This technique offers you exactly that. I have experimented and mix-matched a lot of meditation techniques to come up with this one which suits me.

This is Part II of an ongoing series – Find your own sanctuary.

Find your own Sanctuary Part 1 – With Nature focussed on spending time in nature, absorbing the beauty, the stillness, the calmness, the sounds at different times of the day to relax and rejuvenate.

Find your own sanctuary II is all about getting refreshed and re-energized in totally unexpected ways. Unexpected because we have not really seen them as a possible refreshment option. Unexpected because inspite of knowing that they work, we sometimes forget about them and lose out on some simple refreshment options.
