Worrying is an all-in-all bad deal, but it is difficult to stop ourselves using sheer willpower.
Certain approaches can help:
- Acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT) focuses on accepting the worry and not getting consumed by it.
- Mindfulness builds a positive force inside our mind and keeps us emotionally strong.
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT) tries to change our worry and how it affects us using logic and evidence to counter its claims.
- Steady breathing or progressive muscle relaxation helps in putting the body at ease and reduces the grip of worry on the mind.
