People with anxiety issues are known as the “worry warts” of society. It often seems like they focus on superficial aspects of their life...things that most people wouldn't care to worry about. They may worry about their kids, their appearance, what their neighbors think of them, or what their co-workers may say behind their backs.

It seems like most people worry about things that have foundation in reality. They may worry about not getting a promotion at work, while the worry wart will worry about getting fired or demoted when they haven't done anything to deserve getting fired or demoted.

Most people worry about their children getting good grades, getting into the right schools after graduation, marrying a significant other the parent can tolerate..etc. Worry warts worry their child will get kidnapped at the bus stop, even if they know they live in the safest neighborhood in the county. They will worry their kids will abuse drugs, even if their kids have shown no signs of going that route.

Most people generally do not worry about their health if all signs point to being healthy. Worry warts may become hypochondriacs and constantly stress about their health. They believe the slightest pain or symptom is without a doubt pointing at some terrible illness, usually one that is terminal. The worry wart then begins to dread and actively seek more symptoms to prove to themselves that this newly discovered disease is real. Then when their doctors tell them nothing is wrong, the worry wart will believe something in the testing procedure went bad. They will believe they are still sick and opt for a second opinion.

How not to worry:

What the worry wart must realize is that oftentimes their inappropriate and exaggerated beliefs severely cut into their quality of life. They have to come to an understanding and assurance that all is okay. They must understand that appreciating what you have in life is more important than the time wasted through worry. They must realize thathow to appreciate what you havegoes hand in hand withhow not to worry. In other words if one desperately wanted to knowhow not to worry, they must look around their lives and learn tolove and appreciatewhat is being thrown at them from life. I guarantee the fastest escape from worry is appreciation. It changes focus from bad to good.

This is a conclusion that I had come to after years of being a worry wart . This is pretty much “top secret” information that no one talks about. Most of the literature on worry is done by psychologists who never had an anxiety issue. The research was done on people who worry, yet they themselves have no clue what it is like. I was in constant dread and anxiety. The concept of appreciation is something I got from reading the best method for curing anxiety and panic attacks . These are methods that the top academics are pretty much clueless about.
