• Focus on here and now let worry slip away, stop them taking over
• Avoid distractions as its opposite affects calming down the mind

• ‘Mind imagines things so thought become facts

Expert’s three steps to stop worrying for good: Recognise brooding thoughts are a waste of time, focus on present, avoid distractions. Can all help people to take control of apprehensions, according to Professor Hans Nordahl of department of behavioural medicine at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. He said:  people confuse brooding with problem solving, analysis or review, the content tends to be self-critical and self-focused linked to negative experiences in life. ‘Illustrate it by holding a glass of water in hand. Most people say its easy to do but if holds glass continuously for 2 hours gets heavy. ‘It works the same way with brooding and worries. They aren’t necessarily heavy short-lived but gets heavy if lasts long time. Recognise that brooding thoughts waste of time and energy and not problem-solving.

3 STEPS TO STOP WORRYING

According to Professor Hans Nordahl from the department of behavioural medicine at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, people can take control of their worries by:

• Recognising thoughts waste time – Going over things repeatedly is not problem-solving
• Focus on here and now involved in real-life situations allows negative thoughts to disappear on their own.
• Stop seeking distractions – These have opposite effect on calming mind as people rely on external things to find relief. Recognise it is a waste of time.  

Firstly, recognise worrying is a waste of time and energy. Professor Nordahl said ‘Reduce brooding mental activity realize brooding is meaningless useless activity. doesn’t help anything has no calming or problem-solving effect.’ People confuse worrying with problem solving but it is negative repetitive thinking of negative experiences reinforces problems. Once you recognise worrying, ask yourself if it has any purpose or if there is even an answer to question you are considering. Focus on the ‘here and now’ in a spatial moment enjoy your life no matter how humble. Focus on situation currently in. Professor Nordahl said: ‘Get involved in more real-life things happening in your life. ‘Focus on here and now illusions of  worry and brooding won’t take hold as much. ‘Thoughts continue to churn, but let them be there and live your own life. ‘Anything not given attention gradually disappear on its own. Focus on present helps stop overwhelming apprehensive thoughts to disappear on their own.Stress makes people see sense of danger in harmless situations research reveals earlier this month. Humans are thought to have learned to identify dangerous scenarios for self-defense, however, certain circumstances can cause people to misidentify such cues. Researchers found people respond with fear when their stress levels are high. Suzannah Creech associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Texas, who was not involved in study, said: ‘These findings provide important laboratory data that helps explain why PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] symptoms exacerbated during times of stress, and the repeated stress and trauma in the battlefield may lead to increased risk for PTSD.’ Experts believe the findings could aid PTSD treatment. Distractions do not work so avoid distractions as it has the opposite effect on calming the mind. Professor Nordahl said: ‘Turning focus away from your thoughts does not mean trying to escape or distract yourself from them. ‘Many people use television, gambling, computer games or drugs to control or suppress the brooding. ‘Distracting self to calm down does not work well in the long run relying on people or external things to get calm. ‘Trying not to think of negative thoughts creates recoil effect because the brain keeps track of what you shouldn’t think, about the thoughts you’re trying to avoid.’ Mind is capable of imagining things’ Professor Nordahl said some people confuse brooding with problem solving, analysis or review, but content self-critical self-focused linked to negative experiences in life. Illustrate holding a glass of water in hand people say its easy to do hold glass two hours gets heavy. ‘It works the same way with brooding  worries not heavy short-lived, gets heavy lasting long time. ‘People are equipped to develop anxiety and worry, because minds are capable of imagining things thoughts become facts. Humans over analyse themselves and anticipate threatening scenarios not constructive ways has negative or unhelpful effects.’ Life coach Sarah Alexander says steps to low stress is routine practice of focus in here and now, eat and sleep well.
