STRESS, WORRIES, AND ANXIETIES

STRESS, WORRIES AND ANXIETIES
Stress, worries and anxieties are undoubtedly major causes of sleeplessness.
So how does one overcome them in order to get a good nights sleep.
Its probably not very practical to get up in the middle of the night and go and see your doctor or psychologist. So what is one to do?.
Well, here is one solution which is very effective if its done correctly. Its also very simple, and that which is simple is usually the most successful.

Its best to do this before you go to bed.
Find a room or space where you will not be disturbed.

Think of a problem or situation which is uppermost in your mind. (maybe your girlfriend/boyfriend has left you. You are about to be sacked by your boss etc)
Write that problem down on a sheet of paper, including the details of who, where, when and what.
That action alone seperates you to a degree from the problem.
Its out there in front of you on paper. Its less passionate now.

Once you are happy you have written it all down, read it back to yourself.
Now write down the possibilities to remedy the situation.
For example, your boss is about to fire you.
1. Tell him to shove his job. 2. Apologise. 3. Ask for a transfer to a different department. 4. Ask him to review the situation 5. Start looking for another job in the morning.
You will start to feel good when you have the answer and can then go back to bed.

If you are uncertain as to which solution, list the advantages and disadvantages of each one you are not sure of.
Returning to the scenario with the boss, if you tell him to 'shove his job.........' then you definitely are fired, but you will feel good, (for a short while)
Apologise. You may not be fired,you still have your job but you will feel bad, (for a short while.)
Sleep well.
