reocurring worries and thoughts
Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2014 4:03 pm
Hello,
I suffer from constantly worrying or worrying about sets of subjects - I'm trying to use mindfulness to overcome them. I tend to get them on days where I'm not really "excited" or looking forward to something - so essentially I see these sets of worries as quite frequent when I'm trying to be mindful.
As I read on twitter once - Mindfulness Man (who posts on here) saying "Some days I just go from addiction to addiction like a maniac" (or something along those lines) - those are the days where I'm not mindfully aware of my patterns of thoughts or worries - I'll just go from one thing to the next excitedly and very rarely "check in" with myself. I suppose this is how people get on with life - trying to avoid negatives - or constantly wanting to look forward to things without appreciating the "now".
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with constant worrying or if noticing the pattern of worrying coming back when trying to be mindful - does this give the worries any validity or are they just me catastrophising over things that aren't perfect in life / aren't every going to be perfect?
Any help would be great!
Cheers,
Garry.
