This last weekend was the biggest lesson to me. I went into the weekend so over the top worried about going to some social functions. It gave me so much anxiety that I was afraid that I would have a panic attack. Well low and behold I got through the weekend just fine. Not one of the things that I was worried about happened. It made me look back and reflect that most things that I worry about never end up happening. I now know that I need to work on my worrying. Does anyone have any tips on how to keep calm and not worry?

i get it pixie, it's a big problem for me especially as of the past few months. i used to be a lot more laid back and then a lot went down in my life and its been tough so my worrying has started to spiral out of control to the point that i can't sleep at night. i'm trying hard to mellow out my thoughts and to shift my thinking when i start to worry. sometimes it works and sometimes it's challenging.
Pixie, the only thing that works for me is guided meditation and deep breathing. Guided meditation slows me down and helps me to re-direct my thinking. Once I end the meditation I feel like the worry has melted off and away. I'll be honest, those thoughts do creep back in but the meditation subsides them a lot.
this is one of my biggest problems. i worry about worrying. i worry about things that aren't happening and probably never will. i try to get off the worry train but it's tough. ever since i went through trauma and my anxiety got really bad my worrying is awful. i would love to go back to who i was...worry free. where life is light.
