Tell Me Something That Has Made You Feel Better

[Angelx]

One of my favorite things I heard one time about anxiety is that the things we are afraid of are just stories we’ve written inside our minds, and that they don’t exist outside of our heads. It made me feel so much better. All of the horrible things I’ve imagined about my future dissipated when I realized they aren’t real. I still get anxiety all the time over millions of things, but I like to hold onto that concept.
What’s something that has made you feel better?

Will Rogers (look him up if you’ve not heard of him, you young one...) said when he was older “90% of the things I’ve worried about in my life never happened, and the other 10% weren’t nearly as bad as I imagined they would be”.

Advice that has made me feel better when it comes to anxiety is that if I'm fearful of something happening, what are the chances that it will happen, and if it does happen, would it really be so awful?

Telling myself this doesn't always calm me. But it often does.

Sit where you feel comfortable, and invite the fear to come. It either never does, or it’s very minimal. An anxious mind doesn’t use logic. It uses doubt, and then our mind processes that doubt. Whether you’re a Christian, or whatever faith... the devil is a liar, and uses lies and doubt to make us second guess everything about who we are, what we think, what we do, etc.
Anxiety is one thing.... a lie. It’s a trick. The idea is to constantly focus on that. After a while, your mind, body, and spirit will accept it, and you’ll be able to use more reason.

Well said Guitarist41. He is a liar and the father of lies.

The best thing I’ve found to help me feel better is listening to positive affirmations on YouTube for anxiety. Try it

Reading the bible and
Thinking about now not tomorrow.
Also watching movies I like.

Interesting view.
This forum makes me relaxed, planning travel makes me happy. Bbq and beer gathering too.

Watch a REALLY stupid movie, it makes you really forget about everything and wonder how the hell someone came up with it.

Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, is a really stupid movie that really does help me forget about everything that's bothering me if I'm having a bad day.

Seriously.

Iz, ever get a cystoscope down your you know what? That was the most painful experience I ever had, and scary with all the blood, and the pain afterwards lasted 2 weeks for me. I will never go through that again, at least not conscious.

The scary movie series, like the parody’s of various other ones.

However, no, scary movies don’t scare me... mostly I laugh at them.

No not yet I pushed for one to be done when I had issues with that but they found out it was my prostate.
Worse pain ever would have to be my wisdom tooth broke and roots were exposed for months didn't have insurance.
