One of the most common problems faced by mothers
today is their inability to stop worrying. It’s just a natural thing for
mothers to do. We know that our children our young and don’t realize all of the
dangers within the world, so we worry. Not only do we worry about our children,
but we also worry about our relationships with others, our jobs, our finances
and many more things. For some reason, women seem to be more susceptible to
excessive worrying. However, as mothers, we need to realize that while we’re
worrying about all of the dangers surrounding our children and our lives
excessive worrying is a danger in itself.
There are many health problems that can arise when
we allow ourselves to worry too much. Now, please understand that worrying is a
normal thing for people to do, especially mothers, it’s the excessive worrying that we need to
control. Excessive worrying is when you find yourself worrying about something
practically all day, every day. This is the worrying that can cause health
problems. The health problems that can arise from excessive worrying include:
·
Anxiety Attacks

Digestive Disorders

Physical Illness

High Blood Pressure

Muscle Tension

The list above is a short list of the health
problems that can be caused by excessive worrying. As good mothers, the thing
we want most is to be in good health so we can always be here for our children.
Therefore, it’s important that we learn how to manage our worry. Below are a few
things that can help you manage worry.
Eat
Right: It’s important to realize that when you’re
excessively worrying about something, you’re most likely not eating right.
Therefore, concentrate on eating a healthy, balanced diet. Make sure you are
eating enough throughout the day, but also make sure you aren’t overdoing it
either. Eating right is important when trying to control your worrying because
when you’re focused on eating right, you’re not focusing on the things you’re
usually worrying about. It’s also important for your physical health.
Exercise
Daily: Exercising has a way of making us feel better. When
you exercise every day, you will be giving your mind a break from the worries
that have been plaguing it. You will also be releasing chemicals within your
body that work to improve your immune system.
Meditate:
Meditation
has been around for centuries and is well-known for its therapeutic powers. In
order to meditate correctly, you must be in a quiet place and be still. You
must clear your mind and concentrate on nothing but the present. This means
that you must not allow your mind to think about anything that may happen in
the future or has happened in the past. Meditating daily has been proven
effective in helping manage worry and stress.
Relax:
Make
time to relax every day. Even if you can only find 20 minutes, it will help
reduce your worrying tremendously. Methods for relaxing is different for
everyone, you may be able to relax by reading a book, watching television,
soaking in the bathtub or gardening. The key is that you take the time to do
whatever it is that relaxes you every day.
Get
Counseling: If you struggle with excessive
counseling and can’t control it on your own, then you need to find a therapist.
Just having someone to talk to about your excessive worrying will help. Don’t
be afraid to seek help if you need it, because excessive worrying is dangerous
for your health.
