Thinking abt future in a negative way can leads u to anxiety. U might have innner dialogues regarding ur future in a certain way that perceiving, situations, experiences occured in ur life , neighbours, society.

Hello, thank you for reaching out, anxiety= fear of future and whatever is going to happen that's the worst thing that will happen. We also say to ourself i wont be able to deal with it. That's how our anxiety rises. What you need to look for is which thoughts are leading to anxiety? Thoughts related to health wealth or personal life and these might be chain of thoughts which are uncontrollable. Better ask for professional help if it's going out of your handa

You need to connect with a psychologist to work on your anxiety.

I understand your predicament and would like to make a few suggestions that might help you. I want you to know that with awareness of how the mind works and how thoughts are generated, you will get better at dealing with them. The nature of the Mind, which in simple terms we experience as thoughts, is such that, it will keep shifting its focus from one object/topic/event to another. Ii always needs something to hold on to. Another important characteristic of the Mind is this - You will either have thoughts about the past or the future. This will keep alternating. Try thinking about the present moment - you will see that the Mind and 'Now' can never coexist. The Mind has 3 states in general. Sometimes, you may find yourself having very positive, inspiring thoughts. During other times, you may find yourself very emotional, or all charged for action. Whereas during other times, you may feel very lethargic, dull or lazy. These states will keep alternating. Having understood the nature of the mind, the first step towards mental health is to become aware of your thoughts. Learning to be an observer of your thoughts, learning to observe them from a distance like clouds passing in the sky. The next step is knowing that you have the power to choose which thought you wish to focus on and act on and exercising that power. With practice, you will have better mastery over this process. Having anxious thoughts about anything and everything is something that plagues everybody from time to time. Trust me, even if everything was perfect, you will still find some shortcomings somewhere and brood about it. Tension or anxiety is a physiological response which is inherently part of being human. It is normal to have such thoughts about any situation. As mentioned above, with practice, you will learn to focus and entertain only those thoughts are healthy enough to be acted upon. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, just bring your focus back to your breath and take a few relaxing breaths. You will automatically be able to focus on the task at hand and do what is required. Whatever you feed your mind through your sense organs will be replayed to you as thoughts. Be conscious of this. Here is a breathing exercise that will help you relax better - inhale to a count of four - hold your breath for a count of eight - exhale to a count of eight. Repeat this ten times. Gently massaging the back of your neck and the base of your skull will also help you relax better. Whenever you experience such physical sensations and the thoughts that accompany them, practice being an observer without judging or labeling them. Know that it is like a wave that will ebb away within a few minutes. As you repeatedly do this, their impact and frequency will keep reducing. Have faith in yourself. You are capable of dealing with this. Take care.

Grounding techniques. One type of grounding technique involves clenching body parts and slowly releasing them. Focus entirely on these sensations. Mindful distractions. Find something to distract your mind from panicking to help you calm down. Try describing things around you to keep your focus on something else. What color is your couch? What is its texture? Talk to yourself. Now that you know these symptoms are a part of your body’s automatic response, remind yourself this. In the moment of panic or anxiety, tell yourself “I can’t breathe because my body is trying to get more oxygen” or “I’ve been evaluated and my heart is fine.” Talking to yourself rationally can pull you out of the anxiety. Exercise. It may seem strange to exercise in the midst of an anxiety attack, but going for a quick run or expending some of that built-up energy may actually work for you. Your body is preparing itself to run anyway — you might as well take advantage of it. Self-care. You can practice self-care in simple ways. Drink herbal tea (but avoid caffeinated tea, as it can increase anxiety). Light candles with a pleasant aroma. Write down your feelings. Turn on some soothing music. Shock yourself. Shocking your system by dipping your face in a bowl of ice water is actually a technique recommended by therapists to help pull you out of a thought spiral. If you notice shortness of breath before experiencing a full-blown panic attack, learn to recognize it and don’t ignore it. Start focusing on your breathing before the anxiety escalates. For long-term strategies, consider seeing a mental health professional. They can evaluate your needs and teach your coping mechanisms that’ll work for you. Practicing your breathing daily, other forms of mindfulness, and taking up relaxing yoga may also help.

Hello Practo user, The concerns you mention suggests anticipatory fears regarding your future that induces anxiety. You could write down good things about work and possibilities of progress. Also, start changing how you talk to yourself about the future, and think positive. You could write down your principal worries and see if you could change them into realistic and more optimistic sentences and repeat them to yourself. I would suggest you to consult a clinical psychologist to further explore and understand your situation and thought processes to manage your anxiety.
