I can understand your worry because you are not getting enough sleep and you might not be getting up fresh in the morning to attend to your daily routine. Many people like to go through the days happenings or previous days and take stock to prepare for the next day or the future. Some people can manage thus with ease because they are confident and capable of assessing and evaluating situations. Others feel overwhelmed and anxious about the future because they don't feel prepared to face the future and ring themselves rather inadequate. They even think of the worst case scenario and believe that it'll happen. But mostly it's not true and sometimes there is exaggeration of the reality. 2. I suggest that before sleeping you do pranayama like bhramri and anulom vilom to reduce the number of thought coming and the related anxiety. Try breathing deeply to the count of 2-2-4 meaning inhale for 2 counts, hold breath for 2 counts and then exhale for 4 counts. Dothese pranayama for 15 min and then sleep. 3. I also suggest that you do a realistic evaluation of your problems and any discard any kind of exaggeration, generalisation, black and white thinking, irrational thoughts etc. Replace these thought with more appropriate and updated thoughts which are realistic and helpful. Remember that running away from any life challenge will only buy you temporary mental peace. Sooner or later the problem will come back in a different form. 4. Exercise everyday for 45 min to release natural neurotransmitters in the brain which reduce anxiety. This could be walking, dancing, running, gym, etc. 5. Reduce all junk and high sugar foods from your diet. Eat brain healthy foods rich in proteins, complex carbs and good fats. Junk food is directly linked to increased anxiety and insomnia. 6. Undergo counselling to learn to manage your problems more efficiently without feeling too anxious. Take care.
