When fear comes into life, a person experiences insecurity and confusion. It is fear that makes it difficult to concentrate, since a sick imagination draws terrible pictures of subsequent events, usually exaggerated and implausible. Succumbing to negative thoughts, a sense of approaching danger, insurmountable and insoluble problems, you lose your sense of reality, falling into an abyss of anxiety and quiet horror. And the more you think about it, the stronger the feeling of hopelessness.
This behavior tends to attract trouble, as you unconsciously "call" trouble to you. Thoughts have the ability to materialize, and both good and bad thoughts obey this law of nature. What to do?
Try to change the scenario of events by setting yourself up in a positive way. Try not to think about the bad, do not worry about what can happen or will happen in the near future. After all, it will happen anyway! Remember the good moments from your life more often and drive away the gloomy thoughts.
