Is It Normal To Be More Anxious This Time Of Year?

[Bill]

We have overactive minds that automatically seem to follow a seek and destroy mission path!

This is Very True Kate. Our minds need to be kept occupied to prevent wandering thoughts. Negative thought patterns will always look for something to worry about and then the symptoms start, and then we start feeling ill.

We have to keep our minds interested in something but also learn a new of thinking for the boring times such as sitting at home watching TV after too much to eat and drink over the Christmas period!

Yes, your mind is being kept occupied at work but if you feel under too much pressure to get a job done or feel stressed because of the environment you're working in, you will experience palpitations due to too much stress rather than wandering thoughts.

Once you experience palpitations, you could then find your mind will wander to those symptoms which will make them feel worse.

It's a case of keeping the mind occupied without adding stress or learning ways to help keep relaxed but it's difficult in a stressful working environment unless we find a job we enjoy.

Thanks Bill, that makes sense.
