Often people don't take anxiety and stress seriously enough. They just keep going into negativity because they don't feel specific consequences. But the harsh truth is that it negatively affects you. Another not so striking result after a long period of time in the cage of your thoughts is depression. Dealing with mental disorders is often more challenging than dealing with physical ones.

Here's a simple test to see if you really need to work on your own mood. Ask yourself the last time you felt truly happy. If your answer is not satisfactory, and I'm sure you can assess this for yourself, you must realize that you alone are responsible for the quality of your life. And you alone must take control of your life.
In order to eliminate or cure something, you have to identify its source, otherwise you simply cannot recover. It's like trying to fight your enemy without seeing him or her and waving your arms chaotically in the dark. So - who or what is the source of your anxiety? Answering this question will make it easier for you to set yourself up for positive thoughts.

We all love our comfort zone - it allows us to think clearly, we feel safe, and the chances of feeling anxious are almost non-existent. But! Life doesn't have to be predictable 24/7. We're all slaves to our habits, and that's no way to live our lives that way, because for us, life has so much more positivity and suggestions.

It's not easy to get out and escape the trap of your mindset, but you can do it. The bottom line is that no one and nothing should stand in your way of happiness--not even your own mind. Setting your mind on positivity is not the goal; it cannot be achieved. So, change your mindset and start looking at the world as if you were seeing it for the first time.
