No matter how i much i tell myself to not sweat the small stuff, those feelings of worry keep coming back. It's not anxiety , just general worrying too much about minor things and i really hate it. How do i make it stop? It's driving me insane!
What kind of minor things are you worrying about, that you wouldn't classify as anxiety? Like, do you worry that you'll get back to feed the parking meter, which ruins your good time? Or worry whether the payment will get there in time, or whether your pants look good with the shirt you're wearing?
I find that being involved with something that is deeply engaging helps to reduce the space that is left in my mind for worrying. If that would work for you, then it very much depends upon what engages you. What truly interests you?
