Besides the regular advise of exercising regularly, eating healthy, sleeping well, relaxing, taking positive actions, here are some spiritual techniques to help you break out of the debilitating thought patterns of anxiety.

To Successfully Cope with Anxiety, Stop Worrying & Eliminate Fear:

1. Change Your Filters of Perception .

Your mind interprets your worldly affairs by passing them through a set of 'invisible filters' set up in your unconscious mind. For instance if you have an unconscious idea that getting jobs is difficult. Your mind will be filtering out only the 'difficult' part of things for you, and eliminating all the easy opportunities from your field of perception. Similarly if your mind is focused on "problems", you will simply be noticing more and more problems around you and in your life... Why not turn this around.

Change your focus from 'problems' to 'solutions'... you will start noticing more and more solutions in and around you. How do you change your 'mind filters', initially you will have to force yourself to focus on all the prosperity, health, happiness etc. around you. It will take a while before it becomes automatic. Affirmations help in changing your filters of perception. Hence you will be automatically eliminating worry, fear and anxiety from your life.

2. Here are some Affirmations to help You Cope with Anxiety and Depression:

"I now let go of worn out things, worn out conditions and worn out relationships. Divine order is now established and maintained in me and my world"... Catherine Ponder

"I now dissolve from my own mind and from the minds of all others any idea that my own can be withheld from me. No person thing or event can keep that from me which the universe has for me now"... Catherine Ponder

Repeat them as often as you can. You may even automate the process of helping you overcome anxiety, stress or depression, get some tapes and cd's to speed you on your way. It's simply a matter of how much you love yourself and want to take positive action right now to finally and firmly resolve your current issues.

3. Yes nip worrisome thoughts in the bud...

One way to do this is by developing trust in God or higher powers of creation and unflinching belief that God/ higher power will always work in your best interest.
For instance instead of worrying whether your child / spouse will come home safe and not meet some bad accident on the way, totally believe and trust in God that your loved one will be brought to you safe. Or instead of worrying that you will be robbed / raped/ whatever... have faith in God / higher power for being able to protect you and keep you safe.
As soon as you feel a cycle of worrying thoughts circulating in your mind, get physically active or change the activity you are doing... For instance if you are sitting and doing something, get up and do some physical work. This may be as simple as organizing your closet, taking out the trash etc. Or start exercising / go for a walk.
Another very potent way is to change your feelings, and you will instantly change the thoughts going around in your mind. How do you do this... Say for instance you are feeling angry, immediately start thinking of some happy event in your past or in your future, you will start feeling happy and soon the angry thoughts will be replaced with happy thoughts.
The power to change your feelings is right inside you. You can choose to feel happy. You can choose to feel valuable. You can choose to feel successful. You can choose to feel prosperous. You can choose to feel confident. You can choose to feel beautiful or smart. YOu can choose to feel loved or loving. And very soon your thoughts will follow your feelings.

4. Get out of your 'comfort zones' more frequently to overcome fear, worry and anxiety

We all set up invisible boundaries around our day to day affairs. For instance most of us usually travel the same old tried and tested route to work. We may buy our clothes from the same shop. We would prefer to go to the same restaurant... Same hair dresser... Our choices or routines are pretty fixed. We don't like to change our choices or routines because it kind of pushes us out of our 'comfort zones'.

If you were to experience making small changes from day to day and getting out of your comfort zone in little ways. You will notice that it is quite safe to travel a different route to work, eat at a restaurant in a different part of town, go to a different hair dresser... And these small enjoyable variations in your daily routine are going to re-enforce your feelings of security and safety and help you in eliminating, unnecessary worry, fear, stress or anxiety during bigger changes. So get into the habit of getting out of your comfort zones more frequently.

5. Develop a Thankful Attitude:

Get into the habit of thanking God / higher power everyday. You can do this while commuting to and from work or at any time of the day.
It may go like this: Thank you God for the good clothes I am wearing; Thank you god for my excellent car; Thank you God for the healthy food in my body; Thank you God for my education; Thank you God for the loving people in my life; Thank you God for...
Yes thank God for every thing/person/place/situation in or around your life. If you do this exercise every day, you will start noticing more and more things to be thankful for, and will start experiencing more abundance and happiness, it also helps you develop an unflinching faith in the goodness in everything / supportiveness of higher power.
Whatever your life situation, you can surely find some thing to be thankful for.

6. Start blessing all negative people and encounters in your Life:

Every time you feel any anger or tension or hatred cycles start circulating in your mind simply say 'I forgive and God bless "the person's name"' , and keep repeating until you break out of the negative thought cycle. This technique is not meant to cap and hold in check all your hurts. You will notice that as you keep on doing this technique, you will start seeing the situation in a new light and it will stop hurting you any more. The negative situation will ultimately lose it's power or hold over you. And you will experience true relief and inner freedom. Don't let your soul be held hostage by allowing continuous negative thoughts. Practice this step and feel the difference.

Yes if you take some quite time and pay attention to your thoughts, you will notice that most of the debilitating thoughts are about events that happened in the past or those that have not even happened yet! Instead of letting this pattern take hold of your mind, you need to develop the practice of paying attention to your thoughts. and correcting them as soon as you notice the wrong/harmful thoughts.
