Being restless is sometimes a good sign if you sense the lack of personal growth and that you are not moving ahead in life. It is a signal for you to do something different or to change yourself.
However, feeling nervous, agitated and edgy habitually brought about by doubt and fear thoughts will cause mental and physical unrest. You will lose sleep and your good health.
If you want to advance and achieve more in life, learn how to direct your frantic state of mind to become more calm and focused. Whatever chaos you are experiencing on the outside is caused by your unquiet mind. As long as you don't quiet your mind, you are going to feel tense and jumpy all the time.
Take only a small fraction of your day to sit still by yourself and relax in order to rid of those jittery feelings. Success and happiness begin internally and you need solitude and quiet times for reflection. Deep meditation and self-hypnosis are good practices to refocus your thoughts internally and relax. It allows you to discover yourself, become aware and nourishes your soul.
What you say to yourself affects your emotions and decision. One of the ways avoid the feeling of discontent is to word things in the positive. Your words, either spoken silently within or expressed out loud, are the manifestations of your thoughts and they have the power to determine your behavior. Notice, observe and change your language in order to get rid of worries and anxieties. Question yourself to understand your motives and to change your way of thinking.
Your mind thinks in pictures and images. Whatever upsetting pictures that you see will cause you to feel apprehensive and act impatiently. Interrupt yourself in the midst of these negative thoughts by taking deep breathing. You can get rid of disturbing thought patterns by changing your physiology. Walking and vigorous exercise can also help you calm your restless mind. They make you feel good and divert your attention.
Tress, streams, the seas are naturally calm. Watching them can make you experience serenity. Remember this experience, imprint it on your mind and visualize this experience during the time when you feel uneasy.
