It does no good to walk around always worried about things, because the things that you are worried about in all likelihood won't happen. Anxiety only serves to rob you of your peace of mind, do not let it. Recognize it for what it is and do something about it. If you think about the situations that cause you anxiety almost all of them are more linked to your ego then they are threats of bodily damage, or to some worst case scenario happening that you are completely in control of.

If you do not get it in order it can and will stop you, you are in control and you have the power to get rid of the anxiety. Let's talk about some situations that may bring on anxiety that you have complete control over, and your feelings are only imagined.

Worrying about bills:

You may experience anxiety over paying bills or not having enough money to pay the bills, you must understand that you have the power to control this. Do not worry about this; you know that you will think of a solution to a problem like this. You know that you are a responsible person and you will get over this. The worst is not going to happen and even if it does you are still going to be healthy and alive. Focus on this as hard as you can, you will still be alive if the worst happens and you were to get things reposed, cut off, or taken from you. You will spend more time worrying about such things than what the bill collectors will spend worrying about you.

Fearing the worst all the time:

In almost any situation where you feel like you're in danger or like some disastrous event will happen to you, you are spending too much time worrying unnecessarily. People are not going to laugh at you and if they do it is not the end of the world, you are not going to be hurt, you are not going to die, the worst case scenario will not happen to you because you can think of solutions and even if it did you will be prepared for that as well. The best way to stop anxiety from crippling you is to know that you have the power to respond to any situation positively, you have the power to control the outcome and nobody else.

Anxiety cripples many people everyday in various ways. People worry about losing their jobs, losing their house, losing their spouse, being humiliated, being made fun of or rejected, and other worst case scenarios. You have to understand that these feelings will keep you from moving forward and experiencing life's joys. No matter how hard it might be for you; you must figure out a way to get past the anxiety and start living your life. Once you move past the worry then you can move forward and never let it control you again.
