What to Do if you Find Yourself Worrying
- Keep yourself busy to take your mind off the problem.
- If the worry is petty or insignificant, forget about it. “Little” worries can ruin your day if you let them.Ask yourself if it is truly a legitimate worry. Can this or will this concern really occur?
- Ask yourself if this worry is beyond your control. If it is, keep telling yourself it is out of your hands. Categorizing your worries will help you analyze them.
- Don’t worry about the past. What is past has passed. You can’t change it so don’t try to.
- Follow the four basic problem solving steps:
- What is the problem?
- What is the cause of the problem?
- What are all possible solutions?
- What is the best solution?
