Tips on managing worry

Another thing on tips on managing worry. When a worry pops up in your mind you could ask yourself is this a helpful worry to pay attention to at this moment in time. In you think it is then look at what options do you have. For example if you have a worry about losing your job after you heard a rumor about your company down sizing you could brain storm what you could do…e.g. get your resume changed, discuss your concerns with your friends and or family, go on line to see what other jobs are out there, decide to do nothing at this point. These are just some of the options you have.
If you think it is not a helpful worry you could do worry time as described in the blog last time or perhaps you could label the worry by calling it worry every time it comes up.
