Hi folks,

Overthinking and worrying can consume our lives. It's addictive and accumulative. The more we think and worry, the more thoughts are sparked off, which increases our thinking, which sparks off even more thoughts....and the snowball gets bigger and bigger and bigger.

My proposal is therefore this; make a decision that you will schedule out 15 minutes a day as your "worry period". Every time your worrying thoughts start to creep in, tell yourself "I'll worry about that during my worry period. It's not going anywhere so can be dealt with later". It'll take some practice but it will provide you with some relief. Note, you are not berating yourself for worrying, you are simply postponing it.
..And guess what happens when you get to your allotted worry period? The intense feeling has lessened and you don't feel the same need to worry. Great! Time has likely put things into perspective and you don't start to roll a new 'worry snowball'. In fact, you may even find you forget to have your worry period at all!!

We all worry, but more often than not what we worry about doesn't even happen.

Have a great week and I hope you worry a little bit less!
