Keep a Worry Journal
Keep a journal in which you record all of your worries. You can carry a small notebook wherever you go and keep a running account of your worries throughout the day. Or you might want to keep a notebook next to your bed and each night before you go to sleep record the major worries of the day. Worries have a way of circling endlessly in your head. One worry can seem like twenty when it comes around again and again. When you write your worries down they become more manageable. Sometimes a worry loses its power when seen in black and white. You can go back over your worry journal weekly or monthly.
It can be extremely instructive to review your worries and notice the actual outcome in each situation. Often the things you worry about never occur. Other times they happen but you handle them just fine. This powerful lesson in reality can help you reduce your worry in the future.
