Jot down your worries, and think about why they’re worrying to you
Studies say that writing down our thoughts and worries can lessen their effect because then we can assess our thoughts as if it’s real and palpable. Try to do it until all the things you worry about lose its weight and effect.
For example, if you write “I’m afraid I don’t have enough money” — and read that sentence over and over again, at some point, that thought will be less scary.
Okay, you will not have enough money. So what?
You can always find the solution to that situation, and use your time more productively by preparing for that exact worrying situation. Try to find humor in that situation will help too. Not everything in life needs to be taken seriously.
