Worry About Things - a Lot? 3 Proven Tips to Reduce Worrying! by Dr. Sarah Allen

Worrying is a natural part of our thinking process, but sometimes it can get out of hand. Excessive worrying can lead to avoiding or not being able to fully enjoy various activities and situations, not being able to make even the simplest decision, and feeling physically tense and uneasy a lot of the time.

The following three tips can help you to break this cycle!

• Learn how to distinguish between worries that require your attention and worries that are unnecessary. You can only change things that are in your control to change.
• Reduce a worry’s power over you by getting the thoughts out of your head and on to paper.
• Don’t let fear of what might happen hold you back. Do it! I bet you feel better after actually doing whatever you were avoiding.

Good luck!
