Activity: Schedule a designated time each day to reflect on your worries. During this time write down all of the worries you are preoccupied with, and how they are impacting you. You may find it helpful to identify worries that you have no control over, and those that you can influence, then identify a small action step to address the latter. When worries arise outside of your scheduled worry time, set them aside—or add them to a worry list—to tackle at the designated time.
