Constant worrying, negative thinking, and always expecting the worst can take a toll on your emotional health.

Here are 4 Simple Steps to Help You Worry Less:

✅ Acknowledge, observe, and write down your worries, forget about them, and get back to regular programming.

✅ Schedule a worry time to go over your worries for a short period of time every day (if need be).

✅ Challenge your anxious thoughts during your worry time by asking yourself…

• Is it true?
• Is there a more positive way of looking at the situation?
• Will worrying help things?
• What would you say to a friend having this worry?

✅ Stay mindful. Pay attention to your body. Breathe. Stay active. Focus on the present, and break the negativity cycle!
