Suzanne Phillips, writing for psychcentral.com, has
written a powerful piece titled "Five Ways to Reduce Excessive Worry"
(the link is below). In brief, here's
what she has to say:
·
There’s plenty to worry about (job security, flu epidemics,
child safety, weather-related and health-related issues, et al).
·
Excessive worry is toxic, not productive.
·
Here are five strategies for reducing excessive worry:
o Focus
on “what is,” not “what if”;
o Move
from thought to action;
o Connect
with others;
o Postpone
worry; and
o Set
up a “worry time.”
Phillips’ complete article (it's worth a read) can be found at http://blogs.psychcentral.com/healing-together/2013/02/five-strategies-to-reduce-excessive-worry/.
