Worry Time Game
Set aside dedicated time for worries, so they don't control your day.
This exercise helps you contain worries to a specific time:
- Step 1: Write down your worries
- Step 2: Set a timer for 10-15 minutes
- Step 3: When time is up, let worries go until tomorrow
Your Worry Time
Write down everything that's worrying you. You have 15:00 minutes.
Time's up! Your worry time is over. Let these worries go until your next worry time.
Worry Time Complete
Well done! You've given your worries dedicated time and attention.
Remember:
- Worries can wait until your next worry time
- If a worry comes up later, remind yourself: "I'll think about this during worry time"
- Schedule worry time for the same time each day (10-15 minutes)
- Outside of worry time, focus on the present moment
