KICK THE WORRY HABIT!

Does your mind often drift to an imagined future of negative scenarios?

If so, you just might be a worrier.

When we worry, we’re essentially making negative predictions. Worry is the tendency of your mind to make a beeline to the worst-case scenario overlooking all the other possible scenarios, including the best-case and the most likely ones. Worry is a mental habit—a habitual bias in your thinking.

While everyone worries occasionally, chronic and pervasive worry creates stress and anxiety. And it’s a killjoy. Imagine you’re sitting on a beach trying to enjoy the last day of your vacation, but your mind keeps going to the possibility of getting stuck in traffic on the way to the airport and missing your flight. What’s needed in this moment is the ability to reel your awareness back to the present moment. To feel the sand between your toes and the sun on your face and hear the seagulls. Easier said than done.

Most chronic worriers tend to push their worries away and keep them at bay with constant distraction. But you can’t distract forever.  Eventually, your worry thoughts will hit. So, it’s a good idea to diversify your current strategies for handling worry. If you’d like to worry less and enjoy life more, try some of these cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) hacks.

Evaluate your Worries

Counter to the M.O. of most worriers, CBT focuses on bringing the worry thoughts into awareness and then evaluating them for accuracy.

Worry is a negative prediction of something that is possible. But practically anything is possible. So, the more relevant question is how likely it is. To determine that, you need to examine the factual bases for and against your prediction.

First, force yourself to commit to a percentage of likelihood. 100% is certainty, and 50% is chance. Then, write out the facts that support your prediction, but also the facts that contradict it. For example, you may believe it’s 70% likely you’ll flunk an upcoming exam because you haven’t begun studying. On the other hand, there may still enough time to start studying and you’ve never flunked an exam in your life. After you’ve evaluated the bases for and against your worry, reassess the likelihood. It might seem less likely now.

If the probability of what you’re predicting is still too high for your liking, ask yourself what you can do to decrease it. In other words, shift from worrying, which is basically repetitive cognitive churn, into problem solving to decrease the likelihood. For example, rather than worrying about flunking, study. Rather than worry about being stuck in traffic and late, leave early.

Rather than worry about being stuck in traffic and late, leave early.

Keep track of actual outcomes

Did you ever stop to notice how many of the negative things you were bracing for never happened? In another words, your worry was a complete waste of time. You made your flight, you passed your test. Most worriers tend to overlook the actual outcomes of their predictions, dismissing the better-than-expected ones. Instead, they just race on to the next worry. To break the worry habit, it’s important to track the actual outcomes and write them down. Then, go back once or twice a week and reimagine the better-than-expected outcomes. Imagine yourself strolling up to the gate in time for the flight or seeing your passing grade on the exam. It takes more effort to encode positive information in the brain because of the negativity bias. Reimagining the better-than-expected outcome will increase the odds of remembering them and of more realistically evaluating the likelihood of your next worry.

Mindfulness

Because worry is future focused, it has the net effect of taking us out of the present moment. We may be physically present, but the focus of our awareness is on the future. For this reason, it’s important to cultivate the ability to anchor in the present moment through mindfulness practice. Mindfulness is nonjudgmental and undivided awareness of present experience. We can cultivate this skill through meditation, but also by bringing nonjudgmental and undivided awareness to everyday activities, such as eating, drinking tea, and listening to the sounds around us.  Then, when you catch yourself contemplating some imagined negative scenario, you’ll be able to reel your awareness back to present moment and let your worry go.

Remember, worry is not mandatory. If you’d like to worry less and enjoy life more, try some of these CBT hacks and you just may find your kicking the worry habit.

I think that Dr. Christina "I was an excellent soldier" Raynor needs to deal with some personal things before she's anyone's therapist, because she strong-armed more of Bucky's autonomy away from him than Zemo did within the series.

#yeah man make amends for the shit that happened when you didn't even have control over your own thoughts #so she was giving him a way to “fix things” but that wasn't on him to do so #all she did was doubly reinforce what he already thinks - which is a justified but false and guilt-laden perception - about the situation #idk much about therapy but i don't think that they're sposed to do that. correct me if i'm wrong and then i'll go fight all therapists #bucky barnes #tfaws #alpine #my art #thank you for putting up with my drawings of a comic book character and his asshole cat lol #i had to put my dog down recently in a bad way and i can't rightfully get another house dog with my current work schedule #so i got a cat since they can handle being inside for the day and the shelter lady said she's super antisocial towards other cats #she's super antisocial towards me sometimes too but she sleeps on me at night and my house has never been cleaner #now that i have to vacuum cat fur and mind what i leave lying on the counter #i've never liked cats before but she's special i guess idk ain't everyone's cat special lol #anyway i'll stop using my tumblr blog as a blog now lol

Understand Mindfulness Therapy and the Role of Mindfulness Therapist

A mindfulness therapist helps individuals develop mindfulness skills to improve their mental and emotional well-being. Through techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, and focused attention, the therapist guides clients in becoming more aware of the moment, which can lead to reduced stress and improved relationships. Mindfulness therapy can also be used as a standalone treatment.

Reid: We're the dream team!

Hotch: How are we the dream team?

Reid: You're the hero, of course. Emily keeps your ego in check. I'm the comic relief, obviously and I guess Rossi is our dad. You know, the only real adult around here.

Rossi: I'll take it.

Hotch: Hey, I'm an adult.

Emily: You're a cynical man-baby who point blank ignores anyone who disagrees with you.

Hotch: I am not a man-baby-

Reid: See! There she goes checking that ego. It's Perfect!

Reid: if I had a nickel for every time my therapist looked at me and out of nowhere goes, “you’re very submissive.” I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?!

I gave birth to a fully dressed toddler. I could physically feel his little shoes and jeans slip out and he had on one of those little plaid hoodies from the 2010s. I couldn’t stop screaming.

#nightmare #it literally took me two full days to recover I felt extremely disgusted with my body and the sensation wouldn’t leave my mind #I spoke to my therapist and my mom about it and they couldn’t stop laughing in horror #I’m also a lesbian who doesn’t want kids why did I have this nightmare #dream #giving birth #birth #toddler #body horror #horror
