Worry Breaks

A worry break is when you set aside a special time just to let yourself think about whatever’s bothering you. Instead of letting worries pop up all the time, you choose a specific time to deal with them. It’s a bit like scheduling a meeting with your worries.

When you give yourself a set time to worry, you can approach those worries with a clearer head. Often, you’ll see that what you were fretting about might not be as big a deal as you thought.

By deciding when you’ll worry, you start to feel more in charge of your thoughts, rather than letting them take over anytime they want.

If you’re not constantly distracted by worries, you can focus better on what you’re doing, whether that’s work, reading, or just enjoying a movie, and knowing there’s a time to handle your worries can help keep stress levels down during the rest of the day.

Once you get the hang of it, you might find you’re not lying awake at night with worries buzzing around in your head.

So, in a nutshell, scheduling a little “worry time” can make the rest of your day a lot smoother and more enjoyable.
