To handle worry and anxiety, use the Worry Decision Tree exercise to separate out real problem worries and hypothetical worries. This exercise also prompts you to think about immediate solutions to the real problem worries. Then, if you have a lot hypothetical worries, set aside an appointment time each day to worry about these things. Any other time during the day is off limits for worrying. If you find you still have worries popping into your mind outside of your appointment, use mindfulness and gratitude to push those thoughts away so you can save them for later.
