Years ago, I was seeing a psychotherapist, in part, because I was dealing with some wicked anxiety issues. I worried a great deal about tons of different things.
This counselor told me that if I'm worried about one or more things, I needed to set up a time of day each day to worry about whatever was worrying me. She told me not to worry and not think about what was worrying me until that time came.
Then, when the time came, I should allow myself to worry and, during that time, come up with ideas in order to solve whatever problem I was worried about.
Then, after the designated time for me to worry was over, don't worry about my problems for the rest of the day.
Anyone ever try this? If so, did it help you much?
