Anxiety-reducing techniques

• Write down your negative predictions and test them out. See how often they come to pass.
• Allocate a specific time and place to think about your fears. Many find that it helps them escape from constant anxiety. They also find that when the scheduled time arrives, the problem no longer concerns them.

All people experience negative or troubling thoughts from time to time. Worry helps us to anticipate and prepare for the challenges in life.

But for some, worry can be persistent and overwhelming. People who worry a lot can become depressed and shift to a negative outlook on life.
