Changing worrying patterns

There is no such thing as "good worry". Instead of worrying, try to do the following:

  • When you want to focus on the problem, do so in an open-minded, calm, and non-judgmental way.
  • Define the problem.
  • Identify your ultimate goals.
  • Remember to think positive.
  • If you find yourself steering toward negative thinking, try to let those thoughts go, and refocus your mind on the problem.
