When I think of all the stress I’ve put myself through over things that had not yet happened, I can only laugh.
CBT tip: when you find yourself stressing over a potential future, ask yourself if you have any evidence to support your assertion. Imagine you’re in a courtroom presenting a case; if you don’t have anything other than “what if”, your logical brain may jump in and calm down.
By doing something like this, you’re also actively rewiring pathways in the brain so that next time maybe it’ll be just that little bit less stressful and you’ll not get as anxious over possible futures.
