Distance worry - Try to label your worry and then refocus on what you are doing.
Worry will always be with us. It is our mind problem solving. It may also be a way of avoiding certain feelings or sensations, like a protector.
- Try labelling your worry and re-focus your attention back on to what you are doing.
- Imagine your worry on leaves floating past you on a river. Let them float past you.
- See it as junk mail or adds on social media, you may notice it but not engage in it.
- Imagine your thoughts as fish swimming past you as you sit on a rock overlooking a river or the ocean, or birds flying past you in the sky.
