Kiss your worries goodbye.
It might sound counterintuitive to give yourself permission to worry, but according to Harkess, focusing onworrying is still wiring those same worrisome pathways in the brain. You're much better off, she says, acknowledging that worrying is simply something our brains do—and further, that your worries are not hard-and-fast truths about who you are or what's going to happen.
In this way, she adds, you can start to learn how to disengage from worrisome thoughts without trying to suppress or control them.Many of our worries are about things that haven't even happened—and may never happen. We anticipate the worst, fret that things will go wrong, and cling to a deep need for certainty and control when it comes to the future.
To that end, she says, practices like meditation, yoga, or even spending time in nature can be a good way to separate your true self from your mental chatter and worrisome thoughts."Any ways of practicing tapping into that 'sense of ourselves beyond ourselves' are really helpful," Harkess adds.
"You're placing each of your thoughts or worries or physical sensations onto a leaf and watching it float past and practicing detachment," she adds.This ad is displayed using third party content and we do not control its accessibility features.Similar to scheduling worry time, you can use a journal to get your worries out in a helpful way.
