As I stated, I take steps to control the worry, including acting on it.
Worry replaces the imaginings of the brain with negativities...rework the imagination and you eradicate most if not all the worry.
For a specific worry? Replace it. Read a book. Tell yourself all the good you do. Be aware of your limitations but know they can change if you work to change them.
1)Repeat to yourself, 'this worry is needless if I don't do something about it'. Then either do it or toss it and do something constructive.
2) Controlled breathing. Focus on breaths in and out and assign them colors-something soothing and healing on the inhale, something 'toxic' on the exhale. Visualize those colors as they come and go.
3)Exercise when the worry starts up. Concentrate on your movements and imagine the changes taking place.
None of this is a one-shot deal. It takes commitment and it takes while for it to become second nature-but it will come.
