Worry or Think Time
Research has proven that people who use a worry time find themselves worrying 35 percent less of the time within four weeks.
1. Set aside a specific time each day to think about
the things that keep entering your mind and interfering with your concentration.
2. When you become aware of a distracting thought,
remind yourself that you have a special time to think about them,
3. Let the thought go,
perhaps with "Be here now,"
4. Keep your appointment
to worry or think about those distracting issues
For example, set 4:30 to 5 p.m. as your worry/think time. When your mind is side-tracked into worrying during the day, remind yourself that you have a special time for worrying. Then, let the thought go for the present, and return your focus to your immediate activity.
