Managing Hypothetical Worries: Worry Time Activity

Adults

The “Managing Hypothetical Worries Worry Time Activity” is a structured approach to help manage anxieties about future events that cannot be currently influenced or predicted. It involves four key steps:

Plan Worry Time: Set aside a specific time each day to focus on your worries.
Log Your Worries: Note down your worries throughout the day.
Refocus Attention: After logging a worry, shift your focus away from it.
Worry Time: Review your logged worries and practice letting go of hypothetical ones through various methods, such as ripping, scrunching up paper, or deleting the notes.

This activity aims to provide a controlled environment to address worries, distinguishing between practical and hypothetical concerns, and encouraging the practice of ‘letting go’.
