Worrying is a natural human response to uncertainty. But when we allow our worries to consume our thoughts at all hours of the day, they can quickly become overwhelming.
One effective strategy to manage this is by only giving yourself five minutes to worry and sulk over negative emotions. Call this your 5 minutes of worry time.
Worrying is a natural part of life. We all have things that cause us stress and anxiety, whether it’s work, relationships, or just the daily grind. And sometimes, it can feel overwhelming to try and push those worries away. But having a bit of time to allow ourselves to worry can also be helpful.
So during your 5 minutes of “worry time,” allow yourself to think about all the things that are causing you stress.
Give yourself permission to worry. By acknowledging our worries, we can better manage and control them. But once the time is up, move on to something else.
