Worry, Worry, Worry
Obsessive Anxiety
Obsessive worry is similar to a negative spiral . The more time you spend with it, the deeper you get into it. Only a deliberate act of will can free you from it. You have to make a deliberate effort to “get out of your own head” and turn off the worry by changing to another form of experience, such as an activity, communication, sensory distraction, ritual, expression of emotion, or even an alternative positive obsession.
Here are some examples of alternative experiences that can help pull you out of the negative spiral of obsessive worry:
. Physical exercise: dancing, walking, running, swimming, weight lifting, biking, scrubbing floors, cleaning out a closet, sports activitiesProgressive muscle relaxation
