Here are Nine Ways to Stop the Worry Wheels. These were featured in the July edition of the Sacramento Magazine. I’m thrilled to have contributed to this super article and I am happy to share it with you here! I hope you enjoy it and find these nine ways helpful for stopping your worry wheels and anxiety.
- Put your worries in a (mental) basket
- Consider your locus of control
- Exercise
- Adopt an antianxiety diet
- Practice mindfulness
- Tune in to the five senses
- Connect with others
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- If all else fails, medication
I really like that this fits in perfectly with the holistic approach that Richard and C.R. Zwolinki advocate on their Therapy Soup blog on Psychcentral
