My worry and relaxation plan
Strategies you can plan try:
- Turning my clock / phone around so I can’t clock-watch
- Getting out of bed after 20 minutes if not asleep and doing a restful activity until sleepy
- Setting aside 20-30 minutes “worry time” a day
- Writing down worries I need to get out before bed
- Writing down 3 things I’m grateful for before bed
Be patient
Remember, sometimes we need to practice a new strategy a few days in a row before we can tell if it has had any impact.
Keep notes
You can note down thoughts and comments about how useful you found each strategy.
