Work with your worries
Worry time
When a worry keeps circling, you don’t have to solve it right this second. Write it down, pick a time to come back to it, and give your mind permission to set it aside until then.
Why postponing worry works
It sounds backwards, but scheduling a set “worry time” actually shrinks how much worry runs your day. When you promise your brain you’ll deal with something later — at a specific time — it can stop nagging you about it right now. Most worries also feel smaller by the time worry time arrives, and some don’t feel worth the energy at all.

Catch the worry
Park it here the moment it shows up.
Pick a calm slot later in the day — not right before bed.

When worry time comes
Sit down for 15 minutes and give your worries your full attention.
Your worry-time session
15:00
No parked worries to work through right now. That’s a good place to be.
If a worry feels too big to hold alone, or it’s about your safety, you don’t have to wait for worry time — reach out to someone you trust or the crisis line below. Worry time is for the everyday circling thoughts, not for carrying a crisis by yourself.
