I think I’ll always kinda struggle with this. But I have noticed a difference lately. I haven’t been worrying as much as I usually do. I realized that the strategy I’m using is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Every time I notice that I’m worrying or reading too much into something I’ll catch myself. I realize that I’m often jumping to conclusions. If I just take a moment and consider all the other possibilities, instead of automatically assuming the worst, then it relaxes me a bit.
I’d recommend that strategy to everyone who struggles with this. It’s a really popular method right now in Psychology and they often have group sessions available at campuses or through various organizations. I’m sure they could explain it better than I have.
Like I said, I think I’ll always do this to a certain extent but I think I can manage it now :)
