Worry helps spot problems in small doses, but excessive worry (rumination) traps you in worst-case scenarios. Trying to stop worrying backfires. Instead, use “worry time”: set 15–30 minutes daily (not before bed) to focus on worries, jotting them down during the day. Rate each worry, problem-solve if possible, then let go. This trains your brain to delay anxiety and reduces intrusive thoughts, lowering overall stress and improving control.
