Purpose: Puts one worry next to the facts and looks for a fairer way to say it.
When to use: Use this on one worry at a time, when you are not in the thick of it.
Worksheet prompts
- Write the worry down in the exact words your head uses.
- Now weigh it. Be honest on both sides.
- What is a fairer way to say the whole thing?
Not cheerful – fair. Something you would actually believe.
A fairer sentence is easier to carry than a frightening one or a fake one.
