When a Worry Came True

Purpose: Looks back at a hard thing you feared and actually lived through.

When to use: Use this once the hard thing is behind you, even a little.

Worksheet prompts

1. What did you worry about that actually happened?
2. What was it really like when it came – the same as you pictured, or different?
3. Name what got you through it – people, habits, anything at all.
4. Did the worrying beforehand help you when the day came?
5. What would you want to tell yourself before the next hard thing?

You have already survived something you were sure you could not. That is worth keeping.
