You Need To Stop Thinking This Way! - Dr Julie

if your thoughts are always going to

that worst case scenario i'm dr julie

and here are my top five tips to stop

catastrophizing

number five look out for those

catastrophizing thoughts if you don't

notice them you can't do anything about

them number four when you spot a

catastrophizing thought label it this is

crucial because you're recognizing that

it's a biased thought not a factual

statement about what will happen

and number three don't try not to think

about it if you do that you're already

thinking about it instead allow it to be

there as one possible perspective number

two shift your focus anxious thoughts

are ideas about the future so ground

yourself in the present moment by

focusing on something in the here and

now like an object or your breath and

number one start to consider alternative

perspectives you know the worst that

could happen but what's the best
