Quick Tips

How can I change a habit I don’t even notice?

Start by becoming a friendly detective of your own thoughts. For a few days, just notice what you’re thinking when you start to feel anxious. You don’t have to judge it or change it yet. You might notice a pattern, like always expecting the worst in social situations. Once you spot these patterns, you’ve shined a light on them. Now you know exactly which thinking habit you can start to work on, which is the first and most important step toward making a change.

Can this really make a big difference in how I feel?

Yes, absolutely. It might seem too simple, but that’s its power. You are training your brain to be right here, right now, instead of worrying about the future or the past. Doing this for just a few minutes each day builds up your “focus muscle.“ You’ll start to find that you can call upon this calm feeling during more stressful parts of your day. It’s a small, manageable tool that, with practice, can help you feel more steady and peaceful in your daily life.

What questions should I ask about a specific medication they suggest?

Always ask the simple, practical questions. “What is this supposed to do for me?“ and “How long until I might feel a difference?“ are great places to start. Also ask, “What are the side effects I should watch for?“ and “Is there anything I shouldn’t eat or drink while taking this?“ Getting clear answers helps you know what to expect. It also helps you feel more in control and less nervous about starting something new. Your doctor wants you to feel comfortable with the plan.

What if I’m too nervous to speak in the group?

That is a very common fear, and the good news is that you don’t have to say a single word if you don’t want to. You are usually welcome to just listen. Most groups understand that it takes time to feel comfortable. Just being in the room, hearing others talk about feelings similar to yours, can be incredibly helpful. As you listen and realize no one is judging you, you might slowly feel more at ease. The pressure is off; you can participate at your own pace.

Is this the same as just ignoring my problems?

Not at all! This is the opposite of ignoring problems. Ignoring means you’re pretending the thought isn’t there. Letting a thought come and go means you are brave enough to acknowledge it without letting it take over. You are choosing not to have a big reaction right at that moment. This actually gives you more power. It clears some mental space so you can later deal with the real problem in a calmer, smarter way, instead of when you are feeling panicked and overwhelmed.
