Attack the worry with the following questions:
- What's the worst thing that could happen?
- Although I don't want it to happen, could I survive it? How?
- How likely is it that my worst fear will happen?
- What proof do I have?
- What else might happen instead?
- What are some of the possible good outcomes?
- What has happened in similar situations in the past?
- Of all the times I've worried, what percentage of the time have my worries come true?
- When my fears did come true, what did I gain by worrying ahead of time?
- paying interest on a debt you may never owe...
- and suffering in an imaginary life while the real one passes you by.
Side note....while searching for some fun ways to get rid of worry I came across this site that suggested porn about 15 times in the article. I guess if you were really worried and stumbled across that site you would be able to laugh it away.
