Your mind is a powerful tool in managing anxiety. By changing your thought patterns, you can shift your perspective and calm your nervous system. 

Beware of Fortune Telling

The news can often trigger terrifying thoughts and images about the future, and it can feel like these fears are sure to come true. You might even believe that something awful is likely to happen because you thought of it. Distinguish today between the mind’s fantasies and reality. When you notice you’re fearing an imagined disaster, call it what it is: “That’s a fantasy.” Take a slow breath in and out, smile, and return to reality.
