5 things:
1. Devote 15 minutes twice a day (morning and evening?) to your WORRIES.*
2. Write them down--or just the one that's giving you the biggest fits.
3. Include any ideas or suggestions for dealing with whatever's driving you nuts.
4. When the time's up, stop worrying and think of something pleasant.
5. If a worry pops up, you can consider it during the next worry period, but not right then.
*Found this online, thanks be to the source. I googled for the source today and found half a dozen sites that mention this. Dunno who started it, but it's spread all over. Brain Injury Blog has it in a lovely post on overcoming "compassion fatigue," but that's not where I saw it yesterday......
