Week 2, roll call round the fire pit.
June’s Side Quest is “Dial it down” when needed.
Dial down the catastrophising, the anxiety spike, the overthinking. Yep we can fall into a bit of that and it doesn’t help us.
The invite this week is to play around with three approaches to dialling down worry and catastrophising.
✨One: a cognitive questioning
- Asking is this actually happening?
- What’s the evidence against this prediction?
- What would my best friend say?
✨ Two: A zoom out
- Zoom out like you do on Google maps. Imagine zooming out and looking at the situation all the way from space.
✨ Three: A future time hop
- Travel 5 years into the future - will this thing causing some anxiety still matter?
- And my favourite - mash up the zoom out and the time hop
