1. Think about today. At the beginning of the day or at a time when the alarm will begin to cloud your mind, sit down for a minute, stop. Breathe. Significantly narrow the focus. Do not look forward, as you see the goal to be achieved, and begin to worry even more. Just focus on the current day. Nothing more. "Tomorrow" is not going anywhere.

2. Speak what you're doing right now. For example: "Now I brush my teeth." Drive off into the past and the future is very easy. And this phrase quickly takes you back to the present.

Ask yourself how many times your negative predictions for the future do not come true?

A lot of things that you fear, never will happen to you. It's just a monster living in your head. And even if some of your fears will actually happen, most likely it will not be as bad as you imagine painted. Anxiety often - a waste of time.
