How Do You Handle Worry?
How you make room for concerns that have no answer yet
Concerns can arise when there is an action to take and when there is nothing immediate to do. Reflect on how you try to organize your thoughts in uncertainty.
WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES
WHAT THIS TEST EXPLORES
When demands multiply or feelings are unclear, the concern and the next action can become tangled. Read everyday answers as reflections on handling uncertainty. This is neither a technique for eliminating worry nor a test for an anxiety disorder. Consider the difference between a question you can work on now and something that remains unknown for the moment.
- Separating a concern from a next action
- Making room for what is not yet known
- Putting a vague concern into words
