You keep overthinking,
hoping to think a way out.
A tool that guides you through sorting your worries when anxiety builds.
Jot down your worries, sort out what you can do, park the rest for worry time.
You’re waiting on a test result
Tap an arrow.
Emotion sits in the middle, following the other three, which is why we try not to start here.
The ruminations get stuck at your head.
The headaches make the worst case feel real.
Radical acceptance slows down your breath.
A calmer body leaves room for not knowing.
Every check pumps up your cortisol.
The restlessness compels you to do something.
Putting it down lifts some weight off.
Grounding brings you back to the here and now.
Every search opens up more uncertainties.
Needing to be certain is what keeps you looking.
The result arrives whether you rehearse it or not.
You can still think about it for a while, but not now.
Overthinking feels like preparing, but it only tightens the knot.The answer comes when it comes; until then, worry has its time and place.
