Weigh it up ⚖️

Often when we’re worried or feel negatively about something, our thoughts are based on fears rather than facts. Take a moment to think about what’s worrying you.

What facts (not feelings or opinions) support this thought? Write them down and move them to the ‘Evidence for’ column.

What facts or experiences suggest this thought might not be true? Write them down and move them to the ‘Evidence against’ column.

The more you practise challenging worries, the easier it becomes for your brain to spot the difference between a fear and a fact.

Give it a try!
