Write the worst, likely and best case for one fear

Look at a fear from three angles instead of only the worst.

Why it helps

Worry tends to fix on the worst outcome. Listing all three may give a more balanced view.

How to do it

1. Write the fear.
2. Write the worst, most likely and best outcomes.
3. Decide what you would do in the most likely case.

Make it easier

Write only the most likely outcome.

Make it harder

Add one small thing you can do to prepare.

If fear feels constant or overwhelming, talk to a professional.
