    4. After the fifth day has passed, go through your worry banks and circle the worries that come up
    the most frequently.

    5. Upon circling your most frequent worries, consider the following:

    ■ Why are these worries coming up so many times?

    ■ How likely are they to come true?

    ■ What can I do to reduce the amount of times I worry about this?

    6. Repeat the worry bank exercise daily to reduce the amount of time you spend worrying
    throughout the day.
