CBT aims to help you identify and explore the ways your emotions
and thoughts can affect your actions. Once you notice these patterns,
you can begin learning how to change your behaviors and develop
new coping strategies.
It is okay that there are aspects of your life you cannot control.
However, continuing to worry about the things that you cannot control
is like constantly holding an umbrella and waiting for it to rain. That
“umbrella” will weigh you down eventually.
Let’s practice writing down things you can vs. cannot control.
For the worries that you can control, what can you
do to mitigate these concerns? Can you make a to-
do list or add these tasks on your calendar to stay
more organized? In the upcoming pages, you can
find materials that will help you do just that!
