Self Help – Empower Yourself The Worry Tree The Worry Tree helps us effectively deal with worrying thoughts. We can spend many hours a day worrying about anything and everything, and that worry is often not helpful, in spite of what we might believe. The worry tree helps us deal with Type 1 worries which are the worrying thoughts that seem to happen all the time. Type 1 worries can be separated into two further categories: • Hypothetical situations • Current problems Hypothetical situations are those "what if...?" thoughts about some terrible event that might happen. These thoughts are usually followed by imagining what would happen in those worst-case scenarios. These kinds of worries cause us a lot of anxiety, when there is perhaps little or nothing we can do about that situation, and we are over-estimating the odds of these things happening. They are an imagined future scenario that will most probably not happen. We might think we're helping by worrying and planning what to do in the event of this feared event happening, but it doesn't happen, so all that time and distress has not been helpful. Current problems are those worries that relate to a real situation, that we CAN do something about. In which case, we can decide what to do, when and how - which will be much more helpful than just continually worrying about it. https://www.getselfhelp.co.uk// “Eat like you Something to do… Drawing challenge – Grayson’s Art Club (Channel 4, 8pm on a love yourself.

Get out of survival mode. from these letters? New habits, new life.” K W E R Thinking Skills N A D T Finding Your Authentic Self and Shedding Your Mask Authenticity means living from the heart. It means living life in alignment with your values and desires. When we act in ways S E Y A that align with our deepest values, we are fulfilled inside and are also able to form better relationships with others. Sometimes being authentic requires you to step away from the person you F U U E have become. 1. Redefine Your Values To live an authentic life, you have to know what matters to you. Arithmagons Your decisions, priorities and actions should be based on your values. If you sway from your values, you will feel regretful and unsatisfied from life. 2. Ask Introspective Questions Probe your heart with inquisitive statements. For example: I waste the most time… This is the trait I really value in others… If I had to do one thing to improve my life it would be… The one thing that gets me down but shouldn’t is… 3. Pay Attention to Your Intuition Your hunches, physical sensations, and emotions act like an inner compass. They have the power to take you in the right direction if you pay attention. When something doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t. 4. Create the Space to Hear Your Inner Voice We live in a world full of distractions. The most important connection is the one we have with ourselves. It is the key to living and finding your authentic self. Step away from the distractions and tune into your own heart. 5. See Things With An Open Mind Without Any Judgment Judgment closes the conversation and puts blame on you. The first step in finding your authentic self is to see things from a place of oneness, curiosity, and lack of judgment. For example, if you call yourself “lazy”, you are judging and inviting guilt into your life. On the other hand, if you call yourself “demotivated”, you realise that motivation comes from a source and it can be fixed. And that you need to change directions and choose an area where you will be able to work hard. https://iamfearlesssoul.com/finding-your-authentic-self/ Quiz Time – Topic – Formula One Drivers (& Flags!)
