Used properly I can see how this could work. <BR/><BR/>Combine this with Eckert Tolle's "The Power Of Now" and it could be a win-win situation.<BR/><BR/>When I have worries I find it works best to write them down too. There's something to be said for that "from head to hand" practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-628819324496679278.post-88447503832949231902008-05-26T12:51:00.000-07:002008-05-26T12:51:00.000-07:00If it helps to know, here's exactly what I do for ...If it helps to know, here's exactly what I do for an effective worry break:<BR/>1. I write down everything I can think of. I don't analyze it, I just dumped.<BR/>2. When nothing else seemed worth writing down, I walk through my list.<BR/>3. I group things so I can divide and conquer.<BR/>4. I prioritize the issues. <BR/>5. I look for oppportunities to cut off problems at the branch vs. the leaves.<BR/><BR/>When I have an organized set of problems, I find I can more effectively tackle them.J.D.

Having a worry break gives me focus time to make some quick plans for some key problems. It also helps me defer the problems that pop up.<BR/><BR/>The most interesting thing is during my worry break, it forces me to ask prioritize -- what are my worst worries? This puts everything else in perspective.J.D.
