Return to the practical question in front of you

Worry is pulling attention away from an ordinary task.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Identify the concrete question or action currently required.
2. Choose one available detail to work with, such as the next instruction or a known fact.
3. Take that ordinary step or ask for clarification, without using the exercise to force continued exposure.

An example

The form asks for a date; I can locate that information before considering the rest.

Reflect

Did the step address the actual task?

Next time

Use support or a pause when needed rather than requiring present-focused endurance.
