I don't live with a formal diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder, but I'm pretty confident that's where my head is at. One thing I've been trying to implement recently, especially when I get stuck in a never-ending thought spiral, is to ask myself some of the following questions. It's not a cure, nor does it always work, but the self-reflection is a welcome distraction at the very least!

Is this thought absolutely 100% true?
Do I need to think about this right now?
Is this an old thought or a new thought?
Is this thought or worry distorting my reality?
What'll happen if I let this thought go?
Am I letting this thought define me?
Is this thought creating peace or pain?
Other (add your questions below!)
None of the above, I really don't think this would work.

I'm always curious about how other people with health conditions balance responsibility with lower or next-to-none energy levels. There are so many variables! (Also, if you have any spoon-saving tips on this topic, I'd love to hear about them in the comments.)

A gentle reminder: There's no pressure to follow through fully, but it's great to have a framework or mindset to try on. You deserve good things, always, especially when it comes at your own pace!

You: “I’m going to make a list!”

Us: “YOU CAN DO IT!”

Which list-making medium makes it most comfortable and accessible for you to add, adjust, or change things based on your needs, schedule, and energy levels?
