Worry Window for Sleep

Give the mind its meeting earlier

TherapistAssist logo

A 'worry window' — 15 scheduled minutes earlier in the evening — gives the mind its meeting so it stops calling one at bedtime.

My worry window: day, time, place

During the window: write everything the mind is chewing on. Sort each into 'act', 'accept', or 'later'.

Things to act on (with next step + when)
Things to accept (out of my control right now)
Things to defer to next window
Cue I'll use to close the window (candle, timer, phrase)
