STOP Worrying !

 

 If you spend more time worrying than working,

learn to curb the worry habit . . .  

 

"Worry is like a rocking chair. It rocks and rocks and gets us nowhere."


So why do we do it? What perpetuates and even escalates this habit?
Do you even worry about how much you worry? How much is too much?
Is it possible to worry yourself sick?
How do we prevent it from running our life? Or giving us anxiety?

This evening workshop provides information about worrying, and teaches practical strategies that curb worry and decrease its negative impact on mood and performance.
