Benefits of Consciously Questioning Anxiety
consciously questioning anxiety offers several key benefits:
Distinguishes feelings from facts, creating psychological space.
Identifies triggers and underlying causes of anxiety.
Facilitates cognitive reframing of negative thoughts.
Shifts focus from problems to solution-finding.
Promotes cognitive defusion by observing thoughts.
Helps organise anxiety’s information for action.
Develops self-awareness of anxiety responses and unhelpful patterns.
By actively engaging with your anxiety through conscious questioning, you can move from feeling overwhelmed by it to becoming an active agent in managing it.
