How to Let Go of Anxious Thoughts (CBT)

This CBT technique for managing anxiety is called "thought challenging." It's a great way to deal with anxious thoughts. Your thoughts have a huge influence on how you feel and behave, and so it can be helpful to challenge your thoughts if you are stuck in a negative thought cycle. Hilary Heart uses the example of "I'm a failure" to demonstrate how this easy technique works. Grab a pen and paper and systematically work through the steps she describes. You will see that changing your thoughts can change your life! Your thoughts have a huge influence on your feelings and behaviour and are certainly worth challenging!
