Maintaining healthy relationships with people is one of the best therapy. Pay attention to people around you. Do they elevate your mood or steal your energy?
If they steal your energy and make you feel bad, put boundary between you and negative ones. Always surrend yourself positive and friendly people.
Talk or write about your worries
Instead of worrying, talk or write away your worries, fears. By writing down, you will realize roots of your problems or worries.

Choose a time for worrying. It should be the same day everyday (from 06:00 to 07:00 in the morning). During worry period, you are allowed to worry whatever thing you want. The rest of the is a worry free zone.
