ABSTRACT
This exercise is for people who worry a lot or who are worrying at the present time about something in their life. It’s spoiling their quality of life, all this ruminating and the same thoughts going around and around in their heads. People often don’t know that they can take control of what they choose to think about and not think about and therefore do not need to be a victim of their worries. There is a key cognitive skill called ‘thought-stoppage’. It can support us in being far more disciplined about our worries in terms of keeping them bracketed off when we don’t want to think of them (until we do want to think about them) instead of simply letting them spoil all the lovely things in our life, moment by moment.
