I love your videos. They are so so helpful!! I feel I am able to tackle all those challenging thoughts. I am beginning to realize the anxious situations I face are nowhere near as detrimental as I think they are. Thanks again. =)

[Christine Korol]

That's fantastic, Jessica! I'm so glad to hear that you are beginning to see some progress with your worry! Thank you so much for taking the time to let me know that you found the info helpful.

What about if ur trying to get to sleep how do u distract ur mind then? Im not gona staart drawing or something like that cause i will be tierd in the morning.

[Christine Korol]

If you're still having trouble sleeping after challenging a worry, then you want to do something boring.....preferably in a darkened room. Anything stimulating can keep you up longer. That's why reading a good book isn't a good idea because you may be tempted to read just one more chapter. Check out my insomnia video because I cover several sleep strategies in that class.

thankyou so much it is realy kind of you to put up these vids for people

[Christine Korol]

No problem :-) You had a good question that I'm sure many other people had, too! I was thinking about your question today too - and I do think that drawing would be a good wind down activity in the evening (as opposed to something boring to do when you can't sleep). Hope you're sleeping well soon.

The "evidence for" and "evidence again" columns are confusing...

Oh that great! I cant wait to see them. I'm self-diagnosed with ADD, so some on that topic would be awesome!

[Christine Korol]

You're welcome! Thank you for letting me know that you are enjoying them and that they are helping. I'm working on adding more soon.
