Identify irrational thinking behind the worry.

Some of our most stressful thoughts are caused by irrational ideas. Here are a dozen of the most potent:

• I must be approved of and loved by everybody I know: family, friends, and even casual Acquaintances
• I must be unfailingly competent and perfect in all I do
• It is terrible if things, people or events are not as I wish them to be
• I must have somebody or something stronger than myself to rely on
• I am helpless and cannot control what I experience or feel
• Lasting relationships depend on my being unselfish
• People reject me unless I continually please them
• If people disapprove of me, it means I must be wrong or bad
• Being alone is the worst thing that can happen
• My happiness depends on others
• There is a perfect love and a perfect relationship somewhere to be found
• My value as a person depends on how much I achieve
• The answer to all my problems is out there somewhere
