I've started getting into the habit of imagining that my anxiety is a separate person from me. This is someone who loves me and wants the best for me, but doesn't have the power to actually help me once something has gone wrong and they're deeply troubled by that. The only thing they can really do to help me is to predict the bad things before they come so I can be prepared. And so they do that. Frequently and loudly.
So I imagine I'm having a conversation with this person. I imagine them telling me, with words, what they think is about to happen to me. I thank them for trying to help me. And then I tell them, "Right now, we're going to practice having faith that things are going to be okay." I put my hand on their shoulder to comfort them, then I calmly get on with whatever I need to get on with. They always stay there for a while, wringing their hands and waiting for the worst. But eventually, the tension fades away.
