Behaviors That Increase Anxiety

Short-term relief —-> Long-term increase

• Seeking reassurance – When you rely on others to relieve your worry, you end up depending on reassurance and unable to cope on your own

• Procrastinating – Not starting or completing tasks due to anxiety about negative outcomes is a form of self-sabotage

• Avoiding or supressing – Avoiding people/places or supressing worry makes anxious thoughts and feelings stronger

• Checking – Over-checking to ensure things are safe or perfect reinforces your anxiety and keeps you from facing/dealing with it
