This course is for anyone at work who wants steadier ways of meeting worry: before a presentation, during a restructuring, while waiting on a decision, or simply on a full week. It offers self-guided skills and practices. It is not therapy and not a crisis service; it can sit alongside professional support.
Worry in small doses is information. The course helps you practise a different relationship with it: returning to the body when thoughts race, holding uncertainty with more flexibility, speaking to yourself with warmth, drawing on your strengths, and taking small steps toward what matters to you. The through-line of its first part is simple: body first, mind follows.
The course moves from the body to your values. Interrupt & Ground offers short resets, including a three-minute breathing space, the Nature Micro-Notice (Green-Gold Reset) and Build Your Own Self-Soothing Kit for the five senses. Rethink the Worry includes the Worry Window, which gives worry a set time and place, and the Curiosity Flipcard, which turns worries into open questions. Grow Self-Compassion includes the Compassionate Voice Note. Activate Your Strengths and Live by Your Values close the course with tools such as My Most Resilient Self and the Worry-to-Values Compass, which turns a daily worry into one small action aligned with what matters most.
On WorkSmart4Life this course sits under Sustain, the move about energy and recovery. Its Nature Micro-Notice also appears in the Physical Health and Vitality block of Work Well Together.
I suggest you begin with the first module, Interrupt & Ground. A free 24-hour trial of the whole course is available.
