Step 1: Make a list of behaviors
Start by writing down all of the things you do to try and feel more certain, or to get around or avoid uncertainty. You can use the sample of behaviors listed above as a guide. For example,
- Do you seek reassurance from others?
- Do you do a lot of double-checking?
- Do you look for a great deal of information before making a decision?
- Do you procrastinate a lot?
- Are there situations that you avoid?
