Create	Your	Weekly	Strategies	Calendar
Revisit	your	weekly	strategies	calendar	you	created	in	chapters	4	(
here
	
)
and	7	(

).	Take	a	moment	to	look	over	the	current	month.	If	you	have

Assess	what	is	coming	up	by	digitally	or	manually	marking	red,	yellow,
and	green	zones	on	your	calendar.	Red	zones	are	those	that	are	more
anxiety	charged,	green	are	those	where	you	expect	to	be	fairly	at	ease
and	feel	less	internal	pressure,	and	yellow	are	neutral	where	you	imagine
you	will	feel	neither	very	anxious	nor	very	relaxed.
Take	a	step	back	and	consider	which	red	zones	might	trigger	anxious
thinking	for	you.	On	days	or	
times
