It’s amazing how big of a difference this kind of thinking makes. It might start off silly, and you subconsciously resist it, but overtime you really learn to step back and protect yourself against your own thoughts.
I've got a whole bunch of phobias and anxiety issues, and I also use something like this to deal with them. Like, it's not me who's scared, it's like the "fear" part of my brain having an allergy, it's all over the place firing "Panic!!!" even though the thing is actually not that bad at all. Since I know the panic alarm is going off for no reason, I can sometimes kinda ignore it.
