Teacher Trouble

Hi guys,
I have just been diagnoised with GAD and have been researching some non-medication base self help strategy.
I have come accross this one technique which I am trying out. Basically I only allow myself 45 minutes, 5-5:45 each day to analyse/ think about the thoughts which are worrying me. After that I tell myself that the rest of the day is going to be worry free which isn't allways easy as you guys know. In doing this I have found my anxiety has increased and was wandering if any one knows how long this increase will last for and if this is an effective strategy in dealing with anxiety???
Any feedback would be great guys,
Keep fighting the battle!
