8. Have a self-help mantra

While others prefer to count numbers or imagine a different world, some people have experienced a sense of calm by repeating uplifting or positive phrases. These can be a quote you got from a book, words a parent or mentor have said towards you, a bible verse, or even a phrase you’ve made for yourself.

Uttering the words, “This too shall pass”, “I am stronger than my fears”, or even an “I will be okay” can help boost your morale and reassure yourself in overcoming whatever feeling you are facing.
