· Think about yourself in the third person
· Focus on your future self (what will you be thinking about this is 6 months’ time)
· Visualize an observer (What would Batman do?)
· Avoid using the pronoun “I”: Focus on using third-person pronouns—he, she, they—when engaging in self-talk.
· Mindful acceptance: Let be the things you cannot change
· Self-distancing: Observe your situation like a “fly on the wall”
· Reappraisal: Find the positives in negative situations
