Pay attention to self-talk
Notice how you speak to yourself and use constructive language instead of negative self-criticism.
“You can control your thoughts and how you choose to respond to live events.”
Slow down your breathing
Breathe gently in for four seconds and out for six seconds to reduce stress and anxiety.
“The best and fastest reset that always works.”
Give your mind quiet time
Take short breaks from digital stimulation to process thoughts and make decisions with clarity.
“Try building small pauses into your day to give yourself time to process your thoughts.”
Try hypnotherapy
Use hypnotherapy to explore and change unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior.
“My own MG Anderson Method combines hypnotherapy with psychology, practical life skills and personalised coaching techniques.”
Use visualization positively
Visualize handling situations calmly to improve responses and reduce anxiety.
“Try turning that around. Take a moment to visualise yourself handling the situation calmly.”
Daily mental health tools
