1. Respond to anxious thoughts with 'noted, moving on'. Studies show that 91% of worries never actually happen. Your brain is worrying about a future that statistically won't happen.
2. Dance/ walk/ run/ play sport/ move when your mind gets stuck. Overthinking happens when energy gets trapped. Movement gives it an exit route and your brain can finally reset.
3. Talk to yourself in third person when you are spiralling/ feeling overwhelmed. Self-distancing turns down the emotion so you can actually think.
