l Work on developing your mental strength . Train your mind like you would your body. Work on focusing , thinking , imagining. This is the single best thing you can possibly do for your life.
l Recite on mantras or prayers or motivational speeches. Anything that focuses your mind on something positive and hopeful.
l Sometimes the best way to get over anything is just to work on forgetting about it. Not everything requires analysis. The best way to forget is to fill your life with new , better things. Things you may not have expected , things you didn’t know you didn’t know about , things you never imagined you’d like .
l Work on redefining your sense of self by things that aren’t material or shallow. Instead of thinking you are someone who is attractive and successful , learn to think of yourself as someone who is resilient , hungry for new experiences , capable of deeply loving others and so on.
l Learn deep breathing exercises. This sounds kind of annoying if you’ve tried it and it hasn’t worked before , but it’s actually one of the most effective non-prescription solutions to freak out .
l Stop being so cerebral . Do things with your hands . Cook , clean , go outside .
