" Observe the things your mind is telling you, without immediately obeying its commands or spending time arguing with it. Recognize when your mind is viewing the world as a darker, scarier place than it really is. Stop confusing the memories attached to your household items with the items themselves. Stop envisioning catastrophe in your future. Celebrate your successes rather than focusing on your shortcomings. "
