Affirmations are a great way to turn your current thoughts around. If you get stuck on a topic, ask yourself what is it I am most grateful for right now?
  2. Manage the time and energy you spend worrying.
  3. Learn how to relax. We become more relaxed when we practice meditating, yoga.
  4. Get good at not worrying about things you can't control and let go of the things you can't change in life.
  5. Don't rush into action when you're still in the worry cycle.
