Notice what your mind is saying.

You don't have to believe everything you think!

Question your thoughts. Consider a different perspective. What's the evidence for the thought? Is this thought fact or opinion? What's the bigger picture - the helicopter view? What's another way of looking at this? What would someone else say about this?

Let the unhelpful thoughts go.

Choose the best response. What shall I do now? Do it mindfully.
