Rage on the Page
- Put on headphones and turn on the binaural EMDR music (here's a playlist ). "It immediately starts to soothe your system, because it's just so relaxing," Bernstein says.
- Then for 20 minutes, just write. Spill all of your emotions onto the page, whatever you're feeling in that moment.
- After those 20 minutes are up, put down your pen and meditate for 20 minutes after that. Lie on your back, and press your right hand on your heart and your left hand on your belly.

EFT Technique
- "If you're feeling anxious, stressed out, or afraid, tap between your ring finger and your middle finger," she says. "Tap right there on that meaty part of your skin."
- While you're tapping, say to yourself: I am safe. I am safe. I am safe. "That's extremely settling to the system, to repeat that affirmation while tapping that point," she says. She even calls it the "holy shit" point for whenever you're feeling uneasy.
- Remember to breathe deeply and completely, and keep reminding yourself: I am safe. I am safe.

Get to Know Your Fears
- Spend five minutes a day checking in with the fearful thoughts that are running the show. Notice them. Acknowledge when those fears crop up and call them out.
- Take a moment to reflect on what you know about those fears: When do they tend to make their appearance, what's their origin, how do they physically feel in your body?
- Ask them what they need. How can you react in a way that honors your true self? "We spend so much time pushing past these thoughts and fears and trudging forward. But what if we just spent five minutes a day getting to know them and listening?" Bernstein poses.
