Techniques to dial down chatter
- Venting to friends does more harm than good because it pushes away those you need most.
- Distanced self-talk - speaking to yourself in the second or third person - helps to gain emotional perspective "Rachel, you should calm down, it is not the end of the world."
- The power of touch - putting your arms around someone.

- Creating exterior order can impact your interior order.
- Temporal distancing. Try to see yourself one year from now.
