Techniques to dial down chatter - Deepstash

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.
  • Activities that induce "awe", such as a walk in the mountains or looking at a great work of art, can help with a sense of perspective.
  • Writing a daily journal.
  • Creating exterior order can impact your interior order.
  • Temporal distancing. Try to see yourself one year from now.
