INSIGHT

Emotional Well-being, Not Mental Health

  • "Mental health" is a misnomer, as most issues are emotional, not cognitive.
  • Emotional well-being is a more accurate term, as it addresses the root of the problem.
ADVICE

Rhythmic Breathing

  • Control your biology by practicing rhythmic, even breathing, not deep breaths.
  • Focus on a fixed ratio of inhales and exhales through your chest, centered around your heart.
ADVICE

The Shift Skill

  • The "shift skill" involves stopping a stressful activity and shifting your attention.
  • Focus on something that evokes positive emotions, especially in your heart, to regain control.
