“We can control our mind during challenging situations by taking a slow deep breath, which helps the body feel calm. We can remind ourselves that the moment will pass, which reduces fear. Focus on one small task instead of thinking about everything at once, which prevents the mind from feeling overloaded. We can use simple grounding techniques like noticing what we see or hear to stay present. Also, we can talk to a trusted person to release stress, and replace negative thoughts with positive or realistic ones to stay balanced. Take short breaks to relax the body, which also calms the mind. Regular sleep, exercise, and meditation make control easier,” shares Dr Shree KR.
