>*ive read a book called “Chatter”* Thank you for the recommendation. This is my attempt to summarize the toolbox mentioned in [this](https://www.google.com/search?q=Chatter+book+pdf) book. 1. Use distanced self-talk: Refer to yourself using your name and the second-person "you." 2. Linked with less rumination and improved performance under stress. 3. Imagine advising a friend: Put yourself in the shoes of a friend and give advice to yourself. 4. Broaden your perspective: Compare your worries to other life events. Consider how others would handle the same situation. 5. Reframe your experience as a challenge: Change your perception from a threat to a manageable challenge. 6. Reinterpret your body's chatter response: Remind yourself that bodily stress symptoms are adaptive. 7. Normalize your experience: Use "you" when talking about negative experiences to gain distance. 8. Engage in mental time travel: Think about how you'll feel in the future, highlighting impermanence. 9. Change the view: Visualize events from a third-party perspective to gain insight. 10. Write expressively: Write about your negative experience for reflection and understanding. 11. Adopt the perspective of a neutral third party: Approach negative interactions with a mindset focused on the best outcome for all parties. 12. Clutch a lucky charm or embrace a superstition: Use objects or behaviors that you believe will help relieve chatter. 13. Perform a ritual: Create or engage in rituals for a sense of order and control during chatter.
