The Headspace app is the best out there and I start every morning with 10 minutes of it. One helpful thing I learned in therapy to stop the downhill spiral of negative thoughts is to stop and pay attention to your senses. Look around and note three colors, three sounds, three things you’re feeling (seat beneath you, soft blanket, etc.). This instantly pulls you back to the present moment and breaks the chain of negative thoughts. :]

You know how you think something in your head, then you say it out loud and it sounds ridiculous? It’s all about perspective. 😉
