2. Every feeling is temporary
When we’re happy, we’re like, “How can I make this feeling last forever?” But then when we’re sad, we’re like, “How can I make this feeling go away right away?” But they’re both very similar in the sense that they’re both temporary. Recognizing that both will pass is useful.

3. Breathe
How you breathe dictates how you feel. How you feel dictates how you breathe. Two inhalations with one extended exhalation is the quickest way to bring your body to a state of rest.

4. When in doubt, zoom out
Everyone is silently dealing with something you know nothing about. So, trying to be kind, always, offering help, whenever you can offer it, that’s most important.

5. Be gentle with yourself
“If I spoke to my friends the way that I speak to myself sometimes, how long would I have that friend for?”

6. Strengthen your mind
Whether it’s breathing or meditation or whatever suits your needs, doing whatever you can regularly to make sure your mind is sharp and strong will allow you to lift heavy weights of emotions.
