If you are having negative thoughts, envision a stop sign on your mind 😃

STOP is also a common DBT acronym for what to do in a crisis. smiley

S: Stop, and force yourself to take a pause

T: Take a step back. Take a mental step back, and take a deep breath. Pause yourself for a moment. This will help you avoid acting impulsively.

O: Observe. Mindfully look at the situation. Notice what's happening and how you feel.

P: Proceed mindfully. Use the information you found from observing, and take the action that you have decided will have the best short term and long term results.

Hope this helps :D
