  4. Real breaks to reset and rejuvenate, avoiding social media or news feeds
  5. Presence, limiting focus to a single activity and resisting the urge to multitask
  6. Incorporating a mantra such as "I'm enough" or "I'm strong," in daily life to replace negative self-talk
  7. Reconnecting with self, whether by formal meditation or simply being quiet
