The following pieces of advice are from trainingzone.co.uk.
1. Act immediately
Don’t wait for the right moment to appear in the future: live in the present and follow your natural instincts.
2. Clear your mind
Find a way to disassociate yourself from any repetitive troublesome thoughts that appear in your mind. You won’t be able to prevent them recurring: the important thing is to accept them for what they are – mere thoughts which in themselves do not constitute reality.
3. Live in the present
This follows on from the previous point. Trying to solve imaginary problems of the future merely distracts you from dealing with more important issues in the present. After all, your fears for the future might never come true. Nor is there any sense in fretting over what has happened in the past since you have no way of changing this.
4. Self-awareness
Monitor yourself during your daily routine. Be conscious of your feelings, body posture, what is going through your mind and how you would like to be.
5. Practice mindfulness
Take control of your thoughts in situations which typically give rise to stress, such as being caught in a traffic jam or waiting for a delayed transport connection. Focus on your body and what is happening each time you make a minor movement of, say, an arm or leg. Next, concentrate on the sights, sounds and smells in your vicinity. Sooner or later your mind will begin to wander. As soon as you become aware of this happening, make the necessary adjustment so that your thoughts return to the immediate surroundings.
