It doesn’t take much, only a conscious decision and some action to change your state.
With conscious effort, over time you build triggers – things that act as reset buttons/switches.
Pushups are one for me.
Positive mantras with every rep make them even more powerful.
You can write/type out all the shit to get it out of the system.
You also can change your mind by changing the body’s posture.
See, posture and mindset exist on a circular feedback loop, you can hack into it at any point.
While the military isn’t perfect about this, their chin up, chest up, shoulders back mantra is 85% of the way there.
Considering many are moping around at 10% or less, 85%+ is damn good.
Put a smirk on your face, and go stand in victory pose.
Take note of how you feel.
Now you know how to change your state.
