- Body Health: Exercise, wake up early, drink water, and get a good night's sleep

- Be Present: avoid multitasking, distractions, waiting for X to do Y, or "sticking it out"
- Write Things Down: journal to document and "crack the nut" plus gratitude list
- Negative Self Talk: ask better questions about your situation, such as: What's good about this? What action will you take moving forward? Is the thing you're worried about always true in all circumstances?
- Be Independent: You are in control. Even if luck or people get you down,
- Be Positive: Why did you get started with your business in the first place? What used to get you excited?
- Triggers, states, habits, responses
