A DBT and ACT skill is being mindful that "you are not your thoughts". It is important to not act on your thoughts and to take a step back.

Before engaging in any self-destructive behavior, use the DBT halt skill. Ask yourself if you are hungry, angry, lonely, or tired.

Hunger can lead to mood swings and affect our ability to make decisions and lower impulse control. Eat something nutritious and stay hydrated.

When we are angry or experiencing negative emotions, we may not be able to think rationally. Try using other DBT skills to calm down first.

We all experience loneliness at times in our lives. Reach out to someone with whom you have positive experiences with.

When we are physically and emotionally tired, we are often more likely to engage in more negative thinking patterns. Try getting 7-9 hours of sleep at night and keep a consistent sleep schedule.
