What tips, tricks, and hacks do you use?

My morning anxiety is horrendous. I will full blown spiral into a ruminating mess. But today I tried something new: not to trust or give any true weight to any anxious thoughts before 10 am and to focus on thinking about a color when my thoughts wanted to spiral. When my mind wanted to panic about a conversation I had yesterday, I just thought about the color purple and kept my mind there for a few moments.

And.. it sorta worked. Then my meds kicked in and I felt more grounded lol

What helps you?
