“Remember the last time you teared up during a movie? Or felt your stomach drop while riding a roller coaster? Your brain isn’t the best at differentiating real from imagined, so you must choose what you tell it wisely, says Leena S. Guptha, DO, the academic dean of online education at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine.

‘Positive mantras are so critical. The subconscious mind is most open to helpful and beneficial suggestions while we are in a relaxed state,’ Guptha says.

Repeat this strong statement right after waking up to counteract any negative thoughts and habits before they arise.”
