A Youtube comment of the above video:

Step 1. [Relabel:] Say what your feeling

Step 2. [Reframe/Reattribute:] Tell yourself these deceptive brain messages are false

Step 3. [Refocus:]Focus on something different

Step 4. [Revalue:] Revalue the situation

My new mantra for the refocus step of staying busy or on task (as a non-avoidant way of giving priority to positive behaviors rather than unhelpful obsessive thoughts): "Catch me if you can."
