A way to distract the mind from thought, Mantram (or mantra) is the practice of silently repeating (in the “mind’s ear”) certain syllables or phrases. While associated with religious practice, mantram may also serve as a purely secular method of diverting attention from troublesome thoughts in order to reduce anxiety, anger, and stress. Select an appropriate word or phrase and try repeating it, as a tool to interrupt negative thinking.
