Behavioral techniques learned from clinic patients

1- One minute technique

In the absence of motivation to do anything, give yourself one minute to walk or go out, and if the minute is up you can stop and if you want to increase the time you can do that. Motivation follows activity and movement. In the case of depression, enthusiasm decreases and your motivation may disappear Performing an activity, even if it is very simple, will help Restore motivation and pleasure. Just try one minute

2- The technique of distracting from disturbing thoughts

Allocate time to memorize simple verses from the Qur’an, which corresponds to the time when anxiety usually increases, so your preoccupation with memorization will gradually distract attention, and then you can review what you have memorized to combat anxiety as well.

 

3- Relaxing the praises

Add praise to the breathing exercise that you practice. With every inhalation and exhalation, you can repeat praise that brings peace to your soul. Breathing is deep and slow until it gives the desired result.
