answer:It’s called a “mantra” and has been a part of meditation, relaxation and religion for hundreds of years. You can use a traditional Sanscrit word or phrase or invent one of your own. For example, “I am coping.” Breath in on “I am” and out on “coping.” Using the breath and the repetition keeps you in the moment and helps you from letting your mind wander. Here’s one site Google “mantra” for many other interesting sites. Edit; Say your mantra slowly. Start by sitting quietly, eyes closed with your hands relaxed on the arms of the chair, palms up. If you can stay focused for five minutes, you’re on your way. I use this technique in the doctor’s office, before I have my B/P taken. This can be done anywhere except while driving.
