Life’s a rollercoaster and when you’re at your lowest, it’s easy to feel powerless. In this downward spiral, your rock bottom causes a self-fulfilling prophecy — of letting your emotions get the better of you and giving up entirely.

With your emotions in the driving seat, it can be hard to think rationally. A fuzzy brain, an inability to focus, and a rising panic, you’ll end up trudging through your days feeling completely lost.

This is not an uncommon feeling and we’ve all experienced it. Knowing this, psychologists have developed the following tools to boost your confidence and get you back to your best.

“Defeat is ninety-five percent the condition and attitude of the heart and not the result of the struggle. We are defeated before we even put up the fight, that’s why psychological warfare works!” ― Dr. Lucas D. Shallua
