I have been working on doubt. Doubt can be powerful, but it is merely thought.
Perhaps ask yourself why doubt has come to tell you stories, but don't allow stories to masquerade as truth.
In a moment where you feel disconnected:
* Name 5 objects you can see
*Touch 4 objects and describe what they feel like
*Listen for 3 sounds
*Imagine or experience 2 tastes (tea, eat a chocolate slowly)
*Take 1 big breath

I've been delivering myself "I should" phrases instead of accepting feelings as they are. In an episode of Rick and Morty, Jerry (the father) yells "relaxation is a paradox!" I am working to acknowledge unwanted thoughts/feelings rather than scolding myself for having them.
