"another technique which is very very simple and it almost sounds a little gimmicky but it's very effective is to talk to yourself in the third person. So rather than saying, 'Oh my god, I need to get a grip.' You say, 'Maya, you need to get a grip.'"
Attribution: Guest explicitly recommends this technique, calling it very effective and providing a clear example of how to use it
