Practices that may help

1. Seligman’s PERMA Model, Made Practical
   Martin Seligman’s PERMA model identifies five pillars of well-being: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Unlike happiness models that treat well-being as a single variable, PERMA argues these five elements are each intrinsically valued and each independently improvable. Several PERMA-targeted interventions have randomized-trial support; others are mechanistically grounded with less direct evidence.
2. Inventory your coping resources (secondary appraisal)
   After identifying the threat, systematically assess what you actually have to work with — your options are likely more than the stressed mind sees.

3. Run a PERMA audit of your current well-being
   Rate each of the five PERMA pillars to find which is currently limiting your overall flourishing.

6. Learned Optimism: Seligman’s ABCDE Method
   Learned optimism, from Martin Seligman’s research program, teaches you to identify and dispute the pessimistic explanations you generate automatically after setbacks — using his ABCDE model (Adversity, Belief, Consequence, Disputation, Energization). Clinical and observational research links shifting from pessimistic to flexible explanatory style to reduced depression risk and better persistence; effects are real but modest, and the goal is accuracy, not forced positivity.
7. Use social context to shift zone boundaries
   What is panic alone often becomes stretch when done alongside someone more comfortable in that domain.

8. Positive Psychology, Made Practical
   Martin Seligman’s positive psychology studies what makes life worth living, organized around the PERMA model — Positive emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. Several of its signature interventions, including three good things, the gratitude visit, and using signature strengths, have genuine randomized-trial support for raising well-being and lowering depressive symptoms.
9. Shift from one-person to two-person psychology
   Stop managing your distress alone and start managing it together.
   Secure-Functioning Relationships
10. Match coping mode to what is actually controllable
    Use problem-focused coping when you can change the situation; emotion-focused coping when you cannot.
