I can't avoid all the triggers, so I work on mindfulness and distress tolerance quite a bit. I don't watch much on TV except animal and science shows, and even then I catch them trying to make some drama out of it.

I listen to soothing music. There's an instrumental chill station on Pandora, as well as a spa music channel.

I have lots of people on FB who stay optimistic and encouraging about going after one's dreams. That helps quite a bit. They're making money too, but I look for the free stuff.

My daughter is pretty much a drama person, but I usually let her stuff roll off of me. Unfortunately, she'll get my husband riled up and I have to deal with that.
