2 | Speak Truth to Anger — James 1:19-20
“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry…” Anger often rises when we assume, not listen. Counting to ten is good; quoting James 1 is better. Whisper the verse before replying. Explore more on keeping a gentle tongue in our Daily Verse & Prayer collection.
3 | Choose Joy — Psalm 42:11
The psalmist preaches to his own soul: “Why, my soul, are you downcast?… Put your hope in God.” Joy is not denial; it’s defiant hope. List three reasons God is still good— watch sadness loosen its grip.

5 | Fix Your Thoughts on the Good — Philippians 4:8
Whatever is true, noble, right, pure—think about such things. Create a “Philippians 4:8” playlist of music, podcasts, or verses. Mental atmosphere shapes emotional climate.
