- React to the paranoia, hallucinations, and voices like you would react in a lucid dream; this includes conceptualizing your ability to direct or control the direction of such experiences without being consumed by them. You are not an idle spectator but rather a participant who is always invested with choice when it comes to your reaction. I've found the dream feeling to be the most successful, as it takes into account the irreal quality of paranoia, hallucinations, and voices.
- Keep in mind core values such as love, compassion, and understanding. These will not only prevent you from being too hard on yourself, but will also keep you from engaging in dangerous or transgressive activities.
- Seek out the grounding facets of other people's opinions. Have someone you can trust who you can report to regarding your revelations, musings, and ideas in order to remain grounded in consensus reality.
- Avoid making major decisions, such as travel plans or deciding on employment opportunities. Understand that you are allowed to make mistakes and have errors in judgment otherwise.
- Extract yourself from stressful situations.
- Don't take yourself so seriously.
