Haven't tried this method yet, but what the heck. You snooze you lose.

I did this when I was a teenager and it was surprisingly effective at helping me get out of a depressive period.

Instead of barking I would drown out the negative with a small, pre-thought up, positive sentence about myself. When I caught the negative thoughts, I'd drown them out with it in my head.

i do it with little songs or like jazz scatting (lol).

But it doesn't help for nighttime lying in bed (especially if my partner is asleep) - so for that I use the method where you consciously check in and stop moving and relax each muscle in your body as granulary as you can - toes, heels, tops of feet, ankles, calves... all the way up to head.
