For me it was these.
“A focused fool can accomplish more than a distracted genius”
“Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter”
These two quotes really helped get my @** in gear.

Here Comes a Thought from Steven Universe was genuinely life-changing for me. It’s all about mindfulness and allowing yourself to process negative thoughts without punishing yourself for having them.
This episode came when I was really struggling with anxiety, like multiple crying breakdowns a week. It finally lead me to getting therapy and I’m in a much better place now, but I still come back to it when I’m feeling overwhelmed.

Thank you for reminding me of that song and giving me a reason to think more deeply about it. It already was a gorgeous moment in the show but I didn’t dig into it too deeply until your comment. The “looking at your thoughts without judgement” part is the hardest part for me.
The thing with thoughts and feelings is that they can be investigated by other thoughts, and the more you dispassionately investigate them the more you create distance between consciousness and this or that thought, and the more distance you have the less likely you’re to be swept into them and more likely to regain your footing faster if you are.
