I'm more auditory than visual. A phrase than can help instantaneously (when I remember to use it) is "I give thanks for help unknown already on the way." Cuts through panic when I'm feeling desperate about a situation but have run out of ideas about ways to change it.
I don't remember where I got the phrase, maybe read it somewhere, but definitely didn't make it up myself. Still effective for me.
When I'm working with clients in session and tell them about an image that comes to mind, they often change it in unexpected ways and make it their own. In two different sessions recently, I brought up enlarging the emotional container. One client talked about buying a larger thermos at an army supply store, and another person talked about a water tower. Whatever it takes!
