As things get busier through December most of us can’t help getting stressed under the mounting pressure. And although it would be great to get away and leave it all behind, it’s not that easy.
But this simple technique can get the same results in just minutes. You might need to repeat it whenever things begin to mount up around you again.
The brain can’t tell the difference between something real or imagined. This means you can take an imaginary field trip at any moment in your day – a place, or a sanctuary, where you can go to calm down if feeling stressed or dis-ease.
Try it!
Close your eyes and for one minute, imagine yourself stepping into this serene scene. Imagine sitting on this tree swing, and gently rocking yourself back and forth as you gaze out at the expansive scene before you, feeling the sea breeze gracing your skin and the dappled light chasing across your closed eyelids.
With each swing back and forth, you let go of any tension you may be holding in your body, releasing the stresses of your day.
Know that anytime you need to return to this serene state, you can simply think “Swing” and it will be there for you, within you always.
