The way
This exercise is a kind of self-healing, a kind of self-psychotherapy. It is a combination of active and reactive techniques, intended to bring a balance.
The logic of the technique is based on the so-called grounding. In other words, you learn to have stability and control, both of your mind and your body.
So the first step is to close your eyes and imagine a place that calms and soothes you. Visualize every corner of this place. Hear the sounds and smell its smell. It’s important to get there mentally. Feel it as real.
Breathe and in every breath take in the peace of the landscape. With your imagination you shape your reality.
The second step is to find a word that represents that place, that feeling. Once you find it, repeat it a few times. Essentially, you use speech to make that feeling real. Give it life, through the word.
The third step is rhythm. Place your hands on your thighs and play a slow rhythm, tapping one hand and the other. This technique is called bilateral stimulation, which soothes and calms the brain.
So this exercise will help you control your stress. All you need to do for it to be successful is to spend two to three minutes every morning and keep the same image and the same word.
So you will learn to ground the stress and start your day in a good mood.
