It is time for part two of the last letter I was addressing.
You are absolutely on the right track with your reliving pleasant thoughts. You have been experiencing a tremendous number of outside stresses. I often use pleasant memories to fill myself with good feelings as I fall asleep. Once I feel the powerful positive emotions, I can allow my challenges to enter into my thoughts. Releasing any emotion or expectations to how these events turn out, I focus on the good feelings I have just created and know that always my life turns our for the best. I then fall asleep, feeling good and asking what my next step is, what I want to do in this matter. It is amazing how I often will either dream my solutions or awaken with a thought that helps me move forward .
Allow time each day to “detox” from the stresses and pains of the day. Take two minutes to breath deeply and as you do, listen to your body. Notice how you feel, become aware of your heart beat, develop a sense of your body occupying the space you are in. Continue to breathe deeply and begin to affirm to yourself, “I deserve peace, serenity and joy. My thoughts are clear and I remain focused.” Do this through out the day as needed.
Hi Debbie, are you aware of Tai-Chi? These are also breathing exercises coupled with minimal exercise.
These are good pointers you have posted. Thanks for sharing.
Although I have not participated in Tai-Chi, I am aware of it’s benefits. It is on my to do list, as a matter of fact. Thanks for the reminder!
I thought last night would be a very good time to start trying this. Unfortunately it was the first night back for our cat who had been farmed out while we were away. He made his displeasure known in no uncertain terms, so pleasant thoughts escaped me! Tonight I’ll try again 🙂
something tells me that tonight your pleasant thoughts begin with when the cat was away on vacation!
