A QUICK & SIMPLE EXERCISE TO FEEL GOOD
It’s January, the silly season is over, perhaps leaving you feeling flat. The days are short, dark, cold, rainy, overcast and cloudy. Yuck & argh. Do the winter months make you feel as if you are walking up hill wearing shoes of cement, anxious, miserable, lacking in confidence & self-esteem, downtrodden, unhappy, sad, self-conscious or any other negative emotions?
Here is a quick and simple exercise you can do to give yourself a boost:
- Stand up
- Put your shoulders back
- Stand tall. Think there is a piece of string pulling your spine and head up
- Pull your tummy in
- Close your eyes
- Breathe from your tummy (diaphragm) regularly and evenly and slowly
- See standing in front of you, the you, you want to be. The happy confident, secure etc you
- Now see, feel, sense that YOU
- Take your time
- When you are ready walk into THAT YOU
- Feel and sense all those positive good feelings of that other you
- Once you do, press your thumb and index finger together and feel those good positive feelings getting bigger and stronger
- As you breathe slowly in, feel you’re breathing in positivity and “lightness” and breathing out any “stuckness”, “toxicity”, anything that’s not doing you any good
- Your breathe is the anchor of your attention
- When you are ready open your eyes and bring back with you the new you
You can do this exercise as often as you wish.
