What do you do when you become very anxious? There are techniques you can use to become centered and discover a new solution to a problem. I learned the following process a while ago and find that I have a less stressful experience and better solutions when I use it. Following are the steps:
- Recognize the stressful feeling. Take a time out!
- Purposely shift your focus away from your racing mind or disturbed emotions to the area around your heart. Pretend that you are breathing through your heart to help focus your energy in this area. Keep your focus there for at least 10 seconds.
- Recall a positive, fun feeling or time you have had in life and attempt to re-create it. Appreciation works well.
- Using your intuition, common sense and sincerity, ask your heart what would be a more efficient response to the situation. You want to create a response that will minimize future stress.
- Listen to what your heart says in answer to your question. This is an effective way to put your reactive mind and emotions in check and come up with common-sense solutions.
You wonderful analytical types and skeptics out there may find it difficult to be open to the heart's wisdom. Please just try it. Our hearts create a strong energetic field and affects the rhythms of the entire body. Our heart responds differently when we are frustrated or loving.
