If you're like most of us, stress gets the upper hand more often than you'd like.
But wouldn't it be nice to just easily stop stress right in its tracks?
On this Mother's Day weekend, it's my pleasure to share a very simple "I Am, Relaxed Technique" that you can use no matter where you are or who you're with.
Here's all you do if you're stressed, overworked, overwhelmed or even annoyed with your loved ones.
- Just quickly shut your eyes if you can -- don't do this while driving though. (If you're with people, just do this with your eyes open.)
- Take a deep breath in while inwardly thinking, "I Am." Then hold your breath to the count of 3.
- Then exhale slowly while thinking "Relaxed."
- Repeat 3 times.
It's that simple. As my patients have found, this "I Am, Relaxed Technique™" works wonders.
It calms you down and takes you out of your frantic frame of mind.
As many of you may know, that simple technique is
only one of many that I teach, as you can discover here.
- Cookie-Cutter Technique™ (one of my favorites)
- Hand-Over-Heart Technique™ (a wonderful one to use when you're with other people)
- Late-Night, Prevent-Pig-Out Technique™ (this comes in mighty handy when your loved ones are all in bed and sweets seem to "call out" to you)
