So what do I know about myself now that I didn't know
Before my therapist gave me the homework assignment that
As it happens, presents itself in three steps?
Well—before offering you the answer to that riddle
Let's take a brief look at each of those steps, one at a time:
Step One
Whenever you feel more irritated than peaceful, stop to
Identify the exact feeling that's disrupting your sense of calm
Step Two
Notice how your body feels.
Where is the tension?
What is your body language 'telling' you?
How are you breathing?
Step Three
Now that you've named the feeling, let it emerge so you can feel it and
Breathe. As you breathe into it, you will feel emotion 'move' through you
Now, having clearly expressed the simplicity of this three step plan of action, can you
Guess how performing this mental exercise, several times daily, will serve to
Create change for the better from irritability toward naturally regaining
Peace of mind in record time?
Today's post offers up two riddles for your consideration:
So what have I learned about myself that I didn't know
Before my therapist gave me the homework assignment that
As it happens, presents itself in three steps?
And
Can you guess how performing this mental exercise
Several times daily, serves to create change for the better from
Irritability toward regaining peace of mind in record time?
Hmmm ...
Perhaps you, too, would like to give this homework assignment a go
You see, after cluing my therapist into the fact that I'd been penning
A series of posts concerning my desire to consciously prolong
Spells of peace of mind, she wrote each step of this assignment on
A piece of paper, which was handed to me without so much as
A hint of insight as to how my natural reactions might benefit from
Actively engaging in this mindful exercise several times, every day, and
Knowing that I’ve gained that insight on my own, my think tank can be
Readily compared to that of a mathematician, charged with solving for X—
Ohhhmm ...
