Hello and welcome to this session focusing on when we have low amounts of stress…
We all get stressed daily but sometimes we aren’t even aware that we are stressed…
Stress doesn’t have to be a thought or even a reaction… it could be sitting somewhere in your body, lingering as long as you are unaware of it……..
Think about a time when you were worried… did this worry also make you feel drained or tired?...
That’s because every time we are worried we have a low level of stress present, and what causes stress is not worry but our reaction to worry………
Did you know that each human has about 50,000 thoughts a day?
If we believed all of these thoughts, we would surely get ourselves into trouble…
So, instead, realize that thoughts simply come and go….
That our thoughts are not truly who we are.
When we take a step back from all these thoughts, we can observe them better and see them for what they are….just passing moments of thinking…..
Attaching too much emotion to one stressful thought can disrupt our day, and our entire lives.
[pause for 7 seconds]
Let’s step away now from our thoughts and worries by just becoming aware of our body………
Feel how the air around you hugs to the shape of your body………
Notice how you can willingly activate all of your senses, hear all the sounds around you……..
Hear your own breath…….when you breathe a little bit deeper, can you smell anything?.......you can even imagine you smell something, and your mind can create the thought of it for you…..….imagine the smell of vanilla………can you remember how it smells?.........good……..now notice your fingertips and feel what are touching and feeling right now…..….and become aware of your feet………notice how the soles of your feet feel right now…..….good…..….and just become aware of your entire body right now…..….
Feeling different areas……..
Becoming aware of your body through focusing takes you out of your thoughts, so use this technique when worry, or light stress rises in your mind.
