Day 10
As you put together your list of ten things that quickly bring you back to center, make sure several take only 30 seconds to 1 minute.
With that in mind, I highly recommend that the top things on the list include:
A Favorite Essential Oil - One that you LOVE. Olfactory, or scent, bypasses the limbic mind and can truly help rewire. Keep this on you, or nearby at all times... in your pocket or purse. You can get small vials that fit easily and are discreet if necessary (work, etc.). You can also imagine your happy place (the beach, your easy chair, etc.)
Breath Practices - One deep breath to center, or certain breathing techniques, are always available and should be at the top of your list as well (including doing so with your hand on your high heart or RA center). Slow Exhale and Box Breathing are examples.
Focused Neck and Spine Stretching/elongation also signal your nervous system...
Humming for at least 30 seconds or more. If that brings you into center.
Just make sure you have "go-to practices" you can do anytime, anyplace, with ease.
Also - if you are finding yourself stuck - please do some non-dominant handwriting, with gentle prompts to uncover what is hiding or ready to be revealed, with as much ease as possible. Remember, it's not about being able to read it afterward; it's the release and what surfaces in your consciousness.
