5. Exercise. A walk in the woods, a yoga or
dance class, whatever gets your body moving. Bodies are meant to move; and when they don’t, things get stuck, slug- gish, sticky, and sick (and that goes for the mind too.)
6. Practice Mindfulness. YOU have the power over your
own mind! Not the other way around. YOU choose how you want to feel. It takes practice and the more you realize it, the easier it will get. It is perfectly acceptable to say: “Hey (insert emotion here), I appreciate your insights, but this is not how I want to feel right now. You are just one of many feelings I have and I am not letting you have the driver’s seat and upstage all the other emo- tions.” Reframe your reaction and pick another feeling to focus on. Rename those feelings; that fear? It’s exhilara- tion! Practice gratitude and spend your precious time thinking about the abundance and good things surround- ing you. This creates a feedback loop of increasing positive energy. Change what you can, let go of what you can’t. Love yourself, and remember it takes practice to change these thought processes.
Sound overwhelming? You do not
have to do this alone! We are all strug- gling to make this thing called life work. There are people out here who can help you with medicine, advice, or a quiet ear. Find the support you need and what works for you, whether it be acupunc- ture, counseling, physical training, etc.
