3 Ways To Get Calm and Centered
How do you cope when the unexpected occurs?
Do you resist by kicking and screaming?
Do you do everything you can to change what already is?
Do you argue and get agitated?
We have all been there at various junctures, when we are either shocked by events or perhaps too tired to deal with one more thing or the kids are all screaming for attention at the same time and thinking what to do next is simply too much. Whew!!!
So how do you stay sane and collect yourself after a forced change of course?
Wouldn’t it be great to get way less ruffled by outside circumstances?
Wouldn’t it be fantastic to know just what to say in the moment?
It would be great to approach moments like this when we are well rested and collected, but that’s not always the case.
So let’s see how we can collect ourselves in moments to re-center and re-focus:
1) Take a breath and notice how the air comes in with the inhale and releases with the exhale. When stressed, we tend to stop breathing or breathe very shallowly. It not only constricts the body, but starves the brain of oxygen so that our ability to solve problems is lessened.
2) Allow your eyes to scan the scene. By doing so, you are giving your brain and body a chance to reorient to your surroundings, which calms the nervous system, telling it that you are safe and not in danger.
3) Wiggle your fingers and toes. Sounds funny doesn’t it? What this does is to release excess energy in the system that could easily build up as anger and frustration and give us a sense that we need to struggle, fight or flee. It also rapidly brings us back into our body awareness, helping us to calm down and ground. Taking a walk will also help for the same reason.
Knowing that there is something you can consciously do in the more challenging moments can give you confidence and eliminate a sense of helplessness and I would like to invite you to a 30 minute complementary “Soul Discovery, Soul Recovery” session to help you deepen your sense of self resourcefulness.
