Stress relief self help tips help you to remain in your center, balanced and able to create your everyday magic and synchronicity.
You get to choose who you are being in each moment. As a result, you’re in the driver’s seat in terms of shifting your thoughts and feelings that comprise your personal energy balance in each moment. Anytime you begin to feel yourself getting stressed and out of your center, shift back. Doing this helps you to prevent your day from running away from you and helps you to keep your energy balance intact.
Here are three quick stress relief self help techniques you can use to create and maintain your centered balance each day:
1) Breathe Deeply from Your Belly:
Take at least five minutes in both the morning and evening to center yourself through deep belly breathing. Breathing gets you back into your center and aligns you with your Soul
Place your hand on your belly, blow out all the air from your lungs as much as you can through your slightly opened mouth, then take a deep breath in through your nostrils, filling your lower lung first. You will see and feel your hand moving outward as you do this. Continue filling your lung, moving upwards until you feel like your chest is chock full of air. Hold for a count of four then slowly release the air through your mouth.
As you inhale, feel yourself breathing in any two combinations of Peace, Love, Wisdom, Abundance, Joy by saying to yourself: ‘I Am Peace and Joy’ or ‘I Am Love and Wisdom’. As you exhale, breathe out all stress, anxiety and fear, saying ‘I release all anxiety and fear’.
2) Release Your Pent-Up Emotion:
It’s a great idea to learn how to release all pent up emotions regularly to help you to keep relaxed, centered and Soul-aligned while you create your highest vision of your passionate and fully self expressed life.
A quick easy way that I’ve used for years is to allow myself regular time to release and express all pent up emotions. You’ll need to lock your door when you set aside some private, alone time. You’ll also need a glass of drinking water, a pillow or two and either a radio, music or television.
Take a few minutes to remember what upset you over the past day or two, allowing yourself to fully feel any emotions that you experienced. Turn up the radio, music or TV and use your pillow to muffle loud sounds. Cry, vent, curse, sob, laugh.. whateverrrr. Allow, in the privacy of your safe space, the full release of all emotions that didn’t get a chance to be honoured and expressed at the time you originally felt them.
The emotions will come up in waves, so allow yourself at least 10 minutes each day for this for the first two or three weeks. You will be amazed at how empty and refreshed you will feel once you get into the rythym of this. Always give thanks for the release and always visualize your body filled up and surrounded with loving and healing purple energy. This will help to finish up any emotional cleansing as you go about the rest of your day.
3) Write Your Morning Pages:
This is another technique that I’ve used for aeons to help me cleanse my heart and mind of ‘stuff’, leaving me free to create my day freshly and passionately. I first learnt it from Julia Cameron’s book “The Artist’s Way”.
Get a notebook to use for your Morning Pages and wake up 15 minutes earlier than you usually do. It’s important that you do this first thing as you awaken, perhaps after going to the bathroom. Write everything that comes to mind or heart. Anything and everything. This is your private book that no one else will see. Fill one and a half pages or sheets (three sides) full of all your thoughts, all your feelings. If you can’t think or feel a thing… write that. The key is to completely fill three sides of notebook paper first thing in the morning, every morning.
Do this for one month BEFORE you review anything of what you have written. You’ll be amazed at the stuff that was taking up all that space within you. You will get many insights into what bothers you deep down inside, what makes you happy, and what issues you are ready to work through in your life.
OK, there you go. You’re now armed with three deceptively simple but highly powerful stress relief self help techniques. I cannot recommend these Stress Busters highly enough. I use them all the time and always get great feedback from those I teach them to.
These stress management self help tips will help you if you feel stressed, overwhelmed and anxious. They are also excellent for increasing and expressing your creativity more fully in your daily life. Increased creativity is the mother of all abundance so enjoy the process of centering each day and reaping the rewards of full self expression as a great bonus.
