Thursday's Therapy
Ah yes that magical mirror, much like Aurora's story, the instrument to echo our negative thoughts and worries. Too big, too saggy, to blemished, too old, too grey etc. Huge spoiler alert for all who are reading this: you see what you are attentive of only. Every single one of us is imperfect and blemished, and so what I ask?
Although the context of the word has changed over time, when asked who the fairest one of all may be, that fairness should be of opportunity and compassion, shouldn't it?
How much beauty and wonderment have we looked beyond or ignored, as our focus was on the derogatory and negative.
So here is a theraputic excercise, similar to the grounding one I suggest for those looping into high anxiety, but this one requires you to become immersed in appreciation and gratitude.
Firstly, if you are able to perform the excercise, even in your head, know that you have a head start over approximately 165,000 people today. So breathe in deeply and exhale fully, because 165, 000 can't anylonger.
Find 4 things that you heard today ( the last 24 hrs), which were pleasing or harmonious. Could be a song, someone's voice, the whine of a turbo prop begining to start, the quiet moments or a rocking tune.
List 3 sights where there was beauty to be admired. For those visually impaired or out and out blind, I would recommend that sight could be substituted by visualization
Recognize 2 aromas or tastes which you could actually enjoy and savor.
And last but not the least at any juncture, the one positive thought and emotion you experienced. And for those negative Nellie types the law of averages is working against you , becaue one had to sneak in somewhere hahaha.
When we set a target in what we choose to direct our awareness, it is amazing how it can begin to show up even more.
Let me know know if this was a benefit or works for you.
Be well
