5 ways to Change Perspective
Change Perspective, Re-energise and feel Happy with these tips
Every client who leaves my classes feels refreshed, reenergised and light with a huge smile on their face almost jumping to their next destination!
What I often have to remind them of is that THEY did the work and I have helped them with what to do but the biggest thing is what they need is ALL in their ability! I hope these reminders help you to feel empowered to add these to your daily life to feel that magic you’ve just read about or if you are a client - you can feel that magic outside of your sessions too!
#1 Breathe
When doing this breathwork exercise - try think of it as a nourishing breath in! This helps to increase your inhale, filling your lungs and allowing your body to soak up that oxygen it has been craving!
BOX BREATH TECHNIQUE
Breathe in for 4 counts – hold for 4 counts – breathe out for 4 counts
Repeat this 10 times and when 4 counts is easy when exhaling increase the exhale to 6 counts. Keep your eyes closed and keep the breath only through your nose.
Breath work calms you down, help you focus, reduces anxiety, relaxes your body and helps you to keep going with your daily activities with self belief and a more positive perspective.
#2 Stillness
For alot of us meditation is too difficult to attempt on our own so listening to guided meditations are helpful or
Sitting outside for a few minutes staring at the leaves on a tree
Shadow watching
Or escaping to watch the waves
Some of these may sound WEIRD but it is a way to help your brain downshift and allowing your day to process whats been happening and let your brain rest for a moment even if it doesn’t feel like it at first. You are not alone if your mind wonders - its so common and natural and your entire to do list will keep coming up - try let those just pass by or write it down but don’t get sucked into putting it on your phone and checking messages! Its about just making a quick note and getting back to stillness as quick as possible!
You can build the time - when first starting, 5 minutes might feel like an hour so slowly increase time when you are ready, just don’t give up as its a process that works better the more you make time for it. The magic will come just be consistent
#3 Go
Move out of the area you have been sitting in for a few hours.
Sit somewhere else or go for a walk around the block.
Set an alarm every hour so you can remember to get up and leave the area so you can feel fresh. Sometimes leaving a jug of water on the other side of the house or office making an excuse to go upstairs helps your mind shift gears a bit.
#4 Light a candle or…
Did you know lighting a candle can help shift energy around you and shift it to being more positive?
No candle? If you are home you can boil lemon, vanilla and rosemary to liven up the energy around you.
No kitchen? A bell usually works to shift energy not many of us have bells - so you could just tap a glass with a spoon, walk around doing this a few times who knows you might get lunch served! (just kidding)
I now this sounds a bit weird but if you are alone what do you have to lose?
#5 Get fresh
Get outside and walk around! Having your trainers handy if you are at work is a great idea as that helps you to feel comfortable to do this. Walking shifts energy, getting outside renews perception and looking at nature creates presence.
