TIPS - Connecting to myself

RELAXING MY MIND

RELAXING MY BODY

Everyone is different, so I need to choose what makes me feel well. And I need to have the discipline to do it every day, over and over. Repetition brings comfort, and repeating something I like doing expends my comfort zone even more.

Also, as my life evolves, something that suits me today may not suit me tomorrow. It is therefore OK too to evolve the activities I do every day to relax.

There is a long list to help relax minds - and none of them are specific to the Puzzle. To quote the most famous: avoid excessive screen time and in particular before sleep, eat balanced, do some physical activity, meditate, or be kind to myself.


The following 3 tips are less known but equally helpful, as they are simple and can be done anywhere:

1. Take a few minutes each day and do nothing. Set the alarm not to worry about the time I am granting to myself. Just breathe and pause for a bit!

2. List 5 little things I like to do, and find them every day. They shall be accessible: an achievement I am easily able to make everyday. For instance : read every day, laugh every day, learn something new every day (which can be as simple as reading an article in the newspapers), etc.

3. List 30 personal items I am or would like to be (ex. I am free, I am successful, I am positive, etc.). Find 1 minute every day: read this list out loud, plus associate a gesture to each item. This process reprograms my brain, to believe in everything on that list.

The objective is to complement the information feeding my Filter, and counterbalance the inputs from my Ego. The more physically relaxed I am, the more my Filter will have another perspective on the threats around me.


The following exercises can help my body achieve so:

- At the end of the day, once in bed, take a few minutes to check how I am.

- If I am tense, I can take deep breaths and relax my body as the air comes in and out.

- If 2 parts of my body are tense (and it has to be 2 for the trick to work!), then I can close my eyes and concentrate on these 2 pain points to make them go away. I can shift from one to the other, or stay on one, then shift. What my attention does at first is that it amplifies the physical tension, until it magically makes it go away. It is therefore stressful, before it is a relief.
Before I start, I should thus tell my Ego that nothing bad will happen (so it does not panic as the pain increases before it goes away!). Useful too to remember that this process never lasts more than 2 minutes. No thinking is involved, just to focus on the 2 parts of my body that are tense.

- Before falling asleep, I can also tell myself how I would like to sleep. For instance, ‘I want to sleep deeply and wake up rested’.

- Last, before I get up in the morning, I can take 1 or 2 minutes and ask myself how I would like to live the day, and immerge myself in this sensation. So I have at the back of my mind this feeling throughout the day.
