Calm your thoughts and emotions.
What?
Locate a picture, painting or object that is precious to you, and spend a few minutes looking at it, noticing what you love.
Why?
Connect to your sense of well-being through the sensory stimuli that most appeals to you. Most people favour one of the main three – visual (seeing), auditory (hearing) or kinaesthetic (feeling). Once you know your preference, fill your private space with it for a daily boost.
Generate or recall strategies for positive thinking and breakthrough ideas.
What?
Who in your close circle gives you loving touch, i.e. is tactile with you in a loving way (hugs, touches on the arm). This can also include people who touch your heart with little messages or notes or pictures or similar.
Make a mental note of each person.
Why?
People love you in the way that feels natural for them, not necessarily in the way you prefer. Recognise love in its many forms, and allow all the people who love and appreciate you, to show you that love in their own unique way.
Boost your energy, focus and self-esteem.
What?
In what ways are you generous? Take 20 minutes and write down all the ways you have been generous, big and small, to anyone and everyone.
Why?
Self-esteem begins to grow when you learn to recognise and accept the essence of yourself, the things that define you, and the choices you’ve made that show up in your presence. Allow yourself to notice the wonderful person you already are.
Tackle self-criticism, self-sabotage, and harmful habits.
What?
A hand or whole body exercise that shifts from left to right, integrates left and right brain thinking, logic and emotions. With any hand, trace a figure eight (8) on its side, so the circles are drawn from left to right, rather than up or down. Do this several times. If desired, expand to both hands, and then your whole body. Whole body is like belly dancing.
Why?
Feelings have a physical correspondence. E.g. worry hunches your shoulders, pain makes you tense. Moving your body can literally change your mood.
