HOW TO RELAX WHEN GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE
For some people the stress of divorce can make them feel totally overwhelmed.
There are lots of relaxation and stress relieving techniques and my favourite two are as follows:-
- Breathe.
Concentrating on your breathing has an amazing calming effect. Breathe in for seven seconds. Breathe out for eight seconds and repeat this four times and you have concentrated simply on your breathing for one minute. Your racing mind will have slowed down.
Getting into the habit of breathing deeply helps you to switch off. Please believe that doing this twice daily really can help.
- Picture your perfect day.
This form of visualisation is fun and helps to draw you out of your worries. Imagine where you would wake up? What country are you in? Who are you with? A movie star?
The key to the success of this form of visualisation is to add detail.
Imagine the colour, what you are wearing, what the weather is like, the sounds. Are you by the ocean or skiing perhaps?
Have you just cashed in your winning lottery ticket?
Whatever your dream, it’s your perfect day and this provides an escape where you can return to any time you need to relax.
