We all have a lot going on in our lives and it is easy to get caught up in it. The result may be feeling overwhelmed or like pieces of you are scattered all around. Some of my clients describe feeling drained, not fully present, or just stressed about all they are trying to do.
The following visualization has supported many of my clients in returning to a more peaceful and empowered state. I hope it supports you, as well.
- Find a quiet, peaceful place (if possible)
- Take a few deep breaths, allowing yourself to come into a relaxed state
- Visualize pieces of yourself scattered around you and maybe even at a distance
- Form an intention to draw them back in and become whole again
- Breathe in deeply and as you breathe in visualize the scattered parts returning to you
- Sit quietly for a few minutes breathing in and out and enjoying the feeling of wholeness
good tips, why is it at we always forget to breath when we are overwhelmed. Mmmmm?
There have been times when I actually noticed I was holding my breath. How weird is that?
I needed this! With job searching, I am getting completely stressed to the max, and don’t know what decision to make! Thank you !
So glad it helped. Good luck withe the job search.
I definitely like to take some time for myself when I get overwhelmed! Great tips! I definitely need to actually think about my breathing in times of great stress.
The nice thing about breathing is that it is a tool that is with us wherever we go.
I use breathing to help me release tension and slow down. It is a real gift. Very nice post.
I think breathing is the number one way. I was just doing it a moment ago.
