As one stressful day leads to another, it may feel like you’re walking through a fog of stress and worry.
Try this simple trick to climb out of a stressful moment to see things as they really are.
- Sit in a comfortable chair and close your eyes.
- Now, imagine your stress is like a dense, heavy fog that’s swirling around you.
- Take several deep breaths as you imagine standing and walking up a hill.
- With each step, softly say to yourself, relax and refresh, as you walk up the hill and the fog thins.
- Continue to imagine walking up the hill as the fog becomes thinner and thinner until you reach the top of the hill.
- Now, take a moment and look around. Below you is the fog of stress, churning and swirling.
- Before you are mountain tops, a bright blue sky, and a beautiful valley spreading out before you as far as you can see.
- Take several deep breaths as you softly say to yourself, relax and refresh.
Finish by resting several minutes above the hustle and bustle of stress at your feet.
