✨ Wednesday Whisper 12/14/22
Dec 14, 2022
Here's your Wednesday Whisper for today!
I've had my bouts of stress with health issues the past few months; it stretched my comfort zone and was draining.
But that's snow from yesterday.
Today as I wrote this whisper and saw my prep list for my trip to Germany, I felt a sting in my chest. And the "oh-boy-how-will I…." showed up. Ready to cause anxiety.
But to notice this is the first step, and acting to change it with tools that work is the second.
So, I wrote
REFRAME
On a sticky note.
Read on if you want to be calmer when stressed out.
Here are two things to pay attention to when you want to feel calmer.
- You have a choice.
I know to face the truth that you have a choice can trigger your defense mechanism when you're in the thick of it. But deep down, you know it's true!!
- Be real.
Real is to be grounded in the truth of what is happening to you. Not what your thoughts tell you.
Accept that and REFRAME
Be fully aware of being stressed out. Don't brush it away as bad or not wanted, or listen to the why-me-again story.
Remember, stress is not only triggered from the outside but also the inside, from your self-talk.
Now hop on your...
🌴 Tiny Island - Name it to Tame it
Breathe out, and let go.
Breathe in and be present.
Connect to the feeling: "I need to do this and that..."
Breathe a few times.
Notice where you feel stress in your body.
Breathe and let go.
Reframe: "I want to do this or that…"
Breathe.
Choose to replace the panicky feeling of not getting things done with making an active decision that leads away from powerlessness.
"Name it to Tame it" was coined by Dr. Daniel Siegel
The minute you embrace the fact that you are stressed, you have already made the first step to becoming less stressed. If your practice helps you to be "real," you will feel empowered!
Please share your thoughts with me. I'd love to know if this helps.
Don't lose this moment.
Searching for another.
Big Love,
