5 Simple Ways to Calm Your Mind and your Nervous System


                                   

1. List the Alphabet using positive words

Move through the alphabet, name one positive word for each letter.

For example:

 A is for Ace

B is for Beautiful

C is for Cosy 

D is for Delight

E is for Easy.......etc

Let the words come naturally without pressure. This quiet rhythm gives your mind something safe and steady to focus on, raising your frequency, guiding you towards lighter thoughts and encouraging your nervous system to follow.

Affirmation to use throughout the day: I allow my mind to re-focus and return to calm.

 

                                                         

2. Head Energy Expansion

I sometimes see Auras - when people are feeling anxious, depressed or stressed the energy around their heads is often very close to their body and caves inwards.

When they are happy or positive it lifts much higher and reaches outwards and upwards, almost sun-like.

So, raise your positive energy by:

Imagining/Visualising your energy rising up and away from the top of your head - by about a foot and see it glowing outwards like sun rays.

Affirmation to use throughout the day: With each breathe my natural light is glowing brighter and higher, I am connected to the love of the Universe.

              

3. Breathe Like a Wave

Let your breath become slow and easy.

Inhale gently, but deeply, for a count of 4… and exhale for a count of 6.

Imagine your breath like a wave, in...and out...

Affirmation to use throughout the day: With each breath, I am returning to ease and harmony.

 

4. Return to the Body

Bring your awareness into your body.

Focus your eyes on one stationary spot.

Listen to all the sounds you can hear around you or in the distance.

Feel your feet on the ground, your hands resting, your body supported.

Let this simple contact remind you: you are here, your are present and you are safe.

Affirmation to use throughout the day: I am safe, supported, this moment is the only one that exists.

 

5. Gentle Eye Movements

Keeping your head still, slowly move your eyes from side to side.

Let your gaze drift as far Left as it can go… then as far Right as it can go right… and repeat 4 times.

This simple motion can help your system settle, it signals your fight or flight that you have checked the area and you are safe.

Affirmation to use throughout the day: My body knows how to settle, and I trust its rhythm.

                                                                      

NB: You’ve probably heard this a hundred times, but there’s a reason caffeine gets so much attention—especially if you’re sensitive. Even a small amount can stir your nervous system, creating sensations very similar to anxiety.

Try giving it a miss for a day and notice how you feel—cutting out coffee had a profound effect for me so I'm eager for you to at least give it a go too 🤗

Also try charging up your laptop and other devices when you are not using them - the EMFs created when they're plugged in create a powerful bubble of electricity large enough to surround you when you are using it. 

If I leave my laptop plugged in when using it - within half an hour I feel discombobulated, crazy and anxious - it's a real thing!
