Repositioning Stress

Pause, breathe, and notice what is bothering you or looming over you. Sense where this “thing” is positioned relative to you, where the “thing” is a task or a situation or a relationship or something else.

For me, pending tasks tend to be just right in front of me, staring me down. A whole row of them all glaring at me.

Wherever your “thing” is, try repositioning yourself or the “thing”, so that it is shifted from in front of you to behind you, or shifted from on your right to on your left, or even from above you to on the ground.

In your mind, you can also move further away from whatever the “thing” is. Just push it back or back up yourself.

Use your mind, your imagination and your intention to play with this.

See what happens, see how it feels in your body as you move and shift your position with respect to this “thing”. How does it feel when you are not longer in a fixed positional relationship?

On my SoundCloud page, you can find a recording called “Facing Panic Related to an Action” that goes deeper into this exploration Click here to go to that recording.
