Observe a stressful thought. Notice how your shoulders tense, your stomach tightens, you hold your breath. Keep watching that same thought. Don’t push it away, instead change your reaction to it. Breathe deeply, let go, relax your body. You’re okay. It’s just a thought. Breathe.
Then we can watch that with inner kindness too. And if that’s too much then take a break, a walk, a breath of fresh air and come back to sit later. Big hugs.
