Sometimes we get so out of balance that we stop trying to regain it; because sometimes it's just easier to ride the wave than to try and fight it.
Things start to feel out of control, lost, even heavy; and you may literally feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. It's easy to get overwhelmed and exhausted when you're already feeling down.
Close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths into your belly. Just take a moment to distance yourself from what can feel like a movie screen replaying scenes from the past or worries of the future.
Don't try to stop your thoughts, just notice each one arise and set it aside for now. Keep breathing. Use your breath to begin to detach yourself from regrets of the past and worries of the future.
Wherever you are, allow yourself to arrive there.
Allow your mind to arrive in a place of clarity and of consciousness, and allow your body to arrive in a state of strength but also calmness.
Open your eyes and find something that makes you smile. Notice how this genuine smile makes you feel.
Keep this feeling close to your heart and right in the front of your mind throughout the remainder of the day.
Allow yourself time to pause frequently and remember this feeling, and make sure to smile as often as possible.
