Finding Relief

 

When Relief has gone missing, I usually have to stop everything and give my undivided attention to finding it again. Changing these gears is the most difficult part of this whole process: Stop whatever it is I'm doing. Be still. Ask myself what will feel better now?

And then do that. It really is that simple.

Some of my relief actions include but is not limited to:

Practicing the corpse yoga pose, drinking hot tea, breathing deeply, going for a long solitary walk, playing uplifting music, cross-stitching, phoning a loved one, journaling, creating something delicious in the kitchen, eating a good piece of chocolate, perusing my cross-stitch stash, writing lists of appreciation or just being.

It is good to feel good!
