I want you to relax right now, as you listen to my words, as I talk to you, and you can just look, letting your eyes glide, breathing in slowly, and holding it, and breathing out, that’s right, just letting things be exactly as they are, right here, now, nothing bothers you, nothing disturbs you here, you can just let yourself feel a moment of peace, and you can allow that peace to simply expand, minute by minute, breath by breath, more peace inside your body, mind, and spirit, and you can let that peace build slowly today, further, deeper, taking over your brain and cells and all parts of your body that need to feel more relaxed, and you know, and I know too, that more relaxation is only ever a good thing. Relax and breathe, and remember to enjoy the little things as well as the bigger ones.

The cleverness of the PAUSE:

Do you say yes when you want to say no? Find yourself going into a scripted response when people ask how you are? Sometimes say things you wish you hadn’t? The clever PAUSE just means adding in think space before a response. You can even say it. “Hang on, let me think for a second” or “I’ll need a minute to think, I’ll be back soon with an answer”. Or maybe even “just let me put the kettle on” or “one sec please”. Anything so you can check in and decide on the best response. Take that pause today.

Protect mornings:

Please protect your morning from any drama or chaos. The nervous system needs a stable and peaceful start to set the pattern for the day. What we read (or scan on devices) influences internal chaos. Choose peace and may today be smooth.

Say Yes to what is:

Most of us spend a bit of time internally saying No to what is, creating resistance and tension. Does it help change anything? When it comes to acceptance, radical acceptance, the idea is to say “Yes, thank you” to what is and then start from there. This doesn’t mean being passive or ignoring injustice. It just creates the inner congruity from which to decide upon the best inner or outer course of action. Which parts can we influence or optimise and which are out of our control? If inner peace is the goal, trying Yes to what is might just help today.

Quick calm:

Follow my words here, and your eyes can glide calmly, from left, to right, centre, left, to right, and I want you, in your mind’s eye, to notice two big lights, green on left, and orange on right, and I want you to move your eyes to the big green light on the left, and now to the big orange light on the right, back and forth, back and forth, just like going on a walk, and scanning your environment, looking left, then right, then left again, and so on, eyes gliding, nothing bothers you, nothing disturbs you now, you can let the nerves go off active duty, your inner scanning system does all the work for you, easily, automatically, part of nature, all things held in perfect order for you now, and you can chill and enjoy the day. Do.

WRITE it down!

So many people type things like notes or reminders or other things they want to remember instead of physically writing it. More alarmingly, many students now take notes by typing on a laptop or other device. And yet, research consistently demonstrates that less than half of brain/memory encoding pathways are activated and utilised when typing compared to writing. We remember more and deeply process the material when physically writing. The act of writing also helps our reading ability and vice versa, but less so when reading from a screen. Even reading memory is vastly improved when using paper. Go old school. Use the brain for the purposes it was intended for things that matter. Tech is great, very useful; old school uses much more of the brain and greatly enhances the amount we process and encode going forward. Get a pen!

Choice.

Please remember choice. Whatever it is, you have a choice. The “have to” factor may be a given in some circumstances but there will always be aspects in which we have an element of choice. Even if it’s managing the thoughts or narrative or inner response, that’s choice. Mostly we have many choices in whether or how we approach anything. Choice means empowerment. Always remember choice.

Careful of the What-ifs:

A what-if question is a mixed bag. When applied to problem solving it can be a great tool. When applied to all the good things that might happen, also a good booster. But mostly we use what-if questions when ruminating and catastrophizing. What-ifs are usually about worst case scenario scare tactics. We can gently bring the mind back to now, and only solving the problem of the moment. One step at a time. Or, if the mind keeps opening a scary what-if tab, we can antidote it by what-iffing the complete opposite. (Eg from what if this situation fails to what if this situation is a complete success). For general chill, stick to What and How questions. What do I need to focus on right now and how do I take my next useful step forward. Stay in the now-zone today.

Focus on health:

Slow down now, just for a minute, or maybe longer, and notice one long breath in, take it now, then hold it, and now release it, back into the universe, cycle of in, and out, taking in, breathing out, so solid, so smooth, calming the system, and the system is strong, any little imbalances begin to smooth now, flowing easily into a much more aligned state, everything calm, everything confident now, all cells alert, listening to my helpful message, all cells happily at attention, saluting the flag of your perfect health, you feel better, you remain calm, nothing bothers you now, nothing disturbs you, and you align with your natural state of wellbeing, easily, comfortably, and you will notice any small improvements, bit by bit, feeling better, seeing the good things and thanking all the intelligence of nature. Enjoy.

The cost of shutting up:

We all shut up to keep the peace at times. But if we are constantly overriding our concerns or our needs there may be a hidden cost that becomes not so hidden. The nervous system does not like a mismatch between what is strongly felt inside and what is expressed. If this imbalance goes on, the system registers that something is wrong. The inconsistency can move from emotion to physiology and can lead to inflammation, hormone dysregulation, immune activation, gut reactivity, sleep issues, joint/muscle pain and fatigue. Check any strong unexpressed needs and concerns. Maybe you do need to speak up. The system likes congruence and your body might be very grateful for more.

Release control.

We must know which factors we can influence and which factors are truly out of our control. Trying to control or resist factors that are not within our sphere of influence is a recipe for peace destruction. Choose the path of inner peace. Do your part, then release the outcome.
