Guided Imagery:
Find a quiet place away from the hustle and
bustle of the home and especially away from the kitchen. Sit in a
relaxed posture or lie down. It really doesn't matter. Clear
your mind. This means not formulating our shopping list until
afterwards or picking out what kind of bagels you plan to get at the
shop when you are there. Take a few deep breaths. Come on now. You can
do it. Just release whatever it is you might be worrying about today.
Forget about the dry cleaning for a few minutes. It will be there.
It's not going anywhere. On the count of three, take a deep breath
inhaling as much air as you possibly can and, "Hold it". On
the exhale, release the breath and say the Oy Vey mantra. Half of the
air expelling should be the OY and the rest will be the VEY Feel the
fullness of these two syllables. Repeat three times. Then sit and bask
in the revelation and relaxation. Notice how all your cares have disappeared. At
least for a few minutes until the next onslaught on things to worry
about comes in. Repeat this daily, if you can. It gets better
over time.
