I’ve seen many different techniques similar to this and I have to say they all work if you remember to do them. One of the techniques I use is called the Power Pause where you stop, take a deep breath, and visualize your happy picture when you feel stressed. My happy picture is my dog welcoming me home after a long day with his tail wagging wildly and he acts like he hasn’t seen me in months.

I also use the Sedona Method to clear all thoughts and stress from my body. When you feel stressed or out of sorts you stop, lower your head towards your chest and feel any uncomfortable feeling in your chest or stomach. You imagine inserting a straw into the uncomfortable area and let the bad energy drain out of your body.

All of these techniques work if I remember that I have easy to use tools with me at all times. My problem is that I get so caught up in the situation I forget to use these tools. I’m getting better with practice and I recently started using them whenever I sit down at my computer to go back to work. I take 12 deep breaths and clear everything out of me before I start working and it works great!
