Feel good: tips on putting things into perspective

 

 

 

It is very easy to worry over challenges in your life until you do not feel good. In this state it is all too easy to lose perspective and make the challenge seem even larger than it really is.

How do you relax and get your mind and body back into balance?

Here are some tips on finding balance in your life enabling you to regain perspective. Life will not seem so scary when you are able to truly appraise your challenges.

• Music and dance

When we dance together, we repeatedly practice taking steps together to stay in tune with the music, the energy around us gains greater harmony and so collaboration is easier, and agreements are more likely to be adhered to.

 

Historically many cultures have traditions of activities involving moving in synchronisation together. It is a time when you get out of your mind and more into your body and the flow of life.

Perhaps in modernising our lifestyles we have inadvertently thrown out practices which aids the quality of human life. Dancing is such fun. Personally, I find it energises me, makes me laugh and I love doing it with another individual or in a group. Some people are quite shy about dancing for fear of making a mistake or feeling foolish. My own son is one of these! What people have forgotten is dancing is not about perfection but about relaxation, going with the flow and enjoying doing a fun activity with other people.

Dancing together brings relaxation and harmony.

• Laughter

It is such a lovely light energy. This is why you feel good when you laugh. When I was in corporate life and everything was going wrong around me, my soul used to make me and my colleagues laugh. A stupid joke used to just come out of me and I was left wondering where it came from. At the time I used to think – oh dear that is a little inappropriate! But I observed everyone would laugh, the tension was broken and everyone relaxed. Then we could engage our brains in finding a solution to our problem.

 

Bring laughter to your life and you will be able to work on your problems more easily.

 

• Talking to someone you trust.

Holding on to your worries is very corrosive to your emotions and body. Simply talking to someone you trust gets the worry out of you. Almost as you hear yourself speaking of your worries, you will see them shrink putting them into perspective and making them more solvable.

 

Get your worries out of you and they become more manageable.
