The Power of Neutral

clipped from thirstyfishinfo.amplify.com Practicing The Power of Neutral helps bring your mind, emotions and physiology to a state of neutral. Think of neutral as a “time-out zone” where you can step back, neutralize your emotions and see more options with objective clarity. Take a time-out. Breathe slow and deeply. Imagine the air entering and leaving through your heart area in the center of your chest. Try to disengage from your stressful thoughts and feelings as you continue breathing. Continue until you have chilled out and neutralized the emotional charge. One of the things that can help you get to neutral is asking yourself, “Do I really want to keep draining energy and stressing about the situation or how bad I feel?” For example, right before a situation that normally makes you anxious or stressed, you may start negatively projecting the idea you will blow it or be judged by others. This is the perfect time to use The Power of Neutral. Read more at www.heartmath.org
