Simple as 1,2,3: Really!
Ridding yourself of anger, stress and anxiety may be as simple as 1, 2, 3. Here is a quick tip from an ex "Rageaholic" that may help you relax and de-stress in seconds. It is my most effective and efficient calming technique that I use.. Before you communicate with anyone or if there is stress or anxiety in your life, try this easy method. There are other methods that also work yet are more complicated and take longer to work. Sometimes I need fast and easy.
Anytime, Anywhere is OK
Try this method before a meeting, entering the front door after work anytime before you may have a challenging situation. It will help take the edge off of the stress. The longer you use this method the better you will feel. It will help keep you out of trouble
Effortless Anxiety Soother Exercise
1. Find a location where you be alone and uninterrupted.
Sit or lie down and close your eyes. You may keep your eyes open and it still works. Try this at a red light, with your eyes open ( or you will make others just as angry if you don't go on green )
2. Take a few deep breaths, yet inhale the same time as you exhale.
Example: Inhale One ... 2... 3.... Exhale 1.... 2... 3...... do this count for 30 seconds and build up to a longer count. If it seems uncomfortable, stay at 3.
Important:Eventually as you practice, it will be easier. Sometimes I get up to 17. That is when I turn into a wet noodle, as I am so relaxed. Keep counting, as it will help you to focus on the breathing and no other thoughts. If other thoughts start to invade, just imagine writing them on a post it note, stick it somewhere that you do your office work and you will get back to it later. Then go back to counting.
That is it; try it now if you need to relax.
