A Mysterious Concept - Appreciate Yourself!
The title is meant to be facetious, so don't respond to this thread just to tell me that it's not a mysterious concept. lol
Sometimes at work I feel myself getting clenched up. Usually it's just because I haven't gotten enough sleep the night before, because my job really isn't that stressful. My jaw just naturally clenches itself when I'm trying to subconciously stay awake.
However, I realized that just stopping what I'm doing for 10-15 seconds and thinking about how good a person I am really helps. If I focus on the good things I do, how I am as being perfectly acceptable and natural, and the people that I know love me, it really helps me to relax and take a load off my mind, if just for a moment. I've been doing this for a couple weeks now and I can do it without even breaking from what I'm doing. I can do it mid-conversation even, now.
I'd advise you to try doing the same if/whenever you feel stressed out. It is basically meditation without taking a large or even small time out of your daily life. Feeling gratitude for who you are and appreciating yourself can be one of the most spiritually uplifting and mentally detangling things you do in any given day. So try to do this now, and then try to do it another 5 times today and tomorrow. If you can manage 5 times, try it 6 the next day. The more often you do this, the easier it becomes and the more energized you become. Not to mention how happy it will make you. Just try it, let me know if it works for you and, if not, why it doesn't work.
