Release your Di.R.T….. and a Neuro-Tip
Release your Di.R.T….
I can’t wait for the spring to arrive and bring a breath of fresh air, renovation, and changes to what seemed like a long and cold winter- at least in the area where I live. What an opportunity for a house spring cleaning and removing old stagnant energy by getting rid of clutter that somehow multiplied and is sitting here collecting dust. For some reason decluttering always makes you feel so much lighter.
But we don’t have to wait for spring to arrive in order to do some “inner decluttering”
Release the Di. R. T. that may be clogging your mind, keeping you stuck, massively resisting change, preventing you from moving forward.
*(Di. R. T. is an acronym for Di: Disempowering Beliefs; R: Rumination and Resistances; T: Troublesome Thoughts, Worries, and Anxiety.)
You can practice releasing your Di.R.T by using this powerful 3-step exercise as explained in my Neuro-Tip below:
Neuro-Tip: Time to get rid of your Di.R.T by following the A.C.Re 3-step strategy:
*(A.C.Re is an acronym for A: Aware, Acknowledge and Notice; C: Change the Channel, Shift; and Re: Reframe, Rewire)
Neuro-Tip:
First, let’s get you into a state of presence- deeply grounded and mindfully aware:
Start by yawning 3 to 5 times and stretch very slowly.
1. Next, become Aware, Acknowledge, and Notice your emotions, thoughts, or negativity.
The first step is to bring awareness. Catch yourself when you slip into self-doubt, rumination, anxiety, and fear. Notice and allow those emotions without reacting.
2. Then, Change the Channel: Shift to a Moment of Gratitude.
Change the Channel: Shift and feel gratitude: Think of one thing you’re grateful for right now. Your home. Your job. Your health. Your family. Immerse yourself in the feeling of gratitude. This moment of gratitude can turn off all the negative chatter instantaneously. It is that powerful.
3. Lastly, Reframe and Rewire Your Brain
Here’s where the real work begins. Savoring a moment of gratitude for 15 seconds or more will create new neuropathways. Repeating this exercise frequently will rewire your brain.
Give it a try! It is such a simple but powerful strategy! It can transform your life thru the power of neuroplasticity – that is, if you put it into practice.
To the power of gratitude,
