Knowing and applying these techniques can notnot only help in the fight against psychological causes of pain during critical days, but also make every woman calmer and happier. However, the exercises should be performed daily, regardless of the critical days of the cycle. This is the main condition for success. 1. Three reasons for joy
- Ask yourself before going to bed three questions:
- Who gave you a pleasant surprise today?
- Why do you say "thank you" to yourself?
- And what made you smile during the day?
To consolidate a positive attitude it is enoughrecall even minor details, but there must be at least three of them. 2. "Drown" your sorrows Sit down, take a comfortable position and close your eyes. Now imagine a bathtub. In this container, without hesitation, pour all your negative thoughts, which mentally imagine as dirty water of a rusty or black color. When the bathtub is full, pull out the plug and watch how it empties: the level of negativity decreases and decreases, now it is swirling like a funnel and, finally, completely disappears. But this is only the first part of the exercise. Now you have to imagine how you fill the bathtub again, only this time with transparent, clean water of your positive expectations. You can open your eyes only after you fix this image in your thoughts. It is enough to do this exercise 2-3 times a week, but it is not forbidden to do it every day. 3. Create a gallery of personal achievements In a free minute, sit down and make a list of your personal achievements. Ask yourself, in what situations and how often did you demonstrate your strengths to others? At the same time, try to remember everything down to the smallest detail: when and where it was. Do not spare the time, at least once a week, look through your gallery, adding new achievements to the list. 4. Personal oasis of happiness Find a place in your dreams where you could feel confident and calm. Describe your oasis of happiness in the smallest details, and your task is to create not a flat picture, but a three-dimensional image. Everything is important here - smells, sounds, colors, and objects surrounding you in this paradise. For example, imagine yourself on the ocean shore on one of the exotic islands. What do you hear besides the soothing beating of the waves? Is there a breeze? Imagine the pleasant coolness of rounded pebbles under your feet or sand warmed up during the day. How does your skin feel from the gentle touch of the sun's rays? Capture the image you have created! Now, during the day, return to it in your mind several times. Know that the more often you do this, the calmer and more confident you will become. 5. Five steps to a new life As a rule, in order to start a new life, you need to end the old one, and above all, get rid of all the accumulated negativity. Do not be shy about expressing all your hidden emotions. Admit to yourself your own fears, grievances and pain. Without mincing words, write a letter in which you describe your feelings for the person or situation because of which you had to suffer so much. Do not hold back, otherwise you may later face depression or other problems. After all, this letter will not reach the addressee anyway, just get rid of it: tear it into small pieces or burn it and scatter the ashes in the wind. This is only the first step to a new life. Now boldly take four more steps:
- Check your balance: how much effort and time you give to work and the sphere of contacts, and how much remains on the inner world, hobbies and body.
- Ask yourself, why do you need changes right now?
- Decide with all your desires.
- Figuratively, colorfully and in details imagine your happy future and tune in to the very best.
You'll see, you can do it!
