Strategies I've found that help me through the tough times:
• Take a deep, silent, conscious-loving breath
• Focus on what I want, instead of anything that may be bothering me
I asked Arthur Joseph’s advice one difficult period in my life when a series of losses finally penetrated my ‘I can get through this’ veneer. Feelings were beginning to surge over the levee, and I needed a way to focus. Arthur got quiet for a moment, and then suggested I try focusing on allowing a conscious-loving breath.
This sounded very simple. I could remember the instructions. He did not say ‘take’ a deep breath, he said ‘allow a conscious-loving breath’. This took a little practice, especially when I was busy trying to hold back my feelings … from whom? Mostly from myself. The breath took me through the levees I’d built up to and through the feelings, I started to relax, and life began to look reasonable again, despite current circumstances.
