This is the final step in your Mental Makeover:
Close Your Eyes & SMILE
The truth is, the easiest way to change your mental state and clear out your head is to close your eyes and smile. This is how they meditate in Bali. In the book Eat Pray Love, author Elizabeth Gilbert learns this from a Balinese Medicine Man. He says "Close your eyes and smile. Smile even in your liver." No reason, just feel the sun on your face and smile. Breathe and feeeeeel the peace.
It really is that simple.
So, either close your eyes and smile for a while, or pick another centering activity and do it. Take at least 20 minutes. Focus on quieting your mind, allowing all thoughts (good or bad) to just float away. If you'd like, you can do a guided meditation with me or download one from www.prohypnosis.com. Any time you get mentally muddled, do this.
When you are finished centering, write in your journal for at least 10 minutes. Keep writing no matter what. Even if you've finished describing your experience after 2 minutes just keep writing anything that comes to your mind. Sometimes you'll just be writing "I don't know what to write" for a minute but then it will start flowing out of you.
You can also draw if that is more "you." But the same rules apply...keep drawing about your experience for the full ten minutes. And remember to laugh and have FUN with this, okay??
You'll be amazed at how much you enjoy it and what wisdom comes out of you afterwords.
Ready, Set, GO!
