Think yourself calm
Visualisation exercise
Try this exercise when you are feeling overwhelmed. You can do it anywhere, anytime.
Imagine your favourite place
Close your eyes and take a deep breath. Imagine a place that feels as calm and peaceful as you possibly can.
You might imagine a sandy beach, a woodland, a place you visited as a child, a field, your bedroom– whatever is your ideal safe haven. Visualise this place in as much detail as you can.
- What can you see?
- What can you smell?
- What can you feel?
- What can you hear?
Notice how you feel in this place. If you don’t feel calm, don't worry. Try somewhere else.
