THE POCKET MEDITATION for IMPULSE CONTROL to REACTIVITY

​

Use this 30 second meditation any time you feel yourself wanting to interrupt someone else, blurt out an idea, challenge what someone else just said. Avoid the impulse of reacting and move yourself to strong listening and intelligent responses.

 

  • Breathe and notice your breathing

  • Focus on loosening the muscles of the throat and upper chest

  • Exhale and allow your face and jaw to relax further

  • Inhale and comfortably expand your belly

  • Exhale and allow your shoulders to drop

  • Relax the jaw and teeth

  • Drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth

  • Focus on expanding your rib cage and belly with each inhale within reason and comfort

B2-F.I.T

TAKE A MOMENT FOR YOURSELF

​

Acronyms have a way of directing our mind directly to what we want to do and away from what we don't want to do. Since the mind is quite powerful, commanding the mind is also powerful. When negative emotions are experienced, we can often find ourselves in behaviours that aren't helpful.

​

​B2 Breath & Body. Take a moment to bring your attention to these.

F Identify how you feel. Which emotions are present?

I Inquire what's contributing to the emotions you are experiencing and creating.

T Take wise action. There's always something there for you. Claim responsibility.
