Memories, thoughts and your eyes

The secret of any relaxation lies in the psyche: pleasant, joyful memories bring relaxation. This was clearly demonstrated by one of my patients. She fell into a state of deep depression because of the death of her husband, to whom she was strongly attached. The woman told me that her only consolation was reading the diary, which she had been leading for many years, and which enlivened her happy days with her husband until the tragic end. Only memorable memories of happy events and communication with friends brought her nervous relief and relaxation and made it possible to distract from painful thoughts. Not only grief, but excitement and tension of any kind can be reduced through the recollection of interesting, joyful events. For example, a musician can get a pleasant relief, remembering a very successful concert or mentally going through the score of his favorite concert. The typist may be pleased with the mental representation of typing some familiar lyrical or even childish rhymes. A golfer would be glad to once again mentally experience the most successful game. Seamstress can enjoy the presentation of various types of fabrics and textures that can be remembered at a time when she spends them on her fingers. She could also think about those of them that were used for sewing some very beautiful costumes. Mental representation, no matter how much you are tired, nervous or bored( in short, whatever form of strain you are not experiencing), will bring you relief. Do not underestimate the fact that remembrance brings relaxation. In the moment of necessity( and during the time of palming always), contact him for help.

Suppose you are too tired or feel bad to recall some pleasant memory. Then instead, mentally do any mechanical process, for example, draw pictures. Are not you an artist? Imagine that you have a large white sheet of paper and a pen. Draw a square with a side of 1 inch in the top corner of the sheet. Now next to him draw the same box, but standing on one of its vertices. Then draw a rectangle whose long side is horizontal. Draw another rectangle, but already standing vertically on its short edge. And how will the triangle look in different positions? Then draw a circle. Now it would be interesting to consider the various combinations of your drawings. Enter the circle in the square, place it on the top of the triangle, on the upper edge of the rectangle or write it inside the rectangle. Can you imagine that your circle rolls inside the rectangle from one short rib to the other and back? And this is not very interesting to you? Nevertheless, if you try to do this, then you will achieve the necessary reaction to you, and this is what you need.

Every time you have this opportunity, do the palming, while simultaneously giving yourself a mental presentation.

Once for help, a gloomy, depressed and rather nervous man, a former sheriff, turned to me. I tried to find some mental idea that would relieve the tension during the palming."You are from the desert, you must have your favorite horse there," I suggested."Yes," he replies to me, "but she was shot under me!" "Do you have a family?" - I continued."They all died," the man replied sadly."You must have crossed the desert many times, enjoying the horizon and the view of the mountains in the distance.""No, I had to peer into every bush, every hummock because of the possibility of an ambush.""But you fell asleep under the stars of the clear sky of the desert," I found."Oh, yes," he exclaimed, cheered up. "I love the stars and nowhere are they as beautiful as in the desert."Then he began to talk about his favorite stars and about where they can be found at different times. When he finished and took his hands from his eyes, it was a completely different person. His eyes were shining, he was smiling and was already ready for further studies.

If you search, then you will find yourself a pleasant memory, which will bring relaxation.

Try this done!
