Protect your soul | Let us learn "Soul SPA" together

Editor's note: Due to the epidemic, the end of the year, interpersonal conflicts, exam failures and other factors, emotional out-of-control, anxiety or depression will definitely seriously affect our quality of life and the efficiency of study and work! If it is difficult for us to be quiet and do what we want to do, then please try this "Mind SPA". No matter where you are or what happens, as long as you learn this "Mind SPA", you will be in charge of your emotions. It can make you refreshed and do what you want to do.

This "mind SPA" should be called "emotional stabilization technology's 'safe island technology' in a very professional way. It is a psychological imagination technology that can be done at any time and anywhere, as long as we use the imagination that each of us has!

Okay, let's learn together. Whether you are sitting or lying down, try to find a relatively quiet place, and you can open or close your eyes. If it is difficult to imagine, it is better to imagine with your eyes closed. If your eyes are open, look at a certain point in the air. Please try to do a few deep and slow abdominal breaths. Exhale-------inhale------exhale-----inhale-----, try to calm yourself down... The following instructions are all about perception and feeling through imagination. You can read through them first and practice after you know how to do it.

Now, please look for a safe place in your inner world, where you can feel absolutely safe and comfortable. It should be in your imaginary world - maybe it is near you, or it may be far away from you, no matter where it is...

· This place is open to you alone, and you can leave at any time, taking with you friendly, lovely objects to accompany you and help you...

You can set an imaginary boundary for this place, and decide what useful things are allowed to be brought in, but of course real people cannot be brought here...

Don’t be anxious, think slowly, and find such a magical, safe and pleasant place…

Maybe you saw a certain image, maybe you felt something, maybe you just thought about such a place first...

Let it appear, whatever appears, that’s it…

If you have uncomfortable images or feelings while searching for a safe island, don’t pay too much attention to them. Instead, tell yourself that you just want to find good, inner images now—uncomfortable feelings can wait until next time. Now, you just want to find a place that is beautiful, comfortable, and conducive to your relaxation, such as a beach, forest, park, etc.

If it is still difficult to find such a safe island, you can use all the tools you can think of, such as transportation, various materials, and of course magic, all useful things, as long as you can imagine...

When you reach your inner island of safety, please look around and see if you really feel very comfortable, very safe, and can completely relax. Please use your mind to check again... One thing is very important, that is, you should feel completely relaxed, absolutely safe, and very comfortable. Please plan your island of safety in any way you like...

After you have equipped your island, please carefully feel how your body feels in such a safe place. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What do your skin feel? How is your breathing? How does your abdomen feel? If you still feel uncomfortable, you can make some adjustments until you feel very comfortable and relaxed.

· Please try to experience this feeling carefully so that you know what it feels like to be in this place... Please remember this feeling!

· OK! Now please design a special posture or action for yourself. Later, as long as you take this posture or do this action, it can help you quickly return to this place in your imagination and feel comfortable. You can make a fist or spread your hands. Only you understand this action.

Please use this posture or action to experience with your whole body and mind how good it feels to be in this safe island... After feeling it for 2-3 minutes, remove your action and return to the reality you are in...

Have you learned it? This set of "Mind SPA" can adjust your mood very well. It can be used as our daily mind maintenance exercise to improve our psychological quality and resilience, and achieve "strengthening the positive and eliminating the negative". Only when we strengthen the positive first can we better deal with the "negative" in life and do what we want to do!
