The Positive Energy Bubble Meditation is one of many self-care techniques you can use to during therapy to shore up your positive emotional responses against inward or outward feelings of fear and negativity.
You’re in the thick of it. You’ve come to a place in your life where you know, in order to move forward, you need to deal with some traumatic emotional material. You’re working through that stuff. Tough stuff. And you’re feeling a bit raw. The stuff you’re dealing with in therapy sessions are traumatic situations the are triggering and causing strong emotions of anxiety, shame and anger.
But you’re doing it. You’re going through the tough process of rebuilding yourself. Birthing new aspects of your self, becoming more flexible and strong, developing new emotional responses.
Therapy is alot of work. You’re developing new views of the world and you are actually growing an altered or, new, neurophysiological platform to support your expanded self.
As you do this tough work in therapy, developing a healthy lifestyle that will help yourself manage your emotions through this growth. Take conscious steps to practice self-care. Be proactive and stay focused on creating emotional stability in your life.
Make a choice to be conscious of your lifestyle, what you do and who you hang out with on a daily basis. Be protective of yourself. Process your feelings with appropriate friends, clergy, and/or perhaps join a real life or an online support group. Some people find support groups healthy but other find that other people’s stories are too much for them to handle. You get to choose. You may have also want to add a mindbody modality such as walking, yoga, tai chi, art therapy and maybe bodywork as part of your on-going wellness journey. Some people find a creative hobby helps them, such as beading, gardening or woodworking. Some people find the plant world to be soothing, and use herbal and aromatherapeutic salves and oils as complementary care.
Above all, remember to just have fun and plan positive things to do! Playfulness and love are important!
