Pull the Plug and Drain All Your
Stresses Away (By Phylameana
lila Desy, About.com Guide)
Relaxing in the tub is wonderful
way to end your day and wash
away your stresses. While
soaking in your bath imagine
that all the "emotional gunk" and
"mental crazies" of your day are
being lifted from your mind and
scrubbed off your body. Say
"bye-bye"
to
these
"undesirables" when you pull the
plug. Watch all your troubles
gurgle down the drain pipe along
with your bath water. Good
riddance! Make a deep sigh, put a smile on your face, step out
of the empty tub, and pat yourself dry with a big fluffy towel.
Taking a stress purging bath in the evening will also help you.
Punching Bag Visualization (From Jackie) - I imagine whatever
or whoever is the focus of my frustration is a punching bag, and
then I let loose on it. Someone suggested that I either take a
baseball bat to my mattress or join a gym and beat a punching
bag with my fists as ways to take out my frustrations. But, I'm
pretty much a wimp and figured if I broke a nail then I'd really
be ticked off, so instead, because I am a visual creature I began
doing what was suggested in the safe recesses of my mind.
Simply imagining slapping your snotty co-worker silly,
punching your intimidating boss in the gut, or dumping a ton of
bricks over your nosy brother-in-law's head can be a real trip.
No blood or gore, only anger-releasing satisfaction.
