It’s like getting your dog to drop a slipper

The mind will hold onto negativity unless instructed to do otherwise. It’s like catching your dog chewing on a slipper. You get her attention and tell her to “drop it”. She will look at you sheepishly while still holding the slipper. Then you say, “drop it now” and she does it, right?
Try these techniques the next time you want to let go of stress around an unexpected change…and email me at Carla@ArtistryofChange.com about the results.
Bottom Line
While these activities may seem simple and inconsequential, using them regularly will change your entire life and those around you–for the better. It’s like the difference between brushing your teeth every morning or not. After a while not removing the mental plaque will give you mental cavities (aka burnout, depression, over-indulging in self-medicating behaviors such as food, alcohol, drugs, etc).
We all need daily mental flossing to bring us back to our natural ability to be vitally alive and to flow with change.
Use these ideas or brainstorm with your team on regular activities that will “defrag” everyone.
