Ok, I was in laughter yoga on Thursday. I didn't know what to expect but I honestly think it was closer to improvising than yoga. It was fun to improvise and laugh but that's about it for me, didn't really get that many kicks out of it. After laughing there was a free workshop about Silva method. Not really convinced about any "products" like that but I totally agree about relaxation and self hypnosis.
About ten years ago I went to some NLP sessions to get over my stage fright and nervousness in certain type of social situations. That gave me a wonderful gift of being able to relax and fall into this deep state of relaxation and self hypnosis. I created my own place in relaxation where I could be a better version of me and just relax. That place has been close to abandoned for many years and I've missed that place.
Being able to fall into this deep relaxation clears my thoughts and gives me determination. I have now done relaxation several times after Thursday evening. Ten minutes deep relaxation after coming home from work makes wonders, believe me. Instead of making to-do lists and forcing me to do things and holding on to promises I just relax, clear my head and I have a clearer vision of what I am going to do. Sounds magical? Well, it is. And I basically don't have to do anything, just give myself little time.
There's a lot of information in internet, and as we all know there's a lot of blaahblaah as well. But one man who has been studying relaxation a lot is Herbert Benson. Here is his guide to relaxation - Relaxation Response.
So this is my first small step, I am going to stop making decisions and promises. Instead, I am changing the way I think and act.
