A Mental Placebo

Many successful people can vouch for the power of visualisation, the ability to use their brains to create an image of what they want to achieve.

Knowing how powerful your mind is, every person has the ability to essentially create their own placebo effect.

Anchor yourself

When you find yourself in the midst of a reaction, you might have noticed how your breathing becomes rapid and shallow, your throat becomes tight, and you may even feel a pulsating sensation in your head or solar plexus. Your face may become hot and your chest might begin to tighten up. Conversely, when you are calm, feeling peaceful or happy, you typically breathe effortlessly.

The next time when you experience an adverse reaction to anything in life, do your utmost to apply some conscious breathing. By engaging your mind to bring focus to your breathing for a few minutes, you can begin to moderate your reactions.

Allow this anchor to grab hold and steady your emotions as you continue to breathe consciously.
