When your thoughts feel as though they are swirling
around faster than you can catch them, you do not
have to make sense of everything at once.
SPACE TO BREATHE THERAPY
What is happening inside my mind?
Imagine every swirling particle represents something
asking for your attention. You can change the movement,
add your thoughts and create some breathing room.
My thoughts
Thoughts are swirling
How busy does your mind feel?
This is your own estimate, not a clinical measurement.
Your globe, your pace
Watch the flakes swirl, pause them, shake the globe
or allow them to settle.
The movement is an illustration of how thoughts can feel.
There is no pressure to make your mind quiet.
When the dust begins to settle
You may notice that some thoughts feel less urgent,
while others still need your attention.
You do not have to answer them all right now.
I can allow my thoughts to be here without chasing every one.
What is swirling around?
Write your thoughts one at a time. You do not need
to organise them or explain them perfectly.
Thoughts I have added
You do not have to make every thought disappear.
You can decide which thoughts need attention, which can
wait and which may need support.
Let the dust settle, a little at a time
Choose what you want to do with each thought.
There are no right or wrong answers.
What might make today less demanding?
The settling effect is visual. It does not mean you
should be feeling calmer or that your difficulties have
gone away.
What do I know about my thoughts now?
You can return to your reflections whenever you feel ready.
There is no deadline.
My personal reflection
Not everything that passes through my mind
needs an answer today.
