Try to taste the water

Try to taste the water. Open your mouth and let it run
into your mouth, refreshing you. Hear it as it bounces off
the ground around you. The water is life itself and it is
washing away stress and worry from your mind and body.
After a moment, open your eyes.
Try to use all of your senses when carrying out the
visualization. To make the pictures in your mind as real as
possible, use your senses of touch, taste, and hearing. Feel
the water trickle down your body; hear the sound it makes
as it splashes over you.
The more realistic the imagined scenarios, the more
benefit you will gain. Many people report very beneficial and
soothing results from using these simple visualizations
frequently. The mind is much like a muscle in that, in order
to relax, it needs to regularly release what it is holding onto.
You can use any situation or location that will help calm
you. We liken this to “finding your happy place”. Maybe
you feel relaxed in a swimming pool or on the beach.
Imagine yourself there. Just make sure wherever you go in
your mind is a place where you can be calm and rested.
By visualizing the different situations, you are allowing
your mind to release. It is like sending a message to your
brain that when you close your eyes and begin this process
it is time for letting go of anything that it has been mentally
holding onto, including anxious thinking.
In order to train your mind how to let go of the stress,
it is important to practice this daily. With practice, you can
learn to release all stress within minutes of starting the
exercise. Your daily practice should take place before going
to bed, as that will enable you to sleep more soundly.
Many people do not do these visualizations in the
bedroom but some other room before going to bed. That
way, when they enter the bedroom and close the door, they
are leaving the mental stress and anxious thinking behind
