Stop Negative Thoughts to Release Stress

Years ago, when I told my real estate agent about the changes in my life, i.e., my divorce, I did not realize that I needed to stop negative thoughts from coloring my days to release stress from divorce.

I shared a brief explanation with her but found that I became more involved in the story beyond the facts she needed to know as the conversation advanced. Being a concerned friend, she probed deeper as I continued to voice my disturbing story.

Because I let anger fill my world, within minutes:

My body started becoming very shaky
My breathing became difficult
My chest shook
I questioned, “Am I having a heart attack?”
Fear came in as it wondered what was going on

I soon realized that going into the details of my divorce was stressing my body.

Rehashing the stories on auto-rewind in my head never served my friend or me. I needed to listen to my body and STOP.

In meditation, I cleared the energy of my negative thoughts so that I would not trigger my emotions again by discussing the trauma.
