You may notice agitation as a physical reaction or irritation in your body.
It is good to check yourself by observing your thoughts.
A therapy book I was reading suggested relaxation as a cultivated practice to balance hyper-alertness.
I found myself getting more anymore tense as I sneezed in an allergic reaction.
I decided to calm myself in order to stop.
As I observed my thoughts, I realized an undercurrent o rehearsing a hurtful situation.
I redirected my thought to enjoy what I was doing right at the present moment instead.
I was able to resume the pleasant conversation I was having without the sneezing reaction.
Later on in the night, I awoke with same symptoms.
Once again, I found a habitual negative rehearsal of thoughts taking place.
I calmed myself by remember my own choice to leave the negative situation.
I affirmed my gratitude for where I am, and I appreciated the new, positive people and delightful activities I am now involved in.
The symptoms receded.
I do not have to go along with or experience agitation in any way.
I can become conscious of what is going on in my life, and in my body and I can redirect my thoughts to change in a positive direction.
