stress reduction and positive self-perception

You should establish an anchor by thinking about a moment when you felt at ease. Use this anchor to shift your focus back to feeling empowered when you're stressed. To reduce stress and bruxism, imagine inhaling calmness and exhaling tension while visualizing a serene place. Allow a soft, warm light to relax your jaw and face. Repeat positive affirmations to enhance your self-perception and reinforce belief in your abilities. You have the power to manage stress and can use your anchor and affirmations whenever needed. Before we delve into the relaxation and stress reduction, let's establish an anchor. I want you to think about a moment when you felt completely at ease, confident and capable. It could be a specific memory, a place or even a mental image. As you recall this moment, take a deep breath in and exhale slowly. Feel the positive energy associated with this anchor flowing through you. Now, whenever you feel stress creeping in, you can use this anchor to quickly shift your focus back to that empowered state. It will become a powerful tool in your journey to manage stress and ease the tension causing your bruxism. Now, let's work on reducing the stress that might be manifesting as bruxism. Close your eyes if you feel comfortable and take a deep breath in. With each breath, imagine inhaling calmness and exhaling tension. Visualize a serene place. It could be a beach, a forest or any tranquil setting that resonates with you. As you immerse yourself in this peaceful place, imagine the soft, warm light surrounding you. This light represents your inner strength and resilience. With each breath, allow this light to expand, pushing away any stress or tension within you. Feel the muscles in your jaw and face relaxing, releasing any build-up pressure. Now, let's focus on affirmations to enhance your positive self-perception. Repeat after me, either in your mind or out loud, I am a smart and capable individual. I have the ability to learn and adapt easily. I trust in my intelligence and talents. I am resilient in the face of challenges. Imagine these affirmations taking root within you, strengthening your sense of self and reinforcing the belief in your abilities. As we conclude this session, remember that you have the power to manage stress and your intelligence is a guiding force. You can use your anchor and affirmation whenever needed. When you open your eyes, you will feel refreshed, empowered and ready to face challenges with a clear mind.
