Before reframing, meditation, and other practices — review your space, motivation, and state of mind. Follow the recommendations below to prevent unintended results. Ensure conditions conducive to effective practice.
1. Stabilize your state and reduce distractions
- Step back from triggering contexts, and try to reduce active emotions
- Find a place where you will not be disturbed, preferably practice in solitude
- Use physical or breathing exercises, a walk, etc.
2. Clear motivation
- Before and after practice — check your motivation
- Form an intention for practice to serve your deepest constructive aspirations only
- Clear egocentric agendas your mind may try to add
- If a destructive goal is your priority any practice serving it will be futile, or even harmful
3. Don’t engage with extraneous thoughts
- If unwanted thoughts or emotions do arise during practice — simply restore the focus on your main task
- Do not get discouraged or upset, do not react
- Patiently steer your mind back to practice every time it wanders away
4. Ask for help
- If you think you may be suffering from any medical condition consult with a professional healthcare provider.
5. Create your space
- Even if it is just a pair of your headphones. Invest in a few repetitions and nurture a habit of an instant tune-in. This space, or any anchor you use, becomes your practice switch
