Remove yourself from the situation. Take a pause. Stop and drop what you are busy doing. Come back to yourself. Connect to your breath, heartbeat, and center and ground yourself. Squeeze your eyes and gently shake your head without injuring your neck. Roll your shoulders backwards and wiggle and shake your whole body. Go for a walk, dance on the spot, simply move. Sing, chant, tone with your voice. Release all the tension. Engage all your physical senses. Connect to Nature and the elements. Play in a park or your garden. Go to the children’s park and allow your inner child to swing. Watch the sun rise and set. Breathe in the sun. Star and moon bathe at night. Watch a river flowing and listen to rain. (Youtube has many such videos.) Nourish your body, mind, heart, and soul.  Once done you are ready to enter a world of awe and wonder, expand your perception, raise your vibration and energy levels, gain fresh perspective, and explore what else is possible. Embodied Sensemaking and Senseshifting are exactly what the good doctor ordered so you can come back in flow, are more prepared to respond to external events with more ease and in alignment to your true self, and can flourish and thrive in even harsh circumstances!
