The five steps of the FREEZE-FRAME TECHNIQUE
1. Recognize the stressful feeling, and FREEZE-FRAME it. Take a time-out!
2. Make a sincere effort to shift your focus away from the racing mind or disturbed emotions to the area of your heart (center of your chest). You can pretend that you’re breathing through your heart to help focus your energy in this area. Keep your focus there and continue to breath from your heart.
3. Recall a positive, fun feeling or time you’ve had in life and imagine re-experiencing it.
4. Now, using your intuition, common sense and sincerity—ask your heart, what would be a more efficient response to the situation, one that will minimize future stress?
5. Listen to what your heart says in answer to your question. It’s an effective way to put your reactive mind and emotions in dhcek—and an “in-house” source of common sense solutions!
