Show Notes

Today’s episode guides you through an exercise to begin to transform problems like depression and anxiety by re-accessing a joyful, empowering  experience from the past and using it to solve a current issue.

Choose a problem to work on. Reflect on it, then put it aside and think of a time in your life when you were incredibly ecstatic. You felt high, on top of the world, in the flow. Everything was going right and coming together. You felt exuberant, content, and happy. Maybe it was just for a brief minute; maybe it was for a whole day; or maybe it was for longer than that.

Go back in time to that experience and use all your senses to re-access it. From this positive frame of mind and heart ask yourself how you would you deal with your current issue. Look at your problem from this uplifting state of being and give yourself advice on what to do. How does your happy, ecstatic self relate to your current situation? How does it see the issue? How does it feel about it? What does it want you to do with it?
