Stress Reset · Day 5

Name it

Name the feeling in one word, find where it sits in your body, and give it a little room.

Spinn Originals play softly under the voice and step back while it speaks. If a workout is playing its soundtrack, that carries on instead.

Read the words
  1. This is Stress Reset. Five minutes to look at what you are feeling, without having to fix it.
  2. Sit or stand, wherever you are. Eyes open or closed, as long as you are safe.
  3. Take a slow breath in, and a long breath out.
  4. Now ask yourself what you are feeling right now. See if you can name it in one word.
  5. It might be angry, anxious, tired, frustrated, sad, overwhelmed. Any word is fine.
  6. Say the word to yourself, quietly, the way you might tell a friend.
  7. If more than one feeling is there, pick the strongest one for now.
  8. Now notice where that feeling sits in your body. Tight in the chest, a knot in the stomach, heat in the face, a clenched jaw.
  9. There is no right answer. Just notice where it seems to be.
  10. Notice its shape. Is it small or big? Still or moving?
  11. Now see if you can make a little room around it, the way you might loosen a tight belt by one notch.
  12. Breathe toward that place, gently. You are not trying to push the feeling away.
  13. Let it be there, with a bit more space around it.
  14. If the feeling changes, notice that. If it stays the same, notice that too.
  15. Say the word once more, quietly. Then let your attention widen to the rest of your body.
  16. Feel your feet on the ground. Your hands. Your breath.
  17. The feeling is one part of what is here. There is room for the rest of you too.
  18. Take one more slow breath in, and a long breath out.
  19. That is Stress Reset. Name it, find it, give it room. You can do this anywhere.
