Like most people, I have times when I feel sad and helpless. My therapist friend cautions me not to call it depression, since I am still able to function. When those negative feelings hit me, I try to leave my body and use my intuitive senses.
In the early morning when my bones creak and muscles yell, I listen for the birds. Then I become a bird. I chirp and soar and leave all cares behind. At lunch I inhabit the life of the television news anchor. I pretend to wear a blue suit and read off cue cards. In the afternoon I peer into the face of an adoring 5 year old as we sing Santa Claus is Coming to Town. I feel her trust and pull from her innocence.
Life has rough spots so feel free to use my trick. Leave your troubles behind and intuitively become someone else. It's easy to drift away and put on a new persona, at least for a few moments.
