So what's a perpetual neg-head to do (to keep herself from going psycho)? Many times a day I have to "go to my happy place." A "happy place" is an imagery exercise to help cope with the downward spiral of negative thoughts and resulting release of feel-bad brain chemicals, which lead to more negative thoughts, which creates more feel-bad chemicals, etc.
This is one of my favorite happy places.
The more details one can imagine, the more effective the exercise. So here's some extra goodies on the side:
1. The smell of refreshing salty sprays.
2. Bright straw hats and crisp white linen.
3. Warm smooth sand squished between your toes.
4. Deep tissue massage!
5. Candlelight.
6. Warm breezes.
7. Mai-Tais and Pina Coladas.
