One of the principles of Neuro Linguistic Programming is that emotions are stored in our bodies, as well as our brains. One of the places this shows up is when people fall on hard times economically and have trouble meeting their basic needs, or even need to shut down their greater desires. Scare-city is an appropriate word for what the brain goes through during this times, and it is common for people to feel constricted in their bodies as well as their wallets. People describe a tightness in their stomachs, or a restriction in the movement of their limbs. They may even experience high blood pressure as their arteries constrict in response to the brains perception of “danger” from not having enough. It’s important to recognize these physical feelings because they can make you ill. Take time to relax and be present, as difficult as that may seem. If you focus on NOW, you are likely to realize that in this moment, at this very time, you have everything you need. From this place, you can be more resourceful in solving problems and deciding on alternatives.
