A mental storm is that state in which many negativeideas arise at the same time. Its strength is such thatit blocks us. It'S as if the course to follow suddenlydisappears. We feel completely surrounded bypessimistic, discouraging, irritating and depressivethoughts at the same time.
The mental storm sometimes takes place after avery strong experience. A dismissal, a love break, ora disappointment, for example. At other times, itoccurs after a long season in which we have been"enduring" adverse situations. We Do Not feelcomfortable with the life we carry and there comesa time when a click is produced that unleasheseverything.
"The crisis occurs when the old does not just die andwhen the new is not just born."
-Bertolt Brecht-

- Watch the mental storm and calm down
Think of a big weather storm. When It is presented,what we do is to find a refuge, because it is aphenomenon impossible to face in another way.Once we found a safe place, we often contemplateit. We'Re under the storm, but it's like We saw itfrom the outside.
The same thing has to be done with a mental storm.The first Thing is to find that safe place in ourselves,as a state of serenity. To achieve this, it is necessaryto breathe deeply for about 15 minutes. If possible,take a little walk, taking care to breathe slowly.
The next step is to take note of everything that isgoing on. What are those ideas that come into yourmind during the mental storm? Anótalas. Make alist, but don't think about it. Just aim, like one whotakes dictation. For now, there's nothing else to do.
