Tips to Create Parasympathetic Mind

From working with SCENAR, I have learned that healing occurs when the parasympathetic aspect of the autonomic nervous system is operating. The action of the SCENAR brings this about. However, there is much we can do in our everyday lives to create the state of mind that occurs when the parasympathetic system is flowing. Here are a few ideas:

• Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
• Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
• Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and less that is manufactured.
• Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild salmon, broccoli, avocados, and almonds.
• Try to make at least three people smile each day.
• Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
• Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
• Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
• You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
• Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil your present.
• No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
• Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”
• Forgive everyone for everything.
• What other people think of you is none of your business.
• However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
• Stay in touch with your friends.
• In this present moment you will notice that you have all that you need.
• Practice gratitude in every situation, no matter how you want to judge it.
• Try the loving kindness mantra: “May I be well. May I be at peace. May I be happy.” Say it enough to yourself that it takes up residence in your thoughts.

You can enter Parasympathic Mind, lower your stress level, help your body heal, and find more happiness by changing your attitude.
