By using this simple mindfulness technique, these women have given themselves a cue that will prompt them to be grateful for allrepparttar good things they have to celebrate. Using a key word--and in this case, a particularly charged one--empowers them to attach a positive concept to one that has become associated with fear and pain.

We don't have to wait to find our own key word. If you have a body part, a place, a holiday, or anything else that prompts a negative gut reaction, take charge of it. Intentionally choose a new positive word or concept and attachrepparttar 114600 two in your mind. Use your custom association whenever you hear, see or say that word.

Look for humor. Search for silliness. Grab hold of every opportunity to replace fear or anger with something far more healing--laughter.
