SNOW GLOBE EFFECT – MANAGE ANXIETY

Human beings are naturally designed to be well—our default state is not one of anxiety, depression, or overwhelm. At our core, we are calm, present, and balanced.

In the spirit of the festive season, imagine your mind as a Snow Globe, with your thoughts represented by the glitter inside. When the Snow Globe is at rest, the water is crystal clear, symbolising a peaceful, calm you. There’s no need to do anything to make it clear—it’s inherently clear all on its own.

However, when we become agitated, anxious, or worried, it’s like shaking the Snow Globe. Suddenly, the glitter swirls chaotically, and our thoughts become overwhelming. The sheer amount of glitter makes it hard to see clearly, leaving us feeling stressed, overworked, and lost in our anxiety.

The solution is beautifully simple: let the Snow Globe settle. Just as the glitter will naturally sink when the globe is left alone, your thoughts will settle when you allow your mind some stillness. This is the path back to clarity, back to calm.

Taking time to pause and meditate helps us return to our natural state—a calm, clear mind. The more we allow our thoughts to settle, the more clarity we bring to our experiences.

When you’re calm, you reconnect with the best version of yourself—the version unclouded by chaos or distraction. This is where your fullest potential resides, waiting for you to embrace it.

Remember: The best you can be is the calm, clear you.

STEPS YOU CAN TAKE

Meditation is like a workout for your mind. I think of it as building my mind muscle. Just exercising my mind for five to ten minutes per day has a massive effect. The ability to train myself to clear my mind of past or future thoughts, and just think of what is now, helps me think before I react.

It’s best to start in small increments of time, even five or ten minutes, and grow from there and you will soon be feeling the benefits.’

You can meditate any time and build your mind muscle. So, if you get stuck in a queue at a bank or in a traffic jam, or you simply have a spare five minutes – meditate!

Here are just a few examples of how you can be mindful in every situation you find yourself in. By doing this, you start to control how you react to the things that happen to you. I’ve tried all of these and they work.

• Drinking tea or coffee: Smell and examine your tea or coffee before taking a slow sip. Close your eyes and wholly feel and taste the liquid on your tongue before swallowing. Feel the warmth of the cup in your hands.
• Taking a shower: Think about what the water feels like as it hits your skin.
• Scanning your body: Take a moment to close your eyes and tune into your body. Start at your toes and move up, observing each body part until you reach the top of your head. Be curious about what you find, noticing any tension, lightness, heat, pain or other sensations. Notice if the mind wanders and creates stories about those feelings. If so, see if you can bring the mind back to the sensations without judging them.
• Sunrise or sunset: Take in the unique colours and try to notice something you’ve never spotted before. Is there a cloud shape that reminds you of something or someone? What colours do you see? How does the air temperature change once the sun dips below the horizon?
