There are many techniques for reducing stress and overwhelm and this article will focus on your eyes. The act of reading can weaken eye muscles with the back and forth motion. Reading on your phone or tablet can lead to eye strain. Add fatigue, poor lighting, stress, lack of sleep and your vision can become inhibited.
One simple technique to incorporate is to look up periodically and focus on something in the distance. Or, make it a frequent eye exercise of looking close then looking far away.
When you have a lot of mind chatter or overwhelm, the following exercise is extremely helpful.
Take a deep breath with each step:
- Look diagonally up to the RIGHT
- Look to the RIGHT
- Look DOWN RIGHT
- Look STRAIGHT DOWN
- Look diagonally DOWN LEFT
- Look LEFT
- Look diagonally UP LEFT
- Look STRAIGHT UP
- Look STRAIGHT AHEAD
REPEAT WITH EYES CLOSED
