Purpose of Blog and Mind-Body Bridging

Many reasons may entice a person so right a blog and I have hesitated to do so for a tremendous amount of time. I love to write and I want this blog for nothing but for per selfish reason. I do not want this blog to be similar to anyone elses, which I felt like I had to rise to a certain standard. I am excited to get going and discover myself in the process. 

I chose the title of my blog, Esthetic Intrepidity because I wanted my title to show who I want to be. I want to be bold but artistic. I want to go through a journey to learn more about myself while becoming more bold and beautiful in my own skin. I am going to start be doing things that I have never done, while working on things that I have wanted to change.

For starters, I started this therapy technique called, Mind-Body Bridging. Basically, I understand it to be a technique that brings everything to the present and to the here-and-now. I use it mostly for when I am feeling anxious or having a hard time falling asleep. It looks a little like this; I will be driving to the store and I will turn off the radio and I will go through a self dialogue and name things that are happening in the present. I would describe how the steering wheel feels in my hand, or the tires on the road. I would even go through each body part of my body and explain to myself what I was doing. I was putting my foot on the gas pedal... then the break and so forth. Yes, I have done this out loud, because my mind would not want to just focus on the present. I would always be thinking about what was next on my check list and the things that we bothering me. I plan to do more research, but the little I've done and just tried, has exponentially reduced my anxiety and help me feel calm and peaceful.
