Image of an Ocean Beach

When I need to calm myself from to much stress I use an image of a beach in California. I try to include the smell of the ocean air and the sound of the waves. The image is of a beautiful sunset. The beach is empty, just the sand, the waves and the sunset.

This is very calming for me. It immediately takes me to a happy time and place full of good memories. Everyone should have a place like that where they can go whenever they need to.

They more real the scene becomes the better, work on it and try to include as many of you senses as possible. When you find yourself on other thoughts, shift back to you image and stay there as long as you can.
