24. Body Check Ritual Exercise When you start to become aware of yourself slipping into the ‘Red’. Do something physical – e.g. holding the wrist, brushing hands, stamping foot. The action will be largely dependent on the context and situation you’re operating in. Place your attention on something external. Notice its shape, texture. Notice the space around it. Choose the next task. © Gazing Limited 2024 24

34. Critical Practice Tool: What If’s It is important to plan for the pressures that are likely to come your way and to establish mental routines to help you accept and deal with them. This will help you recognise and accept what's happening rather than fight it and wish it wasn’t happening. It will allow you to free up your mental space to focus on how to adjust and what to do. What are the top likely diversions you will face? What strategy could you put in place to help you respond from the Blue side? © Gazing Limited 2024 34
