The active parts of this approach—the parts that are actually helping to move the stuck information—occur in a calm and distracted state. We are processing difficult information while having a right-now experience of pleasant information. The ability and capacity to have a positive experience is important. I’ll provide more information later about the working mechanism underneath this, but for now, let’s just select your calm scene.
The easiest way to do this is to pause here and go to YouTube and find a video that you find relaxing, calming, or funny. Don’t overthink it. It just needs to shift how you feel right now in a pleasant direction. These are some keywords you can search for inside YouTube to give you ideas:
- Beach island relaxation
- Power washing relaxing
- Cute kids
- Funny kids
- Sleeping baby compilation
- Dogs playing in wheat
- Kids say the darndest things
- Perfect sourdough pizza
- Switzerland 4K
- Cats play fighting
- Campfire on beach 4K
- Bridesmaids clips
- Music video [search for your favorite song]
When you watch several moments of that video, does it briefly shift how you feel in a positive direction? If so, find a way to bookmark that video (tips are below). We’re ready to continue. If not, there are over 20 billion videos on YouTube, keep thinking and keep looking.
Alternatives to a YouTube calm scene can be found in the help section.
