Third Eye Chakra Activity #3: The Third Eye is also the center of vision and imagination. Just as athletes mentally rehearse a race before running it, you must mentally rehearse your sobriety.The The brain struggles to tell the difference between a vividly imagined event and reality, so we will prepare by visualizing the pivot. Sit quietly and close your eyes. Think of an upcoming situation that is a known, high-risk trigger for you (e.g., a stressful family gathering, payday, or a specific time of night). Vividly imagine the trigger happening. Feel the initial spike of anxiety. Then, explicitly visualize yourself pivoting. See yourself using your 5-4-3-2-1 somatic grounding, taking a deep breath, and choosing a different action. Rehearse the feeling of relief and pride that follows. Be sure to step into character fully and see/feel the entire experience.
