Since last year, I've been changing course of my business to more product driven than consultancy. This has naturally put me into situations of real stress that causes churning in the stomach. The feeling stays for days if not dealt. ON couple of occasions I've successfully eliminated it using the Black Lotus app [0] RARE framework [1]. In the first instance, I chose the goal of being mindful and being stress free for the other. It combines a guided meditation specific for the goal, a breathing exercise, a RAK and some other tiny activities that should not take more than 20-30 minutes a day – but are really powerful.

In another occasion, I reflected on the cause of the stress holding conversation with the mind (sitting in meditative cross-legged pose) – what the worse can happen, what are other options etc. etc., and the stress subsided. Basically thoughts are also a form of energy which needs to be released. Either you can channelize them with good meditation or spent them with the bad one, in both cases you do get to feel relax. If you don't do either of these, you end up feeling restless and the more time they remain in your system the more damage they cause.
