“We soothe the mind”.
A psychologist accompanies people in their biggest distress as in their most beautiful self -evidence. Over the years, a simple truth is essential to patients: happiness does not reside in complex recipes or radical changes, but often in a very simple thing – and yet essential to have a soothed life and to (re) find a lasting inner balance.
“”This is advice that I particularly give in spring, which is often perceived as a Renaissance seasonsays Maïté Tranzer, clinical psychologist. Spring can be an opportunity to ask you in all sincerity: what do I need, now? No more rest? Of link? Stimulation? Welcoming these needs without judgment is starting to respect yourself. And move forward in a fairer direction for oneself. “Once you have done this, you have to make room around you and it involves real spring cleaning.”Sorting, storing, reorganizing … It is not just a material question: it is a powerful symbolic gesture. By lightening its environment, you also soothe mind. This can generate a feeling of clarity, of found mastery, and even stimulating dopamine, this molecule linked to motivation and momentum of action“, describes the clinical psychologist.
This spring sorting must also be done in a psychological way, it is the key to feeling happier, light and aligned with your desires. Here, the psychologist gives a very simple advice: write. “”Concretely, take a moment to pose on paper what you want to leave behind: what thoughts, what fears or habits no longer serve you?“. This gesture of introspection makes it possible to symbolize an inner transition and to see more clearly.
In parallel, take the time to plan activities that make you vibrate: an upcoming weekend, an outing with friends, a project that excites you … Anticipating these moments of joy nourishes enthusiasm. “”In positive psychology, we know that the simple fact of providing a source of pleasure has a beneficial effect on morale“Concludes our expert.
