Do you know that our eyes move to certain places when we are thinking and feeling? Think about how a person physically looks when they are sad. More often than not their body will be in a position of being hunched over, looking downwards right? Nowt hink of how someone physically looks when they are anxious. Where are they looking and what position is their body in? Usually their eyes will be darting around a bit and you could also see some shaking or hypervigilant body movement.

The eyes are an amazing tool when it comes to having negative feelings. When our eyes a looking downward and going from right to left, left to right etc, it means your are thinking and feeling. You can see people do this whilst they say " I don't know (thinking) why I'm so sad( Feeling)" .

"I can't work out (thinking) what I am anxious (feeling) about". If you are a right handed person your eyes will bottom left for thinking and bottom right for feeling. It will be the opposite for a left handed person.

However, if you look up, you can no longer think and feel so much and the feeling will start to dissipate.  Give it a try the next time you are upset, angry or sad. It's an easy tip that I often share with people. But it is only a band aid solution. If you are feeling anxious or depressed over a period of time, please seek some assistance.
