The process of moving through clean pain involves five steps, or anchors: ◆ Anchor 1: Soothe yourself to quiet your mind, calm your heart, and settle your body. ◆ Anchor 2: Simply notice the sensations, vibrations, and emotions in your body instead of reacting to them. ◆ Anchor 3: Accept the discomfort—and notice when it changes—instead of trying to flee from it. ◆ Anchor 4: Stay present and in your body as you move through the unfolding experience, with all its ambiguity and uncertainty, and respond from the best parts of yourself. ◆ Anchor 5: Safely discharge any energy that remains.
