I know. I know it feels like too much right now. You don't have to explain. You don't have to fix it. All you need to do right now is just breathe with me. We're going to breathe in through your nose for a count of four. Hold it for another count of four. And exhale from your mouth for six seconds. Count along with me. So breathe in through your nose for one, Two, Three, Four. And hold it for one, Two, Three, Four. Now out through your mouth. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six. And again, This time close your eyes and inhale. One, Two, Three, Four. Hold for one, Two, Three, Four. And a long exhale for six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One. Your nervous system's listening. It's already beginning to shift. One more time. In for one, Two, Three, Four. Hold for one, Two, Three, Four. And exhale for six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One. What I want you to do is just stand up. If you're already standing, That's great. And just shake your body off. Shake your shoulders, Shake your arms, Shake your hands, Your legs, Your feet. Just shake it all off. One final breath in. This time we're going to change. Inhale, Hold it at the top. Take one final gasp of air in and sigh it out. And as you sigh it out, Release all tension and relax your jaw. So inhale, Hold it at the top. One last gasp in and an audible sigh. Now drop your shoulders and clench your jaw. Let your hands open. And remember that you are not your reaction. You are the person who just chose to pause right then. That matters. That is everything. Take however long you need right now. Shake it out again if you need to. And when you're ready, You've got this.
