I'm all on edge.
I need to settle down.
There are thoughts in my head going round and round.
My shoulders are tight and my jaw is clenched.
My knees are rigid and my back is tense.
From my eyes to my ears,
From my nose to my chin,
From my head to my toes and all over my skin.
I am stretched to the limit.
I'm out of control.
I need to relax and get out of this hole.
I need to breathe.
That's a deep breath in and a long,
Slow breath out.
I release all my tension.
I let it just flow out.
That's a deep breath in and a long,
Slow breath out.
I release all my tension.
I let it just flow out.
And one more time,
Just to be sure.
That's a deep breath in and a long,
Slow breath out.
I release all my tension.
I let it just flow out.
Ah.
Now my knees feel loose and my pulse has slowed.
My muscles have slackened and my mind's controlled.
My thoughts are clear and things start to make sense.
Life's so much easier when I'm not tense.
From my eyes to my ears,
From my nose to my chin,
From my head to my toes and all over my skin.
I'm feeling relaxed.
I'm ready to go.
I'm up for the challenge.
I'm back in the flow.
I breathe.
So if you are feeling a little bit down and the thoughts in your head are going round and round,
If your shoulders are tight and your jaw is clenched,
If your knees are rigid and your back is tense,
Just breathe.
That's a deep breath in and a long,
Slow breath out.
Release all your tension.
Let it just flow out.
That's a deep breath in and a long,
Slow breath out.
Release all your tension.
Let it just flow out.
And one more time,
Just to be sure.
That's a deep breath in and a long,
Slow breath out.
Release all your tension.
Let it just flow out.
Now that I've told you,
You know what to do.
These words will remind you right on cue to breathe.
Now smile.
