Hi there,
I'm glad you're here.
I'm going to walk you through a couple of quick nervous system reset exercises.
And then we'll do some affirmations to make sure you feel solid and steady for the rest of your day.
Are you ready?
First,
We'll do some box breathing.
I'll walk you through it first.
Okay.
What we're going to do is inhale for five counts.
And then at the very top of your breath,
You'll hold it for five counts.
After that,
You'll release and exhale for five counts.
And then hold your breath at the bottom for another five.
Sound good.
I'll walk you through.
Here we go.
Inhale 54321 hold 54321 exhale 54321 and hold 54321.
Awesome.
Back to regular breathing.
And then I'm going to walk you through the next part.
The beginning is the same.
We'll inhale for a count of five.
But then at the top of your inhale,
You're going to tense up your hands and arms and legs and feet.
Careful not to bring too much tension into your shoulders.
Let's focus on collecting energy in the hands,
Wrists,
Feet,
And legs.
We'll hold for a five count,
Maybe just a little bit longer,
Then release everything.
Okay,
Let's try it.
Are you ready?
Inhale for five seconds.
Hold your breath.
Tense up your hands,
Wrists,
Legs,
Feet as hard as you can for 321 and release 2345.
Good.
You did it.
One more time,
But we're going to add one more bit.
On the exhale at the end,
You're going to hum.
It might feel weird,
But look,
It's a scientifically proven panic attack hack.
So remember,
If you're ever helping someone else get through a panic attack,
This is a fabulous easy fix.
Are you ready?
Inhale 54321 hold scrunch everything up as tight as you can and then release humming like this.
Amazing.
I bet you're feeling pretty good now.
Let's take that excellent energy into three affirmations for solid,
Steady,
Whole self stability for the day,
Shall we?
First one goes like this.
Repeat after me.
I've got my own back.
Whenever I need support,
I turn within and find a friend right here.

Next up,
All day long,
My breath is slow and easy.
My body is calm and in tune with my quiet mind.

Deep inside,

Carrying me through my splendid life.
