Wake up your body with that dinosaur energy.

Imagine you are a friendly dinosaur,

Waking up in a soft sunny valley.

You stretch your big dinosaur legs and lift your arms high like giant wings.

Feel the warm sun touching your back.

Now gently stomp your feet left,

Right,

Left,

Right,

Feeling strong and steady.

Take a deep breath in through your nose,

Like a mighty dinosaur roar,

But very softly.

Breathe out and smile.

Today you are ready to walk tall and strong.

Just like your dinosaur self.

I am strong.

I am brave.

I am ready for today.
