Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for listening today.
My name is Sarah.
Today we're going to talk about worry.
So in our world today it can be really hectic and it's easy to get stressed out and worry about how people see us and how we fit in.
Sometimes we worry about our parents maybe fighting or a friend group not accepting us or not getting invited somewhere.
Maybe an upcoming exam is giving you some stress.
So we have all these things happen and how our bodies react.
First the stress is in our mind and then we can store it in our bodies.
And that feels like tension and discomfort.
Sometimes you can actually get a stomach ache or you can feel like your throat is sore because you get a lump in your throat when you're really worried.
So what we're going to do today is we're going to breathe into our worry and we're going to expand and try to let it go.
So if you can find a quiet spot please sit down,
Close your eyes if you feel comfortable to do so.
If you don't that's okay.
Just soften your gaze.
Now take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.
And notice how your body feels.
Can you find any place in your body that feels tension or discomfort?
Once you find that space just breathe into it.
So we're going to breathe in to the count of three.
So breathe in one,
Two,
Three.
Hold for two seconds.
One,
Two.
Exhale for four.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Now let's try that again.
Breathe in for three.
One,
Two,
Three.
Hold for two.
One,
Two.
Exhale for four.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Now keep doing this on your own and whatever rhythm you find that works for you is perfect.
And just keep finding any tension or discomfort and breathe into it and just let your breath expand and open that space and then as you exhale just let it all go.
Just breathe a couple more times.
And know that your breath is always there for you.
You can always stop,
Sit down,
Close your eyes,
Slow down your breath.
And you're going to realize that you can let go of a lot of your worry and stress by just doing these simple breathing exercises.
Now remember please to thank yourself for giving your body and your brain this moment to feel free and calm and a little bit of love.
And just let go of some stress and worry.
So thank you so much for listening.
Namaste.
