Hi there.

I want to let you know a super simple trick that you can do every day to be super focused,

Super calm,

And give you some super powers right now.

All you need to do is take some slow and calm breaths.

Whenever you're feeling upset,

If you feel angry or sad or hurt,

You can use the super power of calm breathing to feel better.

Let's give it a try.

Just take a seat,

Get yourself nice and comfortable,

And take a big slow breath in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Are you ready?

Let's do it.

That's it.

That's all you need to do.

If you find yourself feeling angry or upset or if you hurt yourself in some way and there's no one there to give you a big warm hug,

Just give yourself some time to do some calm breaths.

I usually find that after three slow,

Calm breaths,

I'm feeling absolutely perfect.

And I'm back and I'm ready to go.

Let's do three slow,

Calm breaths together right now.

Are you ready?

Let's begin.

Great work.

How do you feel now?

So,

If you're ever feeling angry or upset or sore,

Just take a moment and do three slow,

Calm breaths.

We'll play this recording and you can breathe along with me together.

And you know what?

If after three breaths you're still feeling a little bit sad or still feeling a little bit sore or still feeling a little bit angry,

That's okay.

That's completely fine.

You know what you can do if you still feel a little bit sore or angry or sad?

You got it.

You just do some more calm breaths.

Just another three calm breaths.

Let's do it right now.

You ready?

Let's begin.

Great work.

Together with calm breathing,

We can become real-world superheroes.

Have a great day.

This talk was taken from the book Mindfulness,

A guidebook to the present moment.
