It's good to be calm Let's calm down together You're welcome to position yourself on a chair On the floor On a bed Or on the ground, outside, under the sky. If we can practice becoming calm together, right now, Then we can practice becoming calm throughout our day. If you'd like, I invite you to take three big breaths. Maybe you're already feeling a little more calm. And it's good to be calm Especially during a stressful time. You're welcome to take more big breaths any time throughout this exercise. Now, let's cultivate relaxation in our bodies. Let gravity ease your body Let gravity take your body Onto the surface On which your body is positioned. Let your body fall Exactly where it is. It's good to be calm. I encourage you to bring softness into your experience, Taking gentle breaths in, and out. Maybe you're having thoughts, Maybe you're having emotions, Maybe you're having sensations in your body. That's great - all of those are great to have. Continue to let your body fall exactly where it is, And you can maintain a sense of calm In the face of any thought, emotion, or feeling, that you're having in your body. We are in a stressful time in the world For various reasons. But if we can maintain a sense of calm as we are going through this time We may be able to make better decisions, We may sleep better, And we may be kinder to ourselves and to those around us. And the more that we do this, the more calm we can be. Especially when we are in a stressful situation. Wherever you are, Whatever you're doing, Whatever time of day it is: it's good to be calm.
