TAKE TIME TO BREATHE

Step 1 Teach yourself to breathe to relax



(if anyone has a good visual link ?)

Step 2 Close your eyes. Focus on your breathing. Visit mentally any parts of your body that you can feel tension in. Adjust your position to allow that part of the body to be supported. At any time of agitation re-focus on your breathing.

You'll be surprised how quickly your body will re-learn its breathing technique.

Apparently to balance brain application, breathe in & out with alternatate nostrils (You will have to cover each in turn)

A WAY FORWARD

Promise yourself that all you are going to do, to yourself and others, is going to be SAFE and GENTLE. The only time to rush is an 'emergency', but even then things can still be under control.

ALWAYS SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT
