00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:15,401
Speaker 1: Appote production. Hi, I'm Jennifer CRAI. Welcome to your evening mantra.

2
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,281
Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or

3
00:00:22,321 --> 00:00:31,281
Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax

4
00:00:31,361 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down and bring your attention

5
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:47,801
Speaker 1: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your heart.

6
00:00:51,321 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: Feeling irritable, restless, and down in lockdown and isolation. May

7
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: I get you thinking that something is wrong with you,

8
00:01:06,561 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: But these are all signs that your body is working

9
00:01:09,761 --> 00:01:17,601
Speaker 1: well and responding perfectly. Being under chronic stress affects the

10
00:01:17,681 --> 00:01:25,761
Speaker 1: processing in our brains, luring the tolerance for pain, unrest,

11
00:01:26,681 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: and being uncomfortable. We'll have trouble making good sound decisions

12
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:42,601
Speaker 1: and empathizing with others is difficult at first. Experts give

13
00:01:42,681 --> 00:01:48,401
Speaker 1: us good advice to get out and exercise and connect

14
00:01:48,441 --> 00:01:53,801
Speaker 1: where we can and just feeling the sunshine on our skin.

15
00:01:56,921 --> 00:02:00,361
Speaker 1: You may also find it helpful to try to accept

16
00:02:01,041 --> 00:02:08,041
Speaker 1: and understand that these feelings of anxiety, depression, and irritability

17
00:02:09,401 --> 00:02:15,561
Speaker 1: are a normal response to your external conditions, that you

18
00:02:15,601 --> 00:02:32,921
Speaker 1: are healthy and responding well. Sit with this, being comfortable

19
00:02:33,881 --> 00:02:47,161
Speaker 1: with being uncomfortable, cultivating an attitude of resilience. Today's mantra,

20
00:02:48,481 --> 00:02:56,401
Speaker 1: I am comfortable with being uncomfortable. Repeat to yourself, either

21
00:02:56,441 --> 00:03:01,921
Speaker 1: out loud or in your mind. I am comfortable with

22
00:03:02,041 --> 00:03:09,681
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable. Follow us on Instagram at your morning mantra
