1 00:00:05,921 --> 00:00:15,401 Speaker 1: Approache production. Hi, I'm Jennifer Cray. Welcome to your evening mantra. 2 00:00:19,001 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: If it's safe to do so, close your eyes or 3 00:00:22,841 --> 00:00:31,481 Speaker 1: lower your gaze. Relax your eyes, relax your ears, relax 4 00:00:31,521 --> 00:00:38,801 Speaker 1: your jaw, relax your shoulders down, and bring your attention 5 00:00:39,721 --> 00:00:46,721 Speaker 1: to your breath, drawing your breath down into your throat. 6 00:00:50,521 --> 00:00:54,321 Speaker 1: When we yell, usually the person we are speaking to 7 00:00:55,121 --> 00:01:01,161 Speaker 1: is in another room, or we're angry and not being heard. 8 00:01:04,401 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: When we're not in the same room, we can make 9 00:01:08,321 --> 00:01:18,361 Speaker 1: assumptions about what's happening. Your child, who is unseen, might 10 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 1: be doing what you asked, or they may be so 11 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:32,641 Speaker 1: focused on a task that they can't hear you. Your 12 00:01:32,681 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: coworker who's in another office, maybe on the phone, or 13 00:01:38,881 --> 00:01:46,241 Speaker 1: have someone else in the room. Your partner might have 14 00:01:46,321 --> 00:01:52,481 Speaker 1: earplugs in until we are in the same room. If 15 00:01:52,521 --> 00:01:59,041 Speaker 1: we don't know the situation, the energy used to raise 16 00:01:59,041 --> 00:02:07,201 Speaker 1: our voice is lost. Being in the same room as 17 00:02:07,241 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: the person you want to speak to ensures that the 18 00:02:11,041 --> 00:02:19,641 Speaker 1: communication is valuable. If we are being yelled at from 19 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: someone else in another room, we can request that they 20 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:29,241 Speaker 1: come and see us. When we're in the same room, 21 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,081 Speaker 1: we can make eye contact and ensure that the message 22 00:02:34,121 --> 00:02:40,601 Speaker 1: gets heard. Today's mantra, I go to the person I 23 00:02:40,641 --> 00:02:45,921 Speaker 1: want to speak to. Repeat to yourself, either out loud 24 00:02:46,601 --> 00:02:50,721 Speaker 1: or in your own mind. I go to the person 25 00:02:51,161 --> 00:02:56,761 Speaker 1: I want to speak to. Follow us on Instagram at 26 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,401 Speaker 1: your morning mantra
