1 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,000 Speaker 1: Cassis, I just wanted to pop in with a loving 2 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: reminder for you to remember to breathe and take care 3 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: of yourself. When we get difficult news, even when it's 4 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: not surprising, it can still knock the wind out of us. 5 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, hopeless, angry, are a little boss. 6 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: Your feelings are valid and it's okay for you to 7 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: have them. For the next few moments. I want you 8 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: to join me in a few things to help reduce 9 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: any tension you might be feeling. When you're ready, sit up, 10 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: I lie down in a position that feels comfortable for you. 11 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: If you'd like to close your eyes, I invite you 12 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: to do that as well. I want you to start 13 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: by taking a deep breath in and notice how it 14 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: feels to have the air fill up your lungs, sort 15 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: of like filling a balloon. Hold it in for five seconds, 16 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: release the breath slowly, and with it any tension you're feeling. Now, 17 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: take another deep breath in for me and hold it 18 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: for five seconds, and this time release it even slower. 19 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: And one more deep breath in and hold it and 20 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: release it slowly. Now I want you to make some small, 21 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: gentle circles with your neck. First, leaning your head to 22 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: your right shoulder and then forward, then your left shoulder, 23 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: and then back again. Lean your head to your right shoulder, 24 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: forward to your left shoulder, and then back. Now, let's 25 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: make some small, gentle circles with our shoulders. Roll your 26 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: shoulders forward for five seconds, yeah, and then backwards for 27 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: five seconds. Again, let's roll them forward for five seconds 28 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and then backwards for five seconds. For the rest of 29 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: the day, I want you to make sure you're staying hydrated, 30 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: that you eat something, even if it's just a little. 31 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: And I want you to make plans to do something 32 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: that helps you to feel restored and connected soon. Maybe 33 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: that's hanging out with your loved ones, watching a movie 34 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: that makes you laugh, writing poetry, going for a long 35 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: walk or a hike, volunteering in your neighborhood, it anything 36 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: that typically leaves you feeling more connected and joyful. I 37 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: want you to continue to feel your feelings and to 38 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: pay attention to what they're communicating to you. If you 39 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: feel inclined, journal about it. And I want you to 40 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: return to this track as often as you need to. 41 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: You're not alone in this. We got you continue to 42 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: do your very best to take care of yourself
