UAMS Health - Calm Down Intro

Transcript

We all have feelings. That’s a good thing! Like the feeling excitement. It makes me run faster! Feeling scared? That’s helped keep me safe. Sometimes feelings get too big for my body. Like when I’m playing ball or excited that it’s Friday afternoon. I promise I don’t want to  get on anyone s bad side! So I made a list of things that make me feel calmer. Taking deep breaths is one that works. I imagine I’m filling up a balloon inside my belly. Then I slowly let the air back out. Another thing on my list is to look for things that are green. Green is my favorite color. It makes me calm down. Let me tell you about the muscle squeeze. I scrunch my shoulders up around my ears. I tighten every muscle I can. I  squeeze really hard for a few seconds. Then let go. These are three things on my chill list. What will you write on yours? If you want more ideas, follow us online. If you look for calm, you ll find it.
