Relieve Anxiety

(upbeat music) Anxiety is not fun. Anytime you start to notice signs of anxiety in your body, like belly flutters, jittery feet, quick breath or a tingling in your face and hands. You can manage them and stay calm by focusing on your breath. Stand in mountain pose with your feet hip width apart, your knees and shoulders relaxed, and your palms facing forward. When you focus on a long, slow exhale, you are sending a message to your body that you are calm, you are safe, you are okay. Take a full breath in through your nose. Let your belly soften and expand as it fills with air. Now, exhale slowly and completely. As you continue breathing, I'll open and close this ball called a Hoberman's sphere. To help set the pace. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Moving your body along with your breath helps strengthen the message you're sending to your body and mind. Breath, you are calm, you are safe, you are okay. Inhale and lift your arms overhead. Slowly exhale and lower them down. Taking the whole length of the exhalation to bring them to your sides. Five more breaths here. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Now inhale your arms up. And as you exhale, fold forward. Inhale, and roll your body up. Exhale, mountain pose. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale, one, two. Exhale, one, two, three, four. Inhale, exhale. Inhale your arms up. And as you exhale, gently stretch to the right side. Back to the center. And exhale to the left. Inhale to the middle. Finally, bring one hand to your heart, and one to your belly. Close your eyes if that feels okay for you. Notice how you are feeling. What is happening in your body? What is happening in your mind? When you start to notice signs of anxiety in your body, try making your exhale twice as long as your inhale. If you can, move your body along with your breath. Let your body know that while you might be nervous, you are also confident in your ability to meet whatever challenges come in your way.
