Hey you!

I know you're panicking right now.

Let's just do a little practice together,

Huh?

Shall we?

I know it's really hard to focus,

To stand still,

To be still.

That's okay.

Let's just do this little practice together.

You'll feel better afterwards.

Just breathe in a few more times.

Just try and quiet your breath a little bit.

I know it's difficult but just follow mine.

In and out.

I'm watching it again.

I know,

I know.

Let's do it again.

Just follow my breath.

Inhale and exhale.

It's okay.

It's okay,

My dear.

Inhale and exhale.

You're doing so well.

Another inhale.

Exhale.

Just continue to breathe like this.

Inhale and exhale.

It's hard,

I know.

Continue to breathe.

You're doing so well.

Just while you continue to breathe,

Just look around you.

Now tell me,

Speaking out loud,

Five things that you can see.

Great.

Thank you.

Well done.

Now really deeply listen to what's going on around you.

And tell me four things,

Out loud,

Just say it out loud,

Wherever you are,

Four things that you can hear.

Amazing.

Now focus on the things you can feel because you touch them with your body.

Tell me,

Speaking out loud,

Wherever you are,

Three things you touch or you feel touching your body.

Great.

Now let's focus on smells.

Maybe close your eyes and take a deep breath in again.

And tell me two different things,

Out loud,

Wherever you are,

That you're smelling right now.

Great.

And one last thing,

Focused on what you taste.

And tell me one thing that you're tasting right now.

Great.

Thank you.

Take one more deep breath or a couple more.

You are doing so well.

You can repeat this practice to just arrive in the present moment to get your focus from outside threat to safety and teaching your nervous system that you are actually in a safe environment right now with this practice.

And just know you can save this practice and whenever you need,

You can just quickly open the app,

Click on it,

And you straight away got help to get you out of this panic.

You got this.

We got this.

Your help.

And you're safe.
