2023.07.16 – 0927 – What To Do In The Moment When The Nerves Feel Real

VOICE BOX

What to do in-the-moment when the nerves feel very real? STOPP:

S – Slow down

Pause and look and take it in.

T – Take a breath

And then in the event, calming breaths, relax your mouth with lip trills and blows, be grounded on your feet. Connect with the ground and wiggle your toes

O – Observe how you feel now

P – Pull back. Think what a reassuring friend would say to you right now

P – Practice some mindfulness and visualization

((make these more studio based))

A quick and easy mindfulness exercise to help reign in racing thoughts is to sit quietly and think of:

·        5 things you can see: your hands, the sky, a woman in a red dress

·        4 things you can physically feel: your feet firmly on the floor, one hand holding another

·        3 things you can hear: friendly chatter, the wind, your breath

·        2 things you can smell: fresh coffee

·        1 thing you can taste: a mint, the fresh air

This exercise helps move your mind to the moment and interrupt unhealthy thought loops
