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
