4. Relax Your Legs — From Thighs to Feet
- Start with your thighs — let them go heavy
- Move to your calves, knees, and shins
- Finally, relax your ankles and feet — toes uncurling naturally
🧘♀️ Imagine your legs are sinking into quicksand.
5. Clear Your Mind for 10 Seconds
This is the hardest part — but here’s a trick:
- Visualize a calming scene:
- Lying in a quiet canoe on a still lake
- Floating in a pitch-black hammock under the stars
- Snuggled in a warm blanket in a silent cabin
🌌 If thoughts return, repeat: “Don’t think. Just breathe.”
6. Repeat a Calming Word or Phrase (Optional)
- Silently say: “Don’t think” or “Relax” with each breath
- Or use a neutral word like “peace” or “heavy”
- This acts as a mental anchor
✅ Helps break the cycle of racing thoughts.
