- Hi, I'm Chad.
Join me for a moment
to do a practice called "slow-mo catch."
You know how after a great catch
in a football or a softball game,
it's often shown in slow motion on TV?
The player's focused, aware, and ready to catch the ball.
In this practice, instead of catching the ball,
we'll be catching the end of our breath.
When you breathe in, hands open,
when you breathe out, hands close.
Breathing in, hands open,
breathing out, catching the end of your breath.
In, open,
out, catching the end of your breath.
In, open,
out, close.
In, open,
out, catching the end of your breath.
Notice: How are things for you now
after doing this brief practice?
Is your body calm?
What thoughts are you thinking?
Can you think of a time when
you could do this practice during your day?
Keep trying this at home,
and we'll see you next time when we get up and go.
