Take a moment

[zoemaisel]

• Take moment to breathe!! I like to imagine filling up my lungs from the bottom up when I am stressed out. Inhale from the bottom and exhale from the top.

• Do some pushups or a handstand

• Think about the fact that everything will work out and that even though planning and preparation is good, life will go on without it

• Maybe make a list, but I think you've been making a lot of lists already

• Consider going on the NBA reddit page for 5-10 minutes to relax

• Know that you are smart and competent and good! And that even in moments when you are not feeling smart and competent, you are valuable for who you are, not just how well you perform

• You are doing so much! It makes sense to be stressed out! Know this and be kind with yourself! Talk to yourself like you would talk to a friend!!!!

• Think about all the people who love and support you and who will help you if you ask for it, or will be there to try to make you have a wry-grin when they are trying to get your mind off it

• Think about Lebron and basketball!

• Think about what you're going to eat for dinner tonight with your friends

• Add your own boxes as needed

• (I love you!)
