RELAXATION

CHILL OUT!

Feeling a little STRESSED OUT?  When you feel anxious about homework, classwork, a test, anything; try the following:

· Alpha Breathing

Count to 4, breathing in through your nose.

Hold for 4 counts.

Breathe out for 4 counts through your mouth.

Pause for 4 counts, then repeat several times.

· Affirmations

Read aloud or write positive statements several times, such as:

“YES, I CAN!” 

“LEARNING IS EASY!” 

“I’M AWESOME!”

· Visualization

Close your eyes...see yourself achieving your goal...believe 

that you can do anything you want...reach your goals by telling 

yourself that you are someone that can make things happen!

· Change Your Tape

You know how sometimes you hear a song you don’t like and you 

switch to a different one?  Stop playing the track in your mind that 

says you can’t do it and switch to one that says you can.  You are 

a person who can do hard things!  If everything was easy, people 

would graduate after first grade!

· Relaxation

-Lean back in your chair, feet flat on the floor, rest hands on lap.

Begin by stretching your legs as far as you can...relax...then stretch 

your feet...relax...then tighten the muscles on your calves...relax, 

continue going up your body one muscle group at a time up to your 

face.

-Scrunch your face as tight as you can, relax all the muscles, then 

repeat.

-ZZZZZZZZZ...Not just for sleeping!  Say a word beginning with 

the letter Z as you breathe out holding the sound of the word until 

you are out of breath:  

ZEBRAAAAAA…ZIPPERRRRRR…

ZEROOOOOOOO…ZENNNNNNNNN…

RELAX!
