Guided Teacher Script

Take a moment to get comfortable on your chair … and you may find it helpful to close your eyes during this exercise …

Notice any sounds you hear in the distance … notice any sounds you hear just outside the room … inside the room … bring your attention to your body, noticing your feet on the floor … your back against the chair … and just be aware of what your hands are in contact with … and bring your attention to your breathing – just notice it …

Now bring to mind the positive things you identified about yourself … pick one of these to say to yourself in your head … say this to yourself a few times… Allow yourself to really believe this – allow yourself to experience it fully...

See what you see … hear the sounds … really feel what you feel … notice how good it is feeling that way … this is the real you … and you are happy with yourself … take another few moments to really get a sense of all that …

Now begin to notice your breathing again … notice where your hands are … notice the sounds around you, in the room, coming from outside … and slowly begin to open your eyes and come back to the room …
