[Intro] [Soft, steady drum beat - like a heartbeat] [Gentle rain sounds in the background] The world is loud, the room is bright, And things don’t feel exactly right. Don’t you worry, don’t you fret, It’s just time for a "Brain Reset." [Verse 1 - The 5-4-3-2-1 Technique] Let’s ground our feet upon the floor, And look around for something more. Name FIVE things that you can see, FOUR things to touch, just like me. THREE things to hear, TWO to smell, ONE thing to taste... and you’re doing well. [Chorus] Take a breath... let it out slow... You’ve got a place where you can go. Inside your mind, or a quiet chair, The "Calm Down Magic" is always there. (Deep breath in... hold... and out...) [Verse 2 - The Squeeze & Pressure] If your body feels like it’s gonna "pop," And the wiggly-jitters just won’t stop. Give yourself a Butterfly Hug, Squeeze your arms like a bug in a rug! [Use the Emergency Cuddle Protocol—deep pressure] Push your palms against the wall, Stand up steady, stand up tall. [Bridge - The School Strategy] [Music gets very soft and rhythmic] In the classroom, if it’s too much noise, Or you're losing track of all your joys: Ask for a BREAK, take a WALK in the hall, Use your FIDGET, or a bouncy ball. It’s not a "Bad Day," it’s just a "Big Feeling," And you’re the one who’s doing the healing. [Verse 3 - The Bubble Breath] Imagine you’re blowing a bubble so big, Soft and round, like a dancing jig. In through your nose... (1, 2, 3) Out through your mouth... (Steady and free) The "Reset Button" is under your hand, You’re the boss of your own dreamland. [Outro] You’re safe. You’re okay. We can try again another way. [Music fades out slowly with a soft chime] [End]
