(Teacher) IMPROVE changes the moment’s feel. (Teacher) I — Imagery: picture calm. (Inner) I see a safe place. (Teacher) M — Meaning: find purpose. (Inner) This struggle can teach me. (Teacher) P — Prayer/Pause: ask/allow. (Inner) I’m willing; I’m held. (Teacher) R — Relaxation: breathe, release. (Inner) My shoulders drop; my jaw softens. (Teacher) O — One thing at a time. (Inner) Just this, right now. (Teacher) V — Vacation (brief mental break). (Inner) A minute outside, a sky check. (Teacher) E — Encouragement: talk to yourself kindly. (Inner) I can do this; I’ve done hard things. (Chorus – both) Improve the moment — small changes make big peace.
