Hi there! Let’s go on a fun, relaxing adventure together. Look at the picture of the boy sitting on a log, with baby birds playing around him. They’re so cute, hopping in and out of the puddle! Let’s imagine we’re right there with them. First, take a big, deep breath in, like you’re smelling fresh rain on a spring day. Now, breathe out slowly, like you’re blowing gently on a dandelion. Now, close your eyes and imagine you’re sitting on a big, comfy log, just like the boy. The baby birds are all around you, chirping and playing. They’re so tiny and fluffy, and they love jumping in and out of the puddle! As you watch the birds, you feel happy and calm. Imagine holding one of the baby birds in your hands. It’s soft and light, like a little puff of feathers, and it makes you smile. Every time you breathe in, think about the happy sound of the birds chirping and splashing in the puddle. Every time you breathe out, imagine how the soft feathers of the bird feel in your hands. The birds are having so much fun, splashing and hopping around, and their joy makes you feel peaceful and relaxed. You can see the water splashing as they jump in and out, and it makes you giggle inside. As you sit there, imagine all your worries floating away, like little bubbles popping in the puddle. You’re just enjoying this happy moment with the baby birds. When you’re ready, take one more deep breath, and as you breathe out, imagine the birds gathering around you, making you feel warm and cozy. Now, you feel calm, happy, and relaxed, just like the boy sitting on the log. Great job!
