Help to Refine I Feel Good! A Book for Children and Adults
Excerpts
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS BOOK WILL BE ILLUSTRATED
Hi. I’m Alan. Sometimes, I tell myself things like, “I’m not good for anything,” “I can’t do this,” or “I keep messing up.” Saying these words makes me feel like a soggy towel. But I know how to push thoughts that bother me away. I know how to have an excellent day or a relaxing night. When I read or speak my feel-good words three times, and say them differently each time, they wrap around me and make me feel good, like a warm blanket.
[Words between asterisks are the fear that I’m neutralizing. Illustration suggestions are available.]
*I’ll never be able to ______.*
I can do it. Yes, I can.
I can do it. Yes, I can.
I can do it. Yes, I can.

Part 1 – Warm Up (About 1 Minute)
1. Stretch and stand up straight, but not at attention.[2] Bend your knees slightly.[3]
2. Put your right hand on your tummy. Close your eyes. Breathe normally. Put your left hand on top of your right hand and rub your belly nine times in one direction. Then rub it nine times in the other direction.[4]
3. Put a smile on your face.[5] Pretend your arms are ropes and swing them from left to right, and then from right to left.[6] Go slow, medium, or fast. Slow down if you have trouble.
4. Swing your body from side-to-side so that your right arm taps your left shoulder and your left arm taps your right shoulder.[7]

5. Swing your body from side-to-side so that your right arm taps your left kidney, and then your left arm touches your right kidney.[8] Be gentle.
Part 2 Push Stress Away (About 2 Minutes)
6. Take a deep breath.[9] Reach both of your arms straight up, so your palms face the sky. (Your back will stretch. That’s okay.) Whoosh your breath out and say, “I’m pushing away all of the things that are coming down at me.” [10] *
