Take another deep breath and focus on your feet. Now take another gentle breath and send it straight into your belly. With your mind, follow it in, then out. Now think of your place in your team. What is your role? What are you meant to do? What is the ‘place’ of your part in the grand picture? Think of this for a moment. (pause 2 sec) Everyone in the team works as a part of a whole. Is there anyone in particular you are meant to be working with? Consider each person affected by what you need to do. (pause 4 sec) How are you affected by others? Reflect on this for a moment. (pause 3 sec) Think about each member of your team. What are their strengths? What are you expecting them to do? Is there someone in your team who is very helpful to you? Take a moment and thank them in your mind for doing that. (pause 3 sec) Now consider your main strengths. List them slowly in your mind. Be honest. (pause 4 sec) Consider what it is that your team is relying on you to do. See yourself doing this. (pause 3 sec) Is there someone who is relying on you more than the others? Someone whose actions will specifically be affected by what you do? See yourself doing your best to work together. (pause 3 sec) Now see yourself and the whole team working really well with each other. See yourself doing this very well, down to the smallest detail. In your mind go through all the things you can do to master this cooperation and team work. (pause 5 sec) Imagine yourself doing this consistently well to the end of the task (or the event/game/play/concert). (pause 4 sec) Imagine how it feels to complete the task with your team and be successful. Feel the success, see yourself smiling, keep this smile inside. (pause 5 sec) Gently focus on your feet again. Remember you are sitting on the log. In your mind stand up and walk back to the forest. Focus on your bare feet on the forest floor, feel the cool bed of leaves touching your toes and your heels. (pause 3 sec) Now slowly bring your awareness to this room. Feel your feet on the ground. Feel your roots deep in the ground. As you keep focus on your feet, bring your awareness to this room now fully. Become aware of the chair under your body. Listen for the sounds around you. Bring your mind back to your feet. Where are they? Can you feel them? Gently wiggle your toes. Feel the full sensation of the floor beneath your feet. Slightly press them on the floor. Wiggle your fingers and rub your palms. Move your shoulders.Take a deep breath. When you are ready slowly open your eyes, first looking down then up and up until you are looking straight ahead. Do this in your own time. When your eyes are open give yourself a good stretch if at all possible in silence to give others space to do the same in their own time.
