Big Bird imagines a comfy nest with Alan and shows us how we can imagine our very own comfy place, too.

1. Get Ready
   • Sit down and get comfy.
   • Close your eyes and take three deep breaths.
2. Imagine
   • Imagine a place in which you would feel safe and comfortable. It’s all yours.
   • What do you see? What do you want to be there? What colors are those things? What do they feel like?
   • Is there a person or an animal with you?
   • Try to stay there even if you start thinking about other things. Keep coming back to your place. Take three deep breaths in your place.
   • What do you smell? What do you hear?
3. Notice
   • How do you feel, now that you’re there?
   • How does your breathing feel? Fast or slow? Short or long?
   • Stay here for as long as you like.
4. Come Back Slowly
   • When you are ready, cover your eyes with your hands.
   • Then open your eyes. Spread your fingers out so a little light comes in.
   • Now take your hands away. Here you are.
   • You can return to your safe place whenever you need to.
