    4. Back straight...

    5. Eyes closed.

    6. Breathe in... Breathe out...

    7. Empty your miiiind.

    8. This is not going to work.

    9. I breathe ALL THE TIME, and my stress is still there.

    20. I'm taking time out of the day to do this for ME. I got this.

    21. Hold up... Is thinking about clearing my mind actually filling up my mind with thoughts?

    22. YO... maybe I should be high for this.

    23. How do people do this so easily? That's what I really wanna know.

    24. There are other things I could be doing tbh.
