TOOLBOX Song
Music by Stacy Ryan
Press the button below to hear the toolbox song!
If I’m feeling upset and I need to calm down,
I take a breath…
A slow deep breath…
I put my hand on my stomach
And the other on my heart
And take a breath…
A slow deep breath…
When life gets too stressful and I need to feel safe,
I find a place…
A quiet place…
I go into my mind
And the stress goes away,
I found my place…
My quiet place…
I listen with my ears, my eyes, and my heart so
I understand…
How you feel…
I pay attention to what
is going on around me so
I understand…
How you feel…
When I care for others, I care for myself
That’s empathy…
That’s empathy…
I put myself in your shoes
To feel what you feel
That’s empathy…
That’s empathy…
I have a right to my own space and so do you,
I need my space…
My personal space…
Every person has boundaries
And I respect yours
I need my space…
My personal space…
I can use the right words, in the right way
I problem solve…
And use my words…
When I ask for what I want
And what I need
I use my words…
In the right way…
When something little is bothering me
I let it go…
In the garbage can…
I let the little things go, so I can move on
I let it go…
In the garbage can…
I take time-in and time-away
To help myself…
Use time wisely…
I think things through and self-reflect
To help myself…
Use time wisely…
I treat others with kindness and appreciation
I say please…
And thank you…
These are the magic words
to help you feel good
I say please…
And thank you…
I admit my mistakes and work to forgive yours
I forgive…
And apologize…
I say sorry and I mean it
so I can heal and move on
I forgive…
And apologize…
I am strong enough to wait and not be impatient
I have patience…
And quietly wait…
I tolerate things I can not control
I have patience…
And quietly wait…
I have the courage to do the right thing
I show strength…
And bravery too…
I act with courage and follow my heart
I show strength…
And bravery too…
These are the twelve tools
in our toolbox
I will use…
The tools every day!
When we better ourselves
the world gets better
I will use…
The tools every day!
I take a breath…
A slow deep breath…
I put my hand on my stomach
And the other on my heart
And take a breath…
A slow deep breath…
