Chapters

When you're feeling overwhelmed, and this might look a little funny, is you can keep your face perfectly straight, and then you can look to the right and left over and over until you yawn. And you use your eyes to calm you down. So I'm going to show you what it looks like. The face stays straight and you look back and forth horizontally, almost as if you're scanning the horizon. You can do it with your eyes open or close. Until you yawn. Okay, I feel the yawn. Not going to yawn.
