Carry Something

When you carry a child on your back, your back gets round.

Cat Back

So a person with a round "cat back" may be carrying something heavy.

The heavy thing is not a bag, but a feeling.

Light Words

When you feel worried, try light words: "It's OK! It's OK!" or "Not real, not real!"

⚡ TRY IT
Spin a light word
The penguin carries 4 heavy thoughts. Spin, say a light word, and 1 thought falls off.
🪨 My shoelace broke. Bad luck? 🪨 Things are too good. Something bad is coming? 🪨 What if… what if…? 🪨 I failed today.
Tap "Spin" to pick a light word 👇 👌 "It's OK! It's OK!" 💭 "I'm thinking too much!" 🫧 "Not real, not real!" 📚 "That was a good lesson!" 😎 "No big deal!" 🍀 "Lucky it was only this much!"
🐕 Dog back! Chest up, and your back feels light.
Dog Back

Then your chest opens, and your "cat back" becomes a "dog back."

📚 I learned this from the Japanese blog "Panda no Ondo".
