![]() ![]() Many people start either with the muscles in their face or those their toes, and then work their way through the muscles across their bodies to the opposite end. As you do this, notice how your body sensations change. Tense up one part of your body at a time, and then slowly release your muscles. Lay on a soft surface, such as your bed, a carpet, or a yoga mat. Releasing any physical tension can help relieve stress in your body and mind. When we feel mentally stressed, we often feel physically stressed as well. Repeat five times, or as long as you need to feel relaxed. Feel your belly rise and fall as you breathe in and out. Breathe in to a slow count of three, and then breathe out to the same slow count of three. Sit or lay down in a quiet and safe place such as on your bed or the floor in your home and put one of your hands on your belly. Breathing exercises are one of the simplest relaxation strategies, and can effectively calm your stressed-out body and mind anywhere at any time. THERE ARE SO MANY ROADS LEFT= Life will bring more possibilities.When it comes to relaxation strategies, the easier the better! If you can find five minutes of your day for yourself, you can easily slip in a simple relaxation strategy. Maybe I’ll be with you because I love you, or I’m with you because the problem affects both of us or because we are both responsible for what happened. WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER= You’re not alone, I will support you. "The last thing on my mind" = Something I will never think of. THE LAST THING ON MY MIND IS TO LEAVE YOU= A very emphatic way to say: I will never leave you, I have no intention to leave you. ![]() The saying goes that “ if you play with fire, you’ll get burnt”, because when you do something dangerous you’ll probably suffer the bad consequences of it. I’M PLAYING WITH FIRE= I’m in a very dangerous situation, very risky. This change is more common in BrE than in AmE but it happens in both. So in modern pronunciation the words fire and far may sound the same, also the words tower and tar, etc. The same process also happens to both triphthongs: /aɪə/ and /aʊə/, so the word POWER may also sound /pɑ:ə/ or /pɑ:/. It’s as if it’s going to rain = I’m not very sure but I think it’s going to rain, it looks like it.įIRE= In "perfect English" this word is pronounced /faɪə/ but people usually pronounce it /fɑ:ə/ and sometimes (like here), it is pronounced /fɑ:/. It’s going to rain = I know it or I believe that. The phrase “it’s as if” doesn’t mean anything really, or it means the same as “more or less”. IT’S AS IF I’M SCARED= I think/feel I’m scared I’m very afraid.

Musicians involved in organic music resonate positive vibes in their musicĮnded up on a broken train with nobody I know. *Organic music: Music that deals with natural, percussion, acoustic based instruments. So it was one of the harder tracks for me to produce, but also the most rewarding." The organic-ness gives a more classic field to it. It's really effective - you can't tell if it's a full dance track or really laid-back. And we picked up the strangest pedal combinations to get all these weird sounds. We used some great session musicians who had worked with Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson. So when I came into producing 'Relax' I made sure that most of the sounds we used were actually made by real instruments. "I always wanted to write a dance song that wasn't a really full dance track, that felt organic*. Mika described the story behind the song in an interview with the Sun Newspaper February 2, 2007: If you feel brave you can try to sing your own cover of this song with this karaoke video: A modern song that brings back sounds from the 80's, nice and cool. ![]()
