Well, Cookie Monster doesn’t quite say that, but he comes close. In this Sesame Street video promoting self-control (which psychologists call “executive function” these days) he says:
When me lose control, when me have no doubt
Me have strategies, that can calm me down
Me can talk to self, me can stand up straight
Me can take deep breath, me can self-regulate!
And also:
When me lose control, when me on the brink,
Need to just calm down, me need to stop and think
Me need control me self, yeah that’s the way to live
And then me functioning, like an executive.
Check out Cookie Monster’s excellent message, which is as applicable to many adults as it is to children:
You can view the video on YouTube if you can’t see it above.

What is the best form of meditation for Combat PTSD. I find it very hard to close the mind (free the mind) from the combat trauma during meditation. Is their a sensory meditation.
