Ice Ice Baby: Stay Cool with TIP Skills this Holiday Season 🎶

The holiday season is here, and with all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to get swept away by emotions. But don’t worry—I’ve got a cool solution for you! 🎶

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, TIP Skills can help you regain control and calm down. These simple techniques are perfect for grounding yourself when emotions heat up.

Here’s a fun twist: I’ve rewritten the classic Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice, just for you, to make these skills even easier to remember. Let’s get into it!

🎤 TIP, TIP, baby!

🎤 TIP, TIP, baby!

Alright, stop! Let’s regulate and listen,

TIP Skills are back with a brand-new intention.

Anxiety, grabs a hold of you tightly,

Dunk like a cookie, daily and nightly.

Feel the chill, let the calm start to grow,

Get the ice bowl and yo, let's go!

TIP, TIP, baby!

Regulate emotions, don’t go crazy.

TIP, TIP, baby!

Chill it out, now you’re feelin’ steady.

T—Temperature's your first tool to know,

Ice packs or a splash help slow the show.

I—Intense exercise, move that stress,

Jump, jog, or push it, give your best.

P—Paced breathing’s where you wanna be,

Slow it down, count it out, 1-2-3.

P—Pair it up with muscle relaxation,

Tense, release, feel the sensation!

You’re back in control, heart rate’s low,

TIP is the skill that helps you flow.

TIP, TIP, baby!

Chill it out, now you’re feelin’ steady.

Take a break and find your zone,

These skills help when you’re on your own.

So when emotions rise and it’s hard to think,

TIP is the answer—it’s the missing link!
