April 15th is tax day. It is also Rubber Eraser day. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this day, than to share with you a great visualization technique that will erase your worries away. You can practice this technique a few times on your own and then once you feel comfortable you can share it with your family.
Visualization Technique
While lying in bed or sitting in a quite place take three deep breaths. Then close your eyes and visualize what is stressing you out. Focus on these things. Next imagine erasing your worries away (with a rubber eraser;)). Go back and forth over the images until they disappear and all you have left is a blank sheet of paper. Now in your mind, take your blank sheet of paper and draw something on it that makes you happy.
If your children are too young to comprehend the visualization technique, have no fear. You can celebrate Rubber Eraser Day by creating a toy car out of erasers.

Things You’ll Need:
Erasers, various kinds
Thumbtacks
Glue
Knife
Markers
Instructions:
1. Gather a bunch of rectangle shaped erasers. Leave some long and cut some with a knife to give you various-sized rectangle pieces.
2. Take one of the whole erasers and stick a halved eraser on top, to make the cab of a truck or car. Glue the top to the bottom.
3. Use pencil-cap erasers or those tiny pre-made animal-shaped erasers as cargo for the back of the trucks.
4. Color the car erasers with designs and shapes, or make car doors and windows.
5. Color the tops of the thumbtacks and then stick them into the sides of the erasers as wheels for the cars and trucks.
