If you're listening to this,

You've taken a beautiful first step.

You've chosen to log off and log in to yourself.

Wherever you are,

Find a comfortable position,

Either sitting or lying down,

And when you're ready,

Gently allow your eyes to close.

Begin by taking one deep cleansing breath in through your nose,

And as you exhale through your mouth,

Let it go with a sigh.

Release the scroll,

The refresh,

The noise.

Let it all out.

Now bring your awareness away from the screen of your phone and into your body.

Feel the physical space you are in.

Notice the weight of your body.

Feel your feet on the floor.

Become aware of the air temperature on your skin.

You are here,

In this body,

In this room,

Not in a digital feed.

I want you to imagine your mind has been like a browser with too many tabs open.

Each tab is a notification,

A comment,

A comparison,

A piece of information you didn't need.

One by one,

I want you to gently close those tabs.

With each exhale,

Close one.

Exhale,

Closing the tab of endless news.

Exhale,

Close the tab of other people's highlights.

Exhale,

Close the tab of comparison.

Keep closing them until your mental browser is clear,

With just one blank,

Peaceful page remaining.

In this new,

Quiet space,

Bring your attention to a simple,

Real sensation.

It could be the feeling of your hands resting in your lap,

The weight of your sweater on your shoulders,

The sound of your breath.

Anchor yourself here in this simple,

Real,

Uncurated moment.

This is your life,

Not a performance,

Not an algorithm,

Just you.

Now place a hand gently over your heart.

Feel a steady rhythm beating within your chest,

A gentle reminder that you are here,

You are alive,

And you are enough,

Exactly as you are,

Without any filters.

Take one more deep,

Nourishing breath in with this sense of calm and clarity,

And as you exhale,

Release any last bits of digital static.

Slowly,

Gently,

Bring movement back into your body,

And when you feel ready,

You can open your eyes.
