It's a good chance you spent the day giving.
Giving your time.
Your attention.
You care.
Your creativity.
And your energy.
Every conversation.
Every decision.
Every problem you've had to solve has required a little piece of you.
And that's part of being human.
But very few of us ever remember to call our energy back.
Over the next few minutes,
We're not creating more energy.
We're simply gathering back what has already belonged to you.
All of that.
Go ahead and begin by taking a nice slow breath.
Deep breath in.
And gently letting it go.
Allow your shoulders to soften.
Invite your jaw to relax.
Let yourself fully arrive in this moment.
Nothing is asking anything.
Taking another intentional,
Slow,
Deep breath.
With the exhale,
Imagine the busyness of the day becoming just a little quieter.
Not disappearing,
But simply moving into the background.
Now imagine yourself standing in a peaceful,
Open field as the sun begins to set.
And around you,
You notice these delicate strands of light stretching out in every direction.
One reaches towards your workplace.
Another towards a conversation that's still replaying in your mind.
One is wrapped around someone you love.
Another reaches into tomorrow.
The planning,
The preparing,
The anticipating.
Some strands are connected to responsibilities.
Others to expectations.
Some to people you've been trying to help.
Simply notice them.
No judgment.
This is where your beautiful heart has been investing its energy.
Now place one hand over your heart and take a slow breath in and silently say.
I call back my energy.
And as you exhale,
Watch one strand gently release.
Flowing back into your heart as warm,
Golden light.
And again.
I call back my energy.
Watching another strand return.
Bringing back your attention.
To your creativity.
To your peace.
Your presence.
Breath.
By breath.
More light begins returning.
Nothing is taken from anything else.
Or anyone else.
You're simply reclaiming what has always belonged to you.
And notice how the light within your heart becomes brighter.
Warmer.
Dead here.
Feel it expanding through your chest.
Through your shoulders,
Your arms,
Filling your entire body.
This warm glowing beautiful energy.
And you might even be feeling some tingling sensations.
And just remember your energy has never been gone.
It was just simply there waiting for you to call it home.
Go ahead and silently repeat.
I call my energy back.
I choose presence over pressure.
I am whole.
I am here.
I am enough.
And just take note of how your body is feeling and resonating with these words.
Notice if your shoulders are naturally softening.
In your mind feels quieter.
The smallest shifts matter.
And as you move through the rest of your day,
Notice where your energy begins to drift.
And whenever you need to,
Pause.
Simply place your hand over your heart.
And whisper.
I call back my energy.
Your body will now remember what to do.
Bringing your awareness back to your breath.
Go ahead and take a final deep breath in.
Noticing what feels different.
Noticing the subtle shifts.
And go ahead and exhale that breath.
And remember that you're not becoming someone new.
You're simply returning to who you've always been.
And when you feel completely ready.
You can start to invite in some gentle movements.
Maybe wiggling your fingers and your toes.
Moving your head from side to side.
Getting a nice big shrug of the shoulders.
When you feel fully ready,
Go ahead and open your eyes.
And carry this beautiful energy.
Carry your energy.
With you.
