Transcript

Let's do a quick exercise together to get you out of your head and back into your body.

You're gonna do this standing up wherever you are.

I want you to bring all of your awareness right now to your feet on the ground.

Sway your body a little bit side to side and notice how those pressure points change.

Notice how your weight shifting feels on your feet.

And when your mind wanders off,

That's perfectly normal.

Just bring it right back to your feet.

And now you can forget about your feet and notice your breath.

Notice your breath on your nose as you inhale and as you exhale.

See if you can notice the temperature of that breath.

And when your mind wanders off,

Bring it right back.

And now shift that awareness from your nose to your belly.

Notice the rise and fall of your belly as you breathe.

Notice it again.

And now forget about your breathing if you can,

And notice the sounds around you.

Search for the furthest sound that you can hear.

And now search for the closest sound.

Notice how your breath shifts as you inhale and as you exhale.

And now search for the closest sound that you can hear.

And now notice the sound of your breath.

Coming back to the breath now,

We're going to take one deep belly breath in,

Bringing in as much oxygen as you can into the bottom of your belly.

Pausing for a moment of gratitude to yourself for showing up here,

For taking this time out,

Letting that breath go,

And returning to your day.
