Yes,

I can tell you life is short.

I've lived over seven decades,

Seen my share of ups and downs,

Moments of joy and heartbreak.

But if there's one thing I know for sure,

It's this.

There are far more positives in this world than negatives.

We often focus on what's wrong,

What's missing.

But if we pause,

Even for a moment,

We can see the simple gifts life offers a quiet sunrise,

A kind smile,

The feeling of fresh air in our lungs.

So close your eyes and let's take this time to breathe and embrace the positives.

Take a deep breath through your nose and exhale through your mouth.

Take another deep breath and slowly release.

Feel your body soften.

Let your shoulders relax.

Your breath is steady,

Anchoring you in this moment.

Now picture a peaceful place,

A quiet forest,

An open field or a gentle lake where the water shimmers in the light.

Feel the warmth of the sun on your face.

Hear the soft sounds around you.

Let this moment remind you that even in life's challenges,

There is always something good to hold on to.

Breathe in the positives.

And exhale any negativity.

Breathe in peace.

And breathe out anything that no longer serves you.

Life is short,

But this moment is yours.

And that is enough.

Take one last deep breath in.

And exhale.

When you're ready,

Slowly open your eyes.

May you carry this sense of calm with you,

Knowing that the positives in life will always shine brighter than the negatives.

Life is short,

Yes,

But in this moment,

Right now,

You are here.

And that is enough.

Thank you.
