Hi, My name is Laura Patrick. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, And today's meditation is called A Fresh Start. Good morning. Before the day becomes busy. Take a few minutes for yourself. Find a comfortable position. And let your shoulders relax. Take a slow breath in. And slowly breathe out. Whatever happened yesterday is already behind you. Whatever needs to happen later today can wait for a few minutes. Right now, You are simply beginning a new day. Take another breath in. And breathe out. Notice how your body feels this morning. Maybe you feel rested. Maybe you feel tired. Maybe your mind is already busy. You don't need to judge any of it. Simply notice where you are today. Quietly remind yourself. I don't have to do this entire day at once. I only need to meet one moment at a time. Think about the day ahead. Instead of focusing on everything you need to accomplish, Choose how you would like to move through your day. Maybe you want to move through today with patience. Column. Confidence, Kindness, Or simply steadiness. Choose one word for yourself today. Hold that word gently in your mind. Take a slow breath in and imagine breathing that quality into your day. And breathe out anything you don't need to carry with you. You don't need today to be perfect. You don't need yourself to be perfect. There may be things you can't control today. There may be unexpected moments. And you can meet them when they arrive. Right now, This morning is enough. Take another slow breath in. And breathe out. Quietly remind yourself, I can begin again today. I can take things one step at a time. I can pause when I need to. I can return to my breath when things become busy. Take a few quiet moments before beginning your day. Now take one final deep breath in. And slowly let it go. Move your fingers. Move your toes. Gently stretch if that feels good. And when you're ready, Open your eyes. Your day doesn't have to be perfect. Just begin with the next moment.
