With each exhale, Allow your muscles to soften, Your shoulders to drop, Your body to feel a little more at ease. For this brief time, Let everything else fade into the background. The future is not needed right now. This moment is enough. Simply breathe. Unwind and settle into stillness. Let your breath return to a calm, Effortless flow. No need to control it. Just observe it as it is. Now, Softly repeat these words either silently within or gently out loud. I am safe in this moment. I feel calm and steady. I am here, Fully present.
