Before The Week Begins - A Deeper Monday Practice

The list starts forming before you are even out of bed. This practice is for that exact moment: when your body arrives on Monday before you do. It slows the first hour down until the week can only ask one thing at a time, and closes with a softly sung reminder to carry with you. Your pace is allowed to be yours.

Before the week. Starts talking. Previousness hour. It belongs to you. Maybe the list is already forming. The messages, The meetings. The things you said you would handle. The body is responding like all of it is happening now. The shoulders climbing, The breath going high. If that is happening, It does not mean the week is too much. It may simply mean your body arrived at Monday. Before you did. So let the body catch up to this hour. Feel the chair beneath you, Your feet meeting the floor. The jaw. Softening. Nothing here is asking you to rush. Now, Repeat quietly inside. I do not need to arrive at Monday. All at once. I can meet this week One hour at a time My pace is allowed to be mine Nothing in this morning. Is asking me. To run. The weak will ask what it asks. But it will ask one thing at a time. And you will answer. One thing at a time. That is enough. Take one more breath here. And carry this pace. Into the first hour. I can meet this week One hour at a time My pace is allowed to be mine The week begins. When I do.
