Sit,
Feet flat,
Eyes closed,
Breathing through your nose,
Long breath out,
Again,
Slower.
Feel your feet on the floor,
Feel your hands,
You're here,
The day hasn't started yet,
Now's the time to check in with yourself,
Not to think about the day ahead,
But to find your centre,
How are you actually arriving into this day,
What's already running in the background,
Just name it quietly,
Don't fix it,
Just acknowledge it's there,
Most people let the day set the tone for them,
The first notification,
The first demand and they're already reactive,
But tone is a choice,
Made before the noise starts,
How do you want to move through today,
Not what you want to achieve,
How you want to be,
Pick one word,
One quality you want to bring into today,
Steady,
Patient,
Focused,
Present,
Whatever it is,
Hold it,
Breathe it in and let it settle,
Breath out,
That's your tone,
Carry it,
When you're ready,
Open your eyes,
The day can have your time,
But you just decided how it gets your energy,
Go.
