Close your eyes.
And.
.
.
Take a deep breath in and out.
And another one just slowly breathe in for one two,
Three,
And hold,
Three,
Change.
One,
And exhale.
One.
Two,
Three,
And hold at the bottom a little bit,
Two,
One.
Another deep and slow breath for four seconds this time.
1,
2,
3,
4 and hold for 4.
3,
2,
1 and exhale slowly 4,
3,
2,
1 hold it there few seconds two,
One,
And a final deep breath in and out without count.
Going back to your normal breathing after this exhale.
Like to invite you to.
Focus on.
One thing.
You are grateful for today.
One thing.
No matter how small or big it might be.
You one thing that you are grateful for that you are able to do,
You are able to see.
Somewhere you're able to be,
Perhaps.
Sometimes it's just about remembering how grateful we are to be able to breathe on this day,
To see whatever surrounds us on this day,
To be able to move,
Walk,
Run or exercise.
Or to just be able to sit down and pause.
One thing that might have opened an opportunity or maybe it was someone's mind and got you in this tweet.
Maybe it's just being grateful to have the opportunity to be that one,
To be the one that smiles to others in the street.
Perhaps it's just being grateful for the people we have in our lives.
Being grateful for the friend who we call when everything gets overwhelming.
Perhaps this person close to us that we actually don't even need to speak to and with just one look can come over and give you a big hug.
Perhaps it's just being grateful that.
.
.
You can be this person that gives yourself a big hug.
Can squeeze your shoulders if this feels giving and be present with yourself as you showed up and you carved this time to focus on the little positives hidden behind the overwhelming challenges of your day.
Take a deep breath in and out here.
Stay there a moment with yourself.
If the hug doesn't feel giving,
Feel free to put your hands over your hearts.
Just hold yourself there for a moment.
Be grateful to even get a chance to have this time.
It's time to reflect.
It's time to recenter.
It's time to be a little more loving towards ourselves.
Because we're so worth it.
Amazing self that we carry with us all day long,
This amazing self that has to face so many things deserve this moment.
Calm in the chaos.
Deserves to be nourished as gratitude flows.
Through your body right now.
I will leave you.
Until our next practice together with love and resilience
