Hi, Darlene. Welcome in. If you are listening to this on a Sunday evening. There's a good chance your mind is already trying to move ahead. Thinking about Monday. Week ahead. The things that need your attention. Responsibilities waiting for you. And if that's where you are tonight. . . I want you to know something. You do not have to carry tomorrow. Tonight. So for the next. . . Few minutes. There is nowhere else you need to be. So find a comfortable position. Maybe you're curled up in bed. Resting on the couch or simply settling into a quiet space of your own. Allow your body to relax. Allow yourself to arrive. Gently close your eyes if that feels comfortable. Take a slow breath in through your nose and a long breath out. Just settling into your space Again, Breathing in… Breathing out. Notice how your body is being held. Allow your jaw to soften Relax muscles around your eyes. And let your shoulders drop away from your ears And with every exhale, Imagine yourself. Setting something down Not forever. For tonight. Let them rest Breathing in calm. Breathing out tension. Before we go any further. Simply notice where your mind is No judgment. No fixing. Just notice. Perhaps. Their thoughts about tomorrow. Or maybe it's simply that familiar feeling of uncertainty. . . That often arrives on Sunday evenings. By feeling that somehow you should already know how the week is going to unfold. But life has never asked us to know everything ahead of time. And simply ask us to take the next step. When it arrives. Take a breath Allow yourself to release the need to know. Breathing in. Breathing out. Notice how your body responds when you stop trying to hold everything at once Notice the space that begins to open. Now imagine a warm gentle light above you It's a light that carries peace. Reassurance and with every inhale that light slowly moves through your body beginning at the crown of your head. Relaxing your forehead. Softening the space between your eyebrows. Relaxing your eye and your cheeks. Down into your jaw. And into the shoulders. Allowing tension to melt away. The light continues down your arms. Into your hands. Into the fingertips. Flowing into the chest. Heart. Once. Your upper back. Soft and easy. Opening. Creating space as that warm light settles around your heart silently repeat. I do not have to carry tomorrow tonight. Again. I do not have to carry tomorrow. Tonight. One more time. I do not have to carry tomorrow tonight. Allow those words to settle into every part of you. Like a soft blanket. Or a gentle reminder. Morgan Harper Nichols writes Pursuing peace is the ability to find rest within the present moment. Even when you do not know. What is going to happen next? Take a deep breath in. And as you do, Let those words land. Peace is not found when everything becomes predictable. Peace is not waiting on the other side of certainty. He's my darling. Is available right here. Right now. In this breath in this moment. Even when questions remain unanswered. Even when plans are unfinished. Even when life feels uncertain. You can still rest can still soften. You can still trust. I ask you to place one hand on your heart. And think of one thing. That is supporting you right now. Maybe it's someone you love. Your family, Your faith. Nature. Maybe it's simply your willingness to show up for yourself tonight. Whatever comes to mind, Allow yourself to feel gratitude for it. Not because life is perfect. But because support still exists. Even in imperfect seasons. Take a slow breath in the slow breath out and imagine your weak head. Not the details, Not the schedule. Just a week itself. And see its path gently unfolding in front of you. And instead of rushing ahead. . . Imagine yourself walking the path. One step. At a time. One breath at a time, One day at a time. You do not need to carry seven days all at once. You only need this moment. And then the next. And somehow. That has always been. You've made it through difficult weeks before. You've navigated uncertainty. And you are here. Still standing. Still breathing. Still becoming. And maybe that's enough. For tonight. The future can wait until tomorrow. Tonight. Let yourself simply be. The sun has done its work. The day is complete. And just as the sky slowly releases itself into night YouTube. Can let go.
