Hi, I'm Toni. Welcome to your heavy heart reset. To help you get through the day. I created this to give you a sense of comfort when your heart is feeling heavy. You are going through something or you may have been triggered by something. Whatever the reason. I'm so glad that you joined me for this quick reset. Together we can help soften the load. If your chest is feeling full with anxiety or worry. You don't need to wait for the day to end to find relief. Let's pause exactly where you are. If you can. Just for this quick reset. Take a seat. And if it's safe to do so, Let your eyes close or soften your gaze. Right now, Drop your shoulders away from your ears. Loosen your jaw. Let your hands feel completely light in your lap. Or by your sides. You can place one or both hands over your heart for emotional support and self-care. Take a deep breath through your nose expanding your ribcage and let it out through your mouth with a long slow sigh. Let it all out. Let's do that again. Breathe in. And sigh it out through the mouth. Know that you don't have to fix or remedy this feeling to get through the rest of your day. For the next few minutes, The pressure is off. Bring your awareness to your chest. When our heart or chest area feels like this, We naturally tighten this area to protect ourselves. And we move into a more fight or flight nervous system. Let's soften that armour. If it feels supportive, Give yourself a hug. Feeling the warmth of your arms. You can do this by simply moving each palm to the opposite shoulder. As you breathe in, Imagine sending the breath around the heaviness. You aren't trying to push the feeling away or force it to change. You are simply making more space for it. Inhaling to create space, Exhaling to let the shoulders drop a little lower. You are strong enough to hold this feeling. It is a heavy moment. But it does not define your whole day. Feel your feet on the floor or your back body on your seat. Notice the solid ground beneath you. Completely steady and unmoving. This heavy feeling is like a dense fog or a sudden rainstorm passing through. It feels solid right now. But the weather always moves. You are the sky. And this is just the current weather. Allow the earth to take the excess weight. You don't have to carry it all by yourself. You are anchored. You are safe. Before we step back into your day. Let's take three final spacious breaths together. Deep breath one. Inhale space. Exhale tension. Breath two. Inhale strengthen. Exhale the knee to be perfect. Breath three. Inhale peace. Exhale completely. Gently bring a little movement back to your fingers and toes. Roll your shoulders back. And when you are ready. Allow your eyes to gently open. As you move back into your day. Remember that whenever you are conscious of it try to lengthen your exhale. It's a quick powerful way to regulate your nervous system. You don't have to magically feel light or happy to move forward from here. You just need to take the very next step. Carrying yourself with kindness. Go gently. You are doing completely fine.
