Allowing the eyes to close if you haven't yet already, Or soften the gaze. And if your mind is already thinking about everything you need to do today, That's completely okay. You don't need to push the thoughts away, Acknowledge them, And then gently bring your awareness to my words. Let's do four, Seven, Eight breaths. Breathing in two, Three, Four. Hold two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. In two, Three, Four. Hold two, Three, Four, Six, Seven, And eight. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, And eight. Breath returning to its natural rhythm. And you might gently like to say, I can handle whatever comes my way. My heart is open and my mind is peaceful. Tomorrow is not here yet. I am here, Right now. And as you move through the rest of your day, Remember one task at a time, One breath at a time. And you can come back to this idea of one step at a time any time during the day when you feel overwhelmed. This is a new day and today you can begin again.
