Allowing the eyes to close if you haven't yet already, Or soften the gaze. Take a slow breath in. A slow breath out. And again, Slow breath in. And if your mind is already thinking about everything you need to do today, That's completely okay. Minds plan, And they think, And they make lists. 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, And eight. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. In, Two, Three, Four, Hold, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, And eight. Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, And eight. Breath returning to its natural rhythm. What is one thing I can do today? Just one thing. Not every step. Just one step. And reminding yourself you don't have to do everything today. You don't have to solve everything today. You definitely don't have to do everything perfectly. 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 anytime during the day when you feel overwhelmed. This is a new day. And today you can begin again.
