Welcome.

If you've just come out of a challenging conversation,

Let's take a few minutes to release any lingering emotions and return to a place of calm.

Gently close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in through your nose,

Filling your chest and belly with air.

Hold it for a moment,

And then exhale slowly through your mouth,

Letting go of any tension that may have built up during the conversation.

Let your breath settle into a natural,

Easy rhythm.

With each inhale,

Imagine yourself breathing in calm.

With each exhale,

Release any tightness or stress from your body.

Now bring your awareness to any areas where you might still be holding tension—your shoulders,

Your chest,

Or your jaw.

Breathe deeply into those spaces,

And as you exhale,

Imagine the tension melting away.

Allow your body to fully relax.

You've done your best and it's okay if the conversation didn't go perfectly.

With each breath,

Give yourself permission to let go of any pressure to have said or done everything just right.

You are allowed to be human.

Reflect for a moment on the conversation itself.

Did it bring up any emotions or thoughts that are still lingering?

It's natural to feel unsettled after a difficult exchange,

But know that whatever happened,

You did the best you could in that moment.

Allow yourself to release any judgments or second-guessing.

There's no need to replay the conversation or wish you'd done it differently.

Breathe deeply and let go of any lingering tension,

Knowing that what's done is done,

And you can move forward with kindness for yourself.

As you continue to breathe,

Let go of the conversation itself.

Imagine placing it down,

Knowing you don't have to carry it with you anymore.

With each exhale,

Release any lingering emotions or thoughts,

Trusting that you can move forward with a sense of peace.

Take a final deep breath in,

And as you exhale,

Let go completely.

When you're ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Carry this calm and release with you as you step forward,

Knowing that you can always return to this place of stillness.
