If anxiety is feeling loud right now,
You do not have to fight it.
You do not have to fix everything in this moment.
Just be here with this breath.
Let your shoulders soften,
Unclench your jaw,
Relax your hands.
Take a slow breath in through your nose and sigh it out,
Ahhh,
Again.
Inhale gently and exhale slowly,
One more time,
Breathing in and breathing out.
Now,
Just notice this moment.
Notice the surface beneath you.
Notice the temperature in the air.
Notice that right now,
You are here.
Anxiety likes to rush ahead,
But your body can come back now,
Not all at once,
Just one breath at a time.
Breathe in for 4,

Exhale for 6,

Again,
Inhale for 4,
2,
3,
4,
Exhale for 6,
2,
3,
4,
5,
6.
Say quietly to yourself,
I am safe in this moment.
I can slow down,
I do not need to solve everything right now.
This feeling will pass.
Take one more slow breath in and let it go gently.
You are allowed to soften,
You are allowed to pause,
You are allowed to begin again.
This is your soft reset.
