Take a moment to sit.
To rest,
To close your eyes before you begin your day.
I know it can be easy to get ahead of yourself before the day even begins,
Like the to-do list,
The fears,
The anxiety,
And all the a million things that you're gonna have to accomplish today.
But before any of that,
Let's just take a moment to rest.
Begin by taking a breath in through your nose.
And exhale slowly through your mouth as though you're pushing out all the worries and anxieties of today.
Instead of worrying about the world around you,
Let's check in with how you're doing.
What are you feeling this morning?
What do you need today to just make it a bit easier for you today to be able to move through your day with ease,
With peace,
With happiness,
And connection to yourself?
I think sometimes maybe it's human nature,
But we get caught up in the idea that we have to be going,
That we have to be going through our day with stress and anxiety and so much of a workload on us and carrying everything,
But truly that isn't true.
You can go through your day with peace and feeling connected to yourself and ready to take on anything,
But still not bringing in all that anxiety into your inner world.
So as you go about today,
Maybe instead of letting the stress come into you and breathing in all that stress and taking it upon yourself,
We can simply just be observers of the stress.
We don't have to let ourselves become the stress in the world and take it all in on our shoulders and allow it to take up space in our body.
Instead,
We can simply breathe,
Connect with ourselves,
And remind ourselves that we can handle the situation.
We can handle any situation without letting the stress take us.
And sometimes that can be very hard.
I'm sure we all know that from experience.
But next time today when you experience something stressful,
Take a few moments to breathe.
You breathe in through your nose,
Out through your mouth and remind yourselves that we're simply just observing this world.
Thank you so much for listening.
I know this is a different style of meditation than I typically do,
But I thought I would do something a bit more casual today.
Take one more deep breath in.
And slowly exhale it out.
Remember that you don't have to become the stress in your day.
You can simply observe and handle it without letting it become of you.
Thank you for listening and I hope you have a beautiful rest of your morning.
