Begin by finding a comfortable seated position,

Sitting up yet relaxed,

Gently close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Hold it for a moment and exhale slowly through your mouth.

Breathing in deeply,

Feeling the fresh energy entering your body and exhale.

Again,

Breathing in,

Feeling that fresh energy flowing throughout your body and exhale.

Again,

Breathing in and feeling that fresh energy flowing throughout your body and exhale.

Now,

Allow your breath to settle into a natural,

Easy rhythm.

Observing your inhale and your exhale,

Let your breath guide you into stillness.

As you breathe,

Gently bring your attention to your body,

Noticing all the sensations,

The gentle touch of air on your skin,

The way your body makes contact with the surface beneath you.

Feel yourself grounded and supported in this moment.

Slowly bring your awareness to this new day,

A fresh beginning,

A new opportunity.

Whatever happened in the past is now all behind you.

You are fully here,

Grounded in the present moment and ready to start a new beginning.

Now,

Repeat the following.

I choose peace.

I choose presence.

I choose to move with purpose and ease.

Feel these words resonate in your heart.

Breathing in calm,

Breathing out any stress or tension.

Allow a sense of gratitude rise within you.

Gratitude for this moment,

This breath,

This new chance to grow,

To love,

To learn.

Now,

Gently set an intention for your day.

It can be one word or a simple phrase.

Patience,

Courage,

Joy,

Focus.

Let it come naturally.

Whatever you feel you need most today,

Breathe that intention in.

Let it fill you.

Carry it with you into the rest of your day.

Slowly begin to bring movement back to your body.

Wiggle your fingers and toes.

Gently roll your shoulders.

Take one last deep breath in and exhale into your day.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes.
