Hi and good morning,
I'm Asa.
Before the busyness of your workday begins,
Take a moment to ground yourself,
Reconnect with your inner peace,
And set a clear intention for the day ahead.
Take a deep breath in and sigh it out.
Get comfortable in your seat and allow your body to relax a bit.
Close your eyes and take another deep,
Calming breath in and let it go slowly,
Releasing any lingering tension in your body,
Especially in your jaw,
Neck,
And shoulders.
Bring your awareness to your breath.
Notice its steady rhythm.
Next,
We'll practice a simple breathing exercise called Box Breathing,
Which is known for improving performance,
Sharpening concentration,
And reducing stress.
It involves breathing in for a count of four,
Pausing for a count of four,
Exhaling for a count of four,
And pausing again for a count of four.
We'll do four rounds total.
Wherever you're at,
Go ahead and exhale.
And then inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And hold,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And hold,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Hold,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
And hold,
Two,
Three,
Four.
One more round at your own pace.
And after your exhale,
Release the control over your breath and allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm.
Now let's take a moment to set an intention for your workday ahead.
Perhaps to bring more compassion into your work today.
Or maybe you want to set an intention to approach your day with clarity,
Inspired action,
Or clear communication.
Whatever your intention is,
See it as a bright light radiating from within you and guiding you throughout your day.
Now,
I invite you to picture yourself stepping into your workday with a sense of calm confidence,
Knowing that you're prepared to offer your best to everyone you meet and everything you do.
See your schedule flowing smoothly.
Every task,
Every meeting,
Every moment unfolding effortlessly.
Visualize yourself moving through your day with ease,
Purpose,
And success.
If you'd like,
I invite you to join me in repeating three empowering affirmations designed to cultivate focus,
Purpose,
And positive energy.
I am fully present,
Focused,
And prepared for the day ahead.
I am aligned with my purpose and I move through my day with ease and clarity.
I welcome positive energy,
Success,
And meaningful opportunities to make a difference.
Let these affirmations sink into your being,
Knowing that each one is a seed planted for a successful and fulfilling day.
Slowly bring your awareness back to the space around you.
And whenever you're ready,
You can sit back,
Take a stretch,
And gently blink open your eyes.
Take one more deep breath in,
Feeling grounded and ready.
And on your exhale,
Get out there.
Go help and inspire others and create that positive change in the world that we are all working towards together.
You got this.
