Begin by. . . Coming into a comfortable position. You can sit, Stand or lie down. Whatever your body needs right now. If you feel safe, Allow your eyes to close. As you think about starting something new, Or this change in your life. Perhaps there is a little nervousness within you. Maybe you are wondering how it will go. Whether you will do it well. Or weather you will know. What to do once you are there. You You don't have to make those feelings disappear. Just give yourself a moment to arrive. Gently remind yourself. You don't have to know exactly how this will go. You only have to meet what comes. One moment at a time. After all, You have never done this before. So of course. You don't exactly know what it will feel like. You And being nervous doesn't mean you are not ready. Sometimes it simply means Something matters to you. Take a slow breath in. And slowly breathe out. And Parha. Let go of the idea. That you need to do everything perfectly. You can ask questions. You can take your time. You You can make mistakes. You can learn as you go. Thanks for watching! You don't have to arrive knowing everything. Now perhaps ask yourself What would I do? If I trusted myself. To figure things out. As I go. Maybe you would breathe a little deeper. Maybe you would take the first step. Maybe you would stay curious. Or maybe. . . You would let your son be a beginner. Whatever your answer. Let it remind you. That readiness. It doesn't always feel like confidence. Sometimes readiness simply looks like Being willing to begin. So if it feels comfortable I have. Allow your hands. To rest on your heart. Place a hand on your heart. And just let these words sink in. I don't have to feel completely ready. To begin. I can be nervous. And still take the next step. I can learn as I go. Take one more slow breath in. And gently breathe out. Letting your hands rest. Wherever they were before. You don't have to see the whole path. Before you start walking. You only need enough courage. Or the neck. So, Let yourself begin. Not perfectly or without feeling nervous. But simply as you are. Because Courage is in the absence of nerves. Of feeling anxious. Or scale. Courage is simply saying. I feel this. And I'm going anyway. You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to feel completely confident. You don't even have to know whether this will become something wonderful. You only have to be open enough to find out. Take a deep breath. And begin. Your future self would thank you. It is so very proud of you. If your eyes were closed, You can gently open them.
