Take a moment to settle into a quiet,
Comfortable,
And safe place.
Thank you for taking a few minutes for yourself in the middle of your day.
This pause matters because our brains are not designed to run in constant output mode.
Our brains are actually designed to move between focus and recovery.
And this midday reset offers a brief pause that supports this recovery.
Settle into the space beneath you,
And if it feels comfortable,
Gently close your eyes or cast your gaze downward.
And bring your attention to your breath.
If it feels comfortable.
Place one hand over your heart and one hand over your stomach.
Just noticing the simple contact with your body.
And the rhythm of your breath beneath your hands.
We'll inhale,
Noticing as the air expands your lungs and chest,
And exhale,
Noticing as the air leaves your body.
We'll inhale,
Again,
Feeling the chest expand and exhale,
Noticing as the air leaves.
And as you stay with the breath,
You might ask yourself,
What am I feeling right now?
Notice if there's any tension,
Any tightness in your forehead or your jaw or your shoulders.
And as you notice your body,
You might also notice what emotions are here.
We'll also ask ourselves,
What do I need in this moment?
There's no need to answer it perfectly.
Just allow the questions to sit there and notice what comes up.
And as you breathe in and out,
You may notice a little more space here.
A little more clarity.
A little less reactivity.
A little more presence.
And as we close out our midday reset,
Take a deep breath in.
And a deep breath out.
Expanding your awareness to the room around you,
To what you can feel,
What you can hear,
And as you flutter your eyes open,
What you can see.
Thank you for joining me in this midday reset and taking a moment for yourself.
