As a new year is upon us,
As we bid farewell to the last,
You're optimistic about this change in the calendar.
A new year,
Another opportunity,
A fresh start.
Goals abound and records wipe clear.
It's a new year.
You can start over or begin.
As you find your breath,
Close your eyes,
Settle into your seat,
And allow your body to relax.
From the top of your head,
The tension in your jaw,
Down to releasing stress in your shoulders.
Let your back ease and your arms to rest.
Allow the big muscles in your legs to relax,
And breathe in through your nose and out of your mouth.
For now,
Only focus on your breath,
In and out.
When you're breathing,
If you are full of excitement,
Welcome in those thoughts.
Welcome in joy,
Peace,
Patience,
Self-control,
Kindness,
Goodness,
Faithfulness,
Gentleness.
Welcome in healing,
Good health,
Physical ability,
And mental stability.
Welcome in abundance,
In finances,
Love,
Support,
Admiration,
Humility,
And gratitude.
Welcome in opportunity,
Success,
Milestones,
Aspirations.
Now feel that excitement.
Where does it stand?
Are you still ready for the new year?
Another day,
Another chance?
If not,
Take another breath and welcome in what it is you need in this new year.
May this new year bring in everything you need.
