Find a comfortable seat.
Feel grounded,
Resting your hands on your lap or belly.
Close your eyes if that feels safe.
Take a deep breath in,
Pause,
And exhale fully.
One more time,
Slow,
Deep,
And intentional breath in,
Pause,
And full exhale.
Now visualize your future self,
The version of you who is calm,
Grounded,
And regulated.
Notice how they respond to their children with patience and presence.
See the ease in their posture and the steadiness in their voice.
Imagine yourself stepping into that version of you.
Feel your shoulders soften,
Your jaw release,
Your breath deepen.
Sense the calm energy filling your body from your chest to your belly and down through your legs.
Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly.
Repeat silently,
I can return to this calm.
I am capable.
I am enough.
Let that energy settle into your nervous system as a template that you can revisit anytime.
Each time you step into your future self,
Your nervous system learns that calm,
Steady state is possible.
And you build lasting capacity one moment at a time.
Take a deep breath in,
And exhale fully.
Feel your feet firmly grounded,
Carrying this calm into the present moment.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes gently,
Bringing this sense of regulation and capacity back with you.
Thank you for your practice.
You
