Transcript

Good morning beautiful human,

My name is Darius and this is 5 minutes of me sharing loving,

Supportive words from my heart to your ears to start your day.

Let's begin nice and slow and let's take a deep breath together,

Breathing in and letting go.

Today is a fresh new canvas,

A new opportunity for you to create something meaningful,

Something beautiful,

Something honest with your life.

Today is going to be a great day,

There's nothing you need to do,

There's nothing you need to say.

Today is a gift,

It's a blessing,

Not everyone gets today but you and I do.

Today we're going to go slow,

Take deep breaths and open our awareness to the blessings,

To the gifts,

The gratitude that surrounds our lives.

Today we will notice the small blessings,

The simple things that exist all around us that make our lives a little bit easier.

Today we choose to walk into every room as ourselves.

Today we have an open heart,

We have feet that are grounded into the earth,

We have eyes that can see visions of possibilities.

Today we will take small steps consistently towards our dreams.

Today we choose to bring compassion and love to ourselves.

Today is a fresh canvas dear artist,

What will you create?

Thank you again, Darius, for an poignant message. I really appreciate that this one is more of a brief "pep-talk" that can be used on a break from the day. Please create more if you have capacity.
