Expand.
Open your capacity.
Let's begin our mindful moment for this week.
Take a moment to settle in.
Feel yourself arrive right here,
Right now.
Take a collective slow breath in.
And a gentle breath out together.
Our mindful motivation today is expand.
The simple act of creating more space within yourself.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Feel your breath moving naturally.
It is your anchor.
Now let's use a simple visualization.
With each inhale.
Imagine your chest and shoulders widening,
Making room for new possibilities.
Breathe into the feeling of openness.
And as you exhale.
Breathe out any tension or worry or anxiety holding you back.
This focus and intention is a resource you can return to anytime you feel restricted in time or space.
To just be.
To be enough just as you are and more.
As you hold this quiet expand,
Here is a reflection.
Choose an option that feels most relevant to your week ahead.
This week,
Where will you intentionally apply EXPAND?
A.
In a sensory moment,
Like reaching your arms wide overhead to stretch and feel the sky above you.
Or B,
In an emotional moment like welcoming a new perspective or idea instead of closing off.
Hold your chosen intention gently.
Take a deep breath in.
Gathering the focus we have cultivated and the slow releasing breath out.
Ready to carry this into the rest of your day.
And as you step forward,
Remember,
You are strong and you are expanding in your own way.
Gentle and kind to your heart,
Mind,
Body,
And soul.
Thank you for practicing mindful motivation together.
I wish you smiles and joy.
Take care and have a beautiful day.
