Lighten the load.
Let's begin our mindful moment.
Take a few seconds to set it 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 play.
The simple act of exploring without pressure.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Feel your breath moving naturally.
It is your anchor.
Now,
Let's engage our senses.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes gently.
Notice how lightweight your body can feel when we stop trying so hard.
Feel the contact of your body on the chair,
Completely supported.
Listen to the distant sounds around you with curiosity,
Like a child hearing them for the first time.
Breathe into the feeling of warmth.
You do not have to perform right now.
As you hold this quiet,
Playful space,
Here is a reflection.
Choose an option that feels most relevant to your week ahead.
This week,
Where will you intentionally apply clay?
In a sensory moment,
Like coloring,
Doodling,
Or feeling the texture of a smooth stone on your desk.
Or B,
An emotional moment like letting a mistake be a silly human moment instead of a problem.
Hold your chosen intention gently.
Let's take a deep breath in.
Gathering the focus we have cultivated,
And a slow releasing breath out,
Ready to carry this into the rest of our day.
And as you step forward,
Remember.
You are calm and you are play.
Wishing you smiles and joy.
Take care.
