Root,
Mindful motivation,
Let's begin.
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 root,
The simple act of finding stability right where you are.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze,
Feel your breath moving naturally,
It is our anchor.
Now let's engage our senses,
Feel the weight of your feet on the floor,
Imagine roots traveling from the soul deep into the earth.
Notice any sounds far away,
Then notice any sounds close by.
You are a steady tree and the wind of your to-do list can blow but it cannot move you.
You are grounded,
Breathe into the feeling of stillness.
This focus is a resource you can return to anytime you feel scattered or anxious.
As you hold this quiet root,
Here is a reflection,
Choose the option that feels most relevant for your day and week ahead.
This week,
Where will you intentionally apply root?
A.
In a sensory moment like pressing your palm flat against your desk to land,
To stay grounded or B.
In an emotional moment like saying I need a moment to think during a meeting.
Hold your chosen intention gently.
Let's take one final deep breath in,
Gathering the focus and rootedness we have cultivated and a slow releasing breath out,
Ready to carry this into the rest of your day.
And as you step forward,
Remember you are calm and you are root.
Wishing you smiles and joy.
Take care.
