Savor | Mindful Motivation

As the year winds down, we practice stopping the clock to honor our experiences. Gently close your eyes. Bring your awareness to your breath—your steady companion throughout the year.

Now, gently bring to mind one small, positive memory from the past year. It doesn't have to be a major event. Maybe it was a moment of unexpected laughter, a delicious cup of coffee or tea, or the feeling of sunshine on your skin.

Focus on the sensory details of that moment.

Savor.

Let's begin our mindful moment embracing the theme of December,

A month of light.

Take a moment to settle in,

Finding stillness in your body.

Feel yourself arrive right here,

Right now.

Today we will focus on Savor,

The art of fully appreciating the journey of the past year before we let it go.

Take a collective breath in and a gentle breath out,

Allowing the last 11 months to simply rest in your awareness.

As the year winds down,

We practice stopping the clock to honor our experiences.

Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.

Bring your awareness to your breath,

Our steady companion throughout the year.

Now gently bring to mind one small positive memory from the past year.

It doesn't have to be a major event.

Maybe it was a moment of unexpected laughter,

A delicious cup of coffee or tea,

Or the feeling of sunshine on your skin.

Focus on the sensory moments and details.

Allow yourself to fully re-experience the goodness,

Savoring it like a piece of rich dark chocolate.

This act of appreciation is how we carry the light of the past year forward,

Rather than rushing through it.

As we hold this cherished moment together,

Here is a quiet reflection.

Which aspect of the past year will you pause to truly appreciate and close with peace and calm?

A.

One significant challenge you successfully overcame.

Or B.

Small repeated moments of everyday joy,

Like laughter or sunshine.

Choose the one that brings you the greatest warmth today and hold that intention gently.

Let's take one last deep breath in,

Gathering all the memories and light we have cultivated,

And a slow releasing breath out,

Embracing the present moment.

As you step forward,

Remember you are grounded,

You are appreciated,

And your journey is full of light.

Thank you so much for practicing mindful motivation together.

Have a beautiful day.
