Soften.

Let's begin our mindful moment for February.

Take a moment to settle in right here,

Right now.

Allow yourself to arrive completely in this space.

Take a collective breath in and a gentle breath out together.

Our mindful motivation today is soften.

The simple act of releasing mental and physical rigidity.

Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.

Feel your breath moving naturally.

It is your anchor.

Now let's engage our senses.

Bring your awareness to your jaw,

Your shoulders and your hands.

As you breathe out,

Imagine these areas turning from ice to water.

Feel the tension physically dissolve into a state of fluid readiness.

This focus is a resource you can return to anytime you feel overwhelmed or stuck in a task.

As you hold this quiet soften,

Here is a reflection.

Choose the option that feels most relevant to your week ahead.

This week,

Where will you intentionally apply soften?

A.

In a sensory moment like letting your muscles relax while sitting in traffic or B.

In an emotional moment like meeting a difficult conversation with a gentle heart.

Hold your chosen intention gently.

Let's take a deep breath in.

Gathering the focus we have cultivated and a slow releasing breath out.

Let's practice a butterfly hug together for our collective well-being across time and space.

Cross your arms to form the wings of a butterfly and tap your shoulders in a slow steady rhythm,

Alternating left and right.

As you step forward,

Remember you are calm.

You are soften.

Wishing you smiles and joy.
