Hello my friend Begin to arrive in this moment exactly as you are Breathe in Big exhale out your mouth Really allow yourself to fully be as you are What feelings are visiting your heart?
Is there ease or anxiety?
As you think about getting together with family or friends Just notice No judgment Wrap yourself up in this warm acceptance Allowing yourself to feel as you are Versus think you should be feeling something else It's okay to feel how you feel Breathe in And let it go Inhale for 2,

8 Inhale Feel how you can cultivate calm within No matter the chaos that is on your way During a family or friend event Your breath is always with you Right here,
See if you can set all expectations free Letting go of how you think everything should go Letting go of how you want people to be Letting go of all expectations Especially if there's an expectation that it's not going to go well What if it does?
Remembering that your energy is sacred Don't spend it trying to fix or control or change anything Something you allow today to be Versus forcing how you think it should be Breathe in,
Breathe out Maybe opening your palms in your lap Whispering,
I surrender I let go I allow Feel this relief in knowing you are not in control You don't have to be the glue You don't have to keep the peace You don't have to be the light Let this be a relief As you open your palms even more Let go of the responsibility of others See if you can energetically feel this leaving your body Freeing yourself of the responsibility of others Breathe in,
Breathe out Mel Robbins so beautifully has shared this theory called the Let Them Theory She writes,
Stop wasting your energy trying to control or change people Let them show you who they really are and then you can choose what to do next Let them treat you the way they treat you Let them be as they are And then you get to decide how to respond Breathe in here Breathe out here And let it go Can you feel a new belief system start to rise?
Allowing this fresh energy and new truths to enter your mind Let it be different And may you always remember that the family you create is more important than the family you come from And the friendship you have with yourself is more important than any relationship Allow any lingering anxiety or stress fade away Steady inhale Steady exhale What is an affirmation you can whisper to yourself throughout the day,
Throughout the evening?
Remember that you are always here for you May you hold and support yourself through it all And what is something that you need to hear?
Only you know Breathe in Exhale Feel the shift within you Acknowledge the space that you've created here Carry it with you And simply be proud of yourself for showing up in the best way you can Open,
Heart open,
Free of expectations Choosing love Inhale Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes Maybe reach your arms out and up,
Really taking up space Exhale,
Pull your hands into your heart Holding your arm Moving into this family event or meeting of friends with an open arm One more breath in And release From my heart to yours
