Good morning,
My friend.
Welcome to this new day.
Let the simplicity and truth of that allow your heart to open and soften.
We've never seen this day before.
How beautiful,
How exciting.
Close your eyes if that feels right to you.
Feel your awareness really pull inward.
Drift into your inner world.
Observe what is present right now.
What is real right now for you.
Breathe in some fresh air.
Exhale,
Release something.
Breathe in the newness of this day.
Exhale any stagnant energy of yesterday.
What if you don't need to know every single step of today.
What if you can let go of how it's going to unfold and instead choose to be present for every moment.
Surrender to the day.
Surrendering is not about being passive.
It's about trusting and being present with every moment that meets you.
Surrendering to the day is actually about allowing yourself to be in flow,
To feel into what feels in alignment.
As you step into this new day,
Can you choose to be proud of yourself right now versus at the end of the day when everything's been done.
Choose to acknowledge you right now before the doing,
Before the unraveling of the day.
Maybe placing a hand or two over your heart.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Whispering to yourself,
I am so proud of you.
I am so proud of you.
Leila Dalia writes,
Some version of yourself prayed for the wisdom you carry now.
Some version of yourself was preparing for the life you are now walking in.
Let yourself see and feel how beautifully far you've come.
Growth is not just about moving forward.
It's also about pausing and resting to integrate.
To breathe it in,
To let it settle,
To take care of yourself in the growing.
Really feel into the power of this pause before you step into your day.
Breathe into your heart.
Breathe out.
What is something you need to hear today?
Whisper it to yourself now.
Take in the wisdom of your own heart.
Hear your own encouraging voice.
What a gift it is to wake up and be you.
Breathe in this new energy you've cultivated within you.
Exhale anything that doesn't serve you.
Feel this shift within you.
Allow yourself to sink into this moment just a little bit longer.
Notice the temperature in the room you're in.
Feel your body held,
Supported by the cushion,
The ground beneath you.
And only when you're ready,
Not a moment sooner,
Flutter your eyes open if they were closed and gently look around your space.
Reorienting yourself here.
Allow your eyes to land on something that brings you joy.
Maybe find a soft smile.
Gently,
Slowly looking around,
Finding something else that brings you peace.
Breathing in deeply.
Exhale.
Bringing yourself back to center.
Carry this with you throughout your day,
My friend.
From my heart to yours.
