Detach From Outcomes & Release Control

If just for today you were mindful of your breath, mindful of your thoughts, mindful of what story is on repeat your day would turn out a whole lot different than it usually does. Knowing that while we can be aware of our thoughts, our attitudes, and our emotions we do not need to attach to them. We do not need to identify with them. We can allow them to just be what they are.

Just for today, we will practice non-attachment.

Settling in,

Finding your seat or lying down,

Allow all tension to flow from your body.

Take a deep breath in and a full breath out.

Just for today,

Be mindful of your breath.

Notice the breath in and notice the breath out.

Most importantly,

Pay attention to the space in between each breath,

The pause,

Although subtle.

Just for today,

Be aware of your thoughts.

As each thought comes in,

Ask who sent it and for what purpose.

Just for today,

Being mindful of the tone of your thoughts.

Is there a reoccurring thought happening for you,

A thought that is on repeat?

If so,

What is the underlining tone of it?

Is it worry or frustration,

Anger,

Impatience?

Awareness in and out of the nose.

Just for today,

Notice your attitude.

Is there resentment or judgment?

Is there resistance or are you content and at peace?

Just for today,

Notice where your mind likes to live.

Is it in the past or is it more into the future?

Finding your breath once more in and out of the nose,

Knowing that while we can be in awareness of our thoughts,

Our attitudes and our emotions,

We do not need to attach to them.

We do not need to identify with them.

We can allow them to just be what they are.

So just for today,

We will practice non-attachment.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Just for today,

We will practice non-attachment.

Just for today,

We will practice non-attachment.

Taking three deep breaths in now through the nose and make a ha noise as you open your mouth to exhale.

When you are ready,

Slowly beginning to bring yourself back into your body,

Back into the room and back into the space that surrounds you.

Opening your eyes when you are ready and taking this practice into your day.
