Good morning,
Welcome to this new day.
If you're still lying in bed,
Take a moment to enjoy the soft feeling of the sheets around your body.
Notice the comfort of your pillow and how the morning air gently touches your skin.
Listen to the sounds of this new day.
Be grateful for waking up once again here on this planet.
Take a deep breath in and slowly exhale.
Enjoy the simple pleasure of being alive.
Feel your body as it moves with your breathing.
Notice the points of contact where you're touching the mattress.
Scan across your feet,
Your legs,
Your hips and back.
Move from your belly to your chest,
Over your arms and hands.
Relax your shoulders and neck,
Soften your face,
Allow the corners of your mouth to form a slight smile.
It's so wonderful that you're here.
Every new day is a gift.
Countless chances and opportunities are waiting just for you.
Think about what you're looking forward to today.
Maybe it's something small.
The smell of fresh coffee,
Sunlight on your skin,
The smile of someone you love.
If you like,
Set an intention for your day.
Maybe you want to cultivate a sense of presence and awareness.
Or meet everything you encounter with openness and curiosity.
Imagine yourself moving through this day with joy and ease.
When you're ready,
Gently begin to stretch your body.
Yawn if you like and slowly open your eyes.
Have a wonderful day.
