Hey, Great that you're taking the time for a quick check-in. When we are bombarded by external stimuli, It's easy to lose touch with ourselves. Taking a break every once in a while helps you reconnect with what truly matters. If you like, Gently close your eyes and take a deep, Clearing breath. Allow yourself to fully arrive in this moment. Feel your body breathing. Focus on the contact with the surface beneath you. Begin to move your attention through your body, From your feet, Up through your legs and hips, To your belly and chest, Along your back and into your shoulders. Move over your arms, All the way down into your hands. Soften your neck and your jaw. Relax the muscles in your face. Notice how you feel right now. Are there any thoughts going through your mind? How does your body feel in this moment? Meet yourself with kindness and care. Ask yourself, What do I need right now? Take a moment to consider what you want to do next. When you're ready, Slowly open your eyes and carry this mindful awareness with you into the next moments of your day.
