Welcome my dear.

If you're here then maybe you're starting to feel the edges of burnout starting to creep up on you.

Maybe a little bit of irritability.

Maybe a little bit of feeling like you want to lash out.

Maybe feeling like you want to say things you don't mean to say.

Maybe feeling like you just want to give up,

Crash out,

And go home.

Well let's not do that.

This meditation is here so that you can just take five minutes out of your day for some burnout prevention and recovery.

I want you to find a moment,

A space,

A time where you will not be interrupted.

Maybe a place that is dark,

Cool,

A place with minimal stimulation.

Maybe you can even cover your eyes and lie down or sit comfortably in a chair.

But I want you to find yourself seated in a way that allows you to let go of the outside world and come inward.

Finding however you want to arrive into this space,

Close your eyes and go inward.

We're gonna start with just ten breaths to help you ground into this moment.

So let's start with a breath in and out.

For one,

In.

For two,

In.

Take your time.

And out.

For three,

Six,

In.

Nice and slow.

Seven,

Six,

Five,

Four,

Three,

Two,

One.

Settling into your body now.

Observing what's happening in your physical form.

Noticing how your body's feeling.

How is your energy?

What is happening in your energy?

And where can we soften?

Take a breath in.

Exhale to soften into this moment.

Soften your heart.

Soften your mind.

Allow what is happening.

Good.

Breathing in.

Noticing now.

Where is your mind?

What is happening in your mind?

What is your mind grasping onto?

What is your mind pushing or shoving?

And can we release the grasping of the mind and let it just blossom open like a flower.

Breathing in.

Letting go.

Allowing your ears to just open to the sounds around you.

And maybe even allowing your palms to open up to the space in the moment around you.

Loosening your grip.

Becoming fully present,

Aware of the sounds around you.

Aware of your own breath.

And the choices that you have to respond to everything that's happening in the way that you want to.

Bring a hand to your heart,

Maybe a hand to the belly.

Breathe in.

And check in with yourself.

What do I need right now to feel my best in this moment,

Regardless of anything that anybody else is needing from me?

Tune into that.

Listen to your inner wisdom.

Thank you for taking this break with me.

Have a beautiful day.
