Welcome. Take a moment to arrive exactly where you are. You do not have to fix anything right now. You don't have to figure anything out. For the next few minutes, Your only job is to be here. Begin by noticing the surface supporting you. You have the chair beneath you or the floor beneath your feet. Let your attention move outward for a moment. Notice one thing you can see. One thing you can hear. And one physical sensation in your body. There's nothing you need to change about any of these sensations. Just notice. Now bring your attention to your breathing. Don't force a deep breath. Simply notice the breath that is already happening. As you breathe in. Gently notice. I'm here. As you breathe out. I don't have to solve everything right now. If your mind moves toward worry, That's okay. You don't need to argue with the thought. You can simply notice. I'm having a worried thought. And then gently return to the present moment. Feel your feet. Notice your surroundings. Feel the support beneath you. Take one comfortable breath. And remind yourself. Right now. In this moment. I am here. I can take the next small step when it is time. Let yourself stay here for one more breath. And when you're ready. Gently return your attention. To your surroundings. Thank you for practicing with me.
