Hi,
I'm Laia.
Welcome to this quick break at your desk.
This is ideal if you are in between calls,
In between meetings,
And you just have a moment to yourself,
And you just want to re-ground,
Re-center,
And reconnect.
With how you want to feel.
So find a comfortable seat wherever you may be and you can feel free to soften your gaze or close your eyes or simply just gaze down.
Inhale through the nose.
Exhale through the nose or the mouth.
Again,
Inhale,
Letting it expand into the belly,
The rib cage,
The chest.
Sigh it out.
Notice how your shoulders soften,
Your jaw unclenches,
The tiny muscles around your eyes.
Let go.
Breathe out.
Notice any part of your body you can soften,
Even if it's just 1%.
Inhale,
Counting to four.
Exhale,
Counting to six.
Allow yourself to be here.
Inhale for four.
Exhale for six.
In 4-4.
Out for six.
Last one,
Deep breath in.
And slower breath out.
Take a moment to consider how you feel in your body.
What's going on in your mind.
And give yourself permission to restart.
From right here,
Right now.
With a little more kindness toward yourself.
More gentleness,
More intention.
What is one thing I could do?
In the next meeting,
In the next call,
In the next hour.
To be fully or at least a little bit more connected to myself.
Breathe in.
And breathe out.
If your eyes were closed,
Start to open them again.
I hope that this little pause at your desk helped you and come back to it anytime you have a snippet of time and you want to return to yourself.
Until we meet again,
Take care and be well.
