Welcome.
Before we begin,
Make sure you're somewhere safe.
No distractions,
No pressure to perform.
Just you,
Your body,
And this moment.
Take a deep breath in,
And slowly let it out.
We'll do that again,
Inhale,
Exhale.
Let's scan through your body.
Bring your attention to the crown of your head.
Let it relax.
Let that awareness move down to your forehead,
Your jaw.
Unclench your mouth,
Soften your eyes.
Feel your throat relax,
Your shoulders drop.
Let your chest open and expand with your breath.
Let the breath move all the way down your spine,
Into your hips,
Your legs,
Your feet.
You are here,
Fully present,
Fully alive.
And for the next few minutes,
We're going to imagine something important.
Something most people avoid thinking about,
But something that might just change your life.
I want you to imagine that you've just received the news.
Today is your last day alive.
There's no drama,
No emergency.
You just know.
You have exactly 24 hours.
Let that land in your body.
You're not in pain.
You're not in fear.
But you are deeply aware that this is it.
Now I want you to picture waking up in your bed this morning with that awareness.
What do you do first?
Do you lie there in stillness?
Do you reach for someone next to you?
Do you look out the window?
What emotions rise as the day begins?
Now picture yourself moving through the day.
Who do you want to talk to?
What would you say to them that you've never had the courage to say before?
Picture that conversation.
See it.
No games.
No masks.
No delays.
Just truth.
Now think about where you'd want to go.
Maybe it's the ocean.
Maybe it's your childhood neighborhood.
Maybe it's someone's arms.
Go there now in your mind.
What are you wearing?
What does the air smell like?
You're fully alive at this moment.
You're not rushing anymore.
You're not chasing anything.
You're simply being.
What do you want to eat today?
What do you want to hear?
What music would you play?
Are there tears?
Laughter?
Silence?
Whatever you're feeling is welcome.
Let it be there.
Take a moment to imagine one last sunset.
Let the colors melt into the sky.
Let them soak into your chest.
This is the last sunset you will ever see.
Breathe it in.
Now that you've lived your last day in your mind,
Let's ask the hard questions.
Take your time with each one.
What parts of your life have you been ignoring,
Pretending they don't matter?
What are you afraid to pursue because you're scared to fail?
If you had one more conversation with your younger self,
What would you say?
Who deserves to hear,
I forgive you,
From you?
And who do you need to forgive so that you can finally be free?
What's one thing you'd stop doing right now if you stopped fearing judgment?
And what have you already done in this life that you're proud of?
Let that pride sit in your body.
Feel it.
Own it.
Now here's the truth.
You're not dying today.
You still have time.
Not forever,
But enough.
And how you spend that time is up to you.
Will you go back to playing small?
Or will you start living like it matters?
Right now,
Make a promise to yourself.
Not a dramatic,
Once-a-year kind of promise,
But a small,
Sacred one.
A promise to live just a little more honestly.
To say what you mean.
To love harder.
To show up more fully.
And to stop waiting.
And now,
Let's take one last moment.
Not to push,
Not to challenge,
But to feel peace.
And remember what this is all for.
Picture yourself at the end of your life.
Not today,
But many,
Many years from now.
You're sitting somewhere peaceful.
Maybe with your kids,
Or grandkids.
Or just yourself,
Looking out over a quiet lake.
You're smiling.
Not because it was easy,
But because you showed up.
You lived fully.
You felt everything.
And you loved well.
That's all you needed.
That's all that matters.
Let's take three deep breaths together.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Last one.
This time,
Breathe in life.
Exhale doubt.
Begin to come back into your body.
Wiggle your fingers.
Move your jaw.
Roll your shoulders.
Whenever you're ready,
Open your eyes.
You've still got time.
Make it count.
