Welcome,

My friend.

Let's begin by softly bringing your palms together and gently rubbing them until they feel warm.

Feel the warmth you create with your own hands,

A reminder that you are a source of your own change.

Now place one of your hands on your chest and the other on your lower belly.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Feeling the warmth under your hands,

And slowly exhale through your mouth,

Letting go of any tension.

Allow your shoulders to soften,

Your jaw to release,

Breathe here,

Letting this gentle contact anchor you into the present moment.

Now,

Imagine yourself standing at a crossroads.

One path is familiar,

Patterns,

Habits,

Automatic choices.

The other path shines with possibility,

New choices,

New ways of being that align with what truly matters to you.

See yourself standing at the edge of these paths,

Holding awareness of your values like a lantern lighting the way.

Ask yourself,

What is one behavior I can shift today that would align more fully with my values?

Picture what that behavior looks like,

A kind word spoken,

A boundary honored,

A pause before reacting.

Visualize yourself taking this new action,

Feeling how empowering,

Freeing,

And true it is.

With your hands still on your heart,

Repeat to yourself,

I choose to change my behaviors to better align with my values.

Breathe this commitment in and let it root deeply within you.

Take a final steady breath in,

Welcoming this intention into every cell and exhale with a gentle sigh.

When you feel ready,

Slowly wiggle your fingers and toes,

Flutter your eyes open,

And step forward with the courage to make choices that serve your values today.

You are the architect of your alignment,

One choice at a time.

You got this.
