Feel your feet rooted beneath you,
Your body supported by the surface you're on.
This moment is yours to pause,
To breathe,
To shift into a new way of seeing.
Take a deep breath in,
Hold it for a moment,
And slowly exhale.
Take another deep breath in,
This time imagining fresh curiosity filling your belly.
And as you exhale,
Releasing any tension,
Frustration,
Or fear that's weighing you down.
Inhale,
Welcoming openness.
Exhale,
Letting go of fear.
Now,
As an observer,
Picture yourself in a recent moment of frustration.
Maybe it's a conversation,
A challenge,
Or an unmet expectation.
Notice how your body feels.
And now,
Instead of reacting,
Imagine pressing pause,
Seeing yourself take a deep breath,
Softening your mind,
And replacing frustration with curiosity.
With your hand on your heart,
Silently repeat,
Curiosity is the cure to all frustration.
Curiosity is the cure to all frustration.
Feel how that shifts your energy.
Now ask yourself,
What's one question I might ask the next time I start to make assumptions that trigger frustration?
Let a question rise naturally.
It might be,
What do you mean by that?
Why is that important now?
Let your question anchor into your awareness,
Ready for when you need it most.
A question that can shift you from frustration to curiosity,
Reminding yourself once again,
Curiosity is the cure to all frustration.
Take one more deep breath in,
And exhale with a soft smile.
You have the power to transform frustration into possibility.
Stay open,
Stay curious.
When you're ready,
Gently bring movement back to your body,
And step into your day with fresh perspective and unbridled curiosity.
