Good morning.
Before you step into the doing of the day,
Let's set your nervous system.
Find a comfortable seat,
Feet on the floor,
Spine tall,
Shoulders relaxed,
Jaw soft.
Place one hand over your heart,
The other on your belly.
And take one slow inhale through your nose and a gentle exhale out your mouth.
Now we'll breathe in a smooth,
Steady rhythm,
Inhaling for five seconds and exhaling for five seconds.
No forcing,
Just even and easy.
Let's begin.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Continuing with that pattern,
As you breathe,
Imagine the breath moving in and out through your heart space,
Like your heart is breathing.
Now add one feeling you want to carry into your day.
Perhaps it's gratitude,
Confidence,
Calm,
Courage,
Or clarity.
Let that feeling warm the center of your chest as you keep the rhythm.
If your mind wanders,
That's okay.
Come back to the count.
Come back to the heart.
Five.
Inhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Exhale,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five.
Now let your breathing return to normal.
Keep your hand on your heart and silently repeat to yourself,
I choose a steady mind today.
I lead from my heart.
I trust myself to take the next right step.
Beautiful.
Take one final breath in and a slow exhale out.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes and step into your day with full coherence.
You got this.
