Close your eyes,
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Hold it gently at the top,
And slowly exhale through your mouth.
Let your body begin to settle.
Notice where you're holding tension,
Maybe in your shoulders,
Your jaw,
Or your belly.
Send your breath right to that space,
Let it soften,
Just a little,
Allow your exhale to help you.
Feel yourself arriving fully in this moment,
No need to be anywhere else.
Now,
Imagine yourself living your best life.
What does that look and feel like?
What core value is driving you?
Perhaps it's authenticity,
Growth,
Or inner harmony.
Let yourself notice what core value comes to heart and mind today.
No approval necessary from outside of your own.
Once you have that value,
Ask yourself,
What makes this core value unique to me?
How do I define it?
Now,
With that definition at heart,
Bring your hand to your heart space,
Make a loving commitment to activate that very same value in the way you define it today.
Bring a smile to your face knowing this is the truth.
You get to make this choice every single day.
Take one final deep,
Steady breath in and a soft exhale out.
You are clear,
You are centered,
And you are free to live by your values your way.
When you're ready,
You can slowly open your eyes and carry this truth with you into the day ahead.
Your values are your compass.
No one else gets to hold the map.
You got this.
