Preparing to return to your day.

Where are you in your day?

Is it morning?

If so,

What could the rest of your morning look like?

Is it afternoon?

If so,

What could the rest of your afternoon look like?

Despite all these things that you might need to do,

See how you respond to the following questions.

What do you value about something that you're going to do today?

If it's work,

What do you value about your work?

What could make today more meaningful?

What kind of a person do you want to be today?

And if you're going back to work,

What kind of a worker would you like to be today?

Is it possible to weave in some personal qualities that you could bring to your day to make it more meaningful?

What words come to mind when you reflect upon any personal qualities that you may like to bring to your day,

To yourself,

Or to other people around you?

Gently note them now.

You may like to just introduce a little half smile right now,

Just like the Mona Lisa.

Nothing forced.

Notice what that's like.

Finally,

Take a moment to complete this sentence in a way that will benefit you.

In a way that will benefit you.

For the rest of today,

I choose.

For the rest of today,

I choose.

You might like to reach for the kindest thought that comes up.

And now you're ready to go about your day.

Thank you for being part of the change.

Thank you, Reuben. What a perfectly simple way to reconnect 🩵

Namaste

I was a bit dubious when I saw that this track was only 4 minutes long. But it is perfect.
It brought me into the now and made me conscious that I had choices of how to be during my day. I liked it.
One question…. Have you stopped introducing yourself at the beginning of tracks?
Thanks Reuben 🙏

You made me pause, you made me think and reflect with your insightful questions and what immediately came to my mind when you asked us to choose our intention for today was kindness and thoughtfulness. Thank you so much Rueben for always being a beacon of light to me! ❤️🙏

I appreciated the thoughtful, reflective questions. Thank you. 🌺🌸
