Thank you for taking this moment for yourself.
To escape the confusion,
The worry,
The uncertainty.
To be here now,
In this moment.
To be still and catch your breath.
This may seem so simple,
Yet it can also be the hardest thing to do,
Especially when it feels like you are spinning and tumbling inside a washing machine.
So take this time to choose the gentle cycle and gently close over your eyes.
And let's take a deep and cleansing breath to bring calm to the centre.
Take a deep breath in and let it out.
And simply be here now,
With your breath,
Allowing everything else to fall away.
From this moment,
For this moment.
Take a deep breath in and let it out.
Gently,
Slowly.
And pause for a minute here,
In the messy middle.
There's no need to sort or solve anything right now.
No need to search for answers.
No need to do anything at all other than breathe in and out.
Allow yourself to rest here,
In the waiting.
Taking a moment,
Taking this moment,
To breathe in deeply and let it out slowly.
Allow the spaciousness of the in-between to expand around you.
Feel into that expansion.
Push it out as far as you need for it to feel comfortable for you.
And give yourself all the space you need right now.
Allow yourself to breathe in and out.
Tomorrow can worry about itself.
Let today hold you,
In this moment,
For this moment.
Breathe in deeply and let it out slowly.
And as you keep breathing at your own gentle and nourishing pace,
If I can give you one gift to take with you beyond this moment,
Please take this.
You are exactly where you need to be right now,
Even though it may not be where you had in mind.
And it's okay to not know or fully understand what's in front of you or even what the next step is just yet.
And in those moments where you catch yourself spinning out into the future,
Slow it down.
Circle back to the present moment and just breathe.
Because calm is your superpower.
Surrender is your sidekick.
Your breath is your best friend and it will carry you through each and every moment,
Moment to moment,
Just like this.
So take a deep breath in and let it out slowly.
And trust that your growth and expansion is perfectly on track.
Your life is exactly to schedule and you are perfectly on time.
It's all perfect,
Even in the messy middle,
Even in the spin cycle.
So take a deep breath in and let it out slowly.
Trust the process.
Trust yourself.
You can absolutely do hard things.
You just did.
You stopped and breathed for a moment and you can take this breath into the next moment and the one after that and the one after that.
And now as you begin to land back into your body,
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes and stretch out any parts of you that need the creases and crinkles ironed out.
And softly,
Slowly open your eyes.
Keep your head up,
Your eyes soft,
Your jaw relaxed,
Your heart open and your breath deep.
And take one more breath in and out.
Feeling,
Trusting,
Knowing you've got this.
