Good morning. Maybe you're making your tea. Maybe you are still looking for your keys. Whatever you are doing. Keep doing it. Don't stop. Don't sit down. Don't even close your eyes. I'm not here to add one more thing into your morning. I am just here to be with you. For the next few minutes. While you move through your morning. Let's begin! Right where you are. Your molding is already moving. From one thing to the next. And that is okay. We are not here to stop any of that. We are here! Just to notice. What is here right now. This morning. This moment. Before the rest of your day begins. If you are holding your tea, Notice the warmth in your hands. If you are washing your face. Feel the cool water against your skin. If you are putting on your shoes, Notice your feet meeting the floor. There is nothing special you need to do. Just notice. What is here right now. And while you are noticing all of this, Perhaps notice. For easy breath. Nothing to change. Just notice it. As you breathe in, Welcome the freshness of this new morning. As you breathe out. If you can't leave behind any heaviness. You may still be carrying from yesterday. You don't have to carry everything into this new day. If you are walking now, Or maybe just about to step outside. Notice your feet touching the ground. Right. Left. Right, Left. Just keep walking. One step at a time. And before you know it. You are already walking into this new day. Perhaps that is enough for now. Just a few moments. To notice your morning. Before the rest of your day begins. And before we finish. One question to carry with you. When people spend time with you today. How would you like them to feel afterwards? There is no right and wrong answer. Just let that question stay with you. As you move through your day. Go and live your day. Fun Steps! One smile. One moment at a time. Have a wonderful day.
