Good morning.

Welcome to a new day.

You're transitioning from sleep to everything you're going to do today.

So we're setting the foundation right here for it to be an amazing day.

So let's clear our mind,

Whatever we've woken up with,

Yesterday's thoughts.

Let's see if we can notice but set them aside here.

So take a breath in through the nose.

Acknowledge the thought and exhale to let it rest.

Doing that again.

One more time.

Inhale.

Let your eyes lightly close and allow yourself to visualize yourself going through your day with the best possible outcome with all of it.

So what does your best possible day look like?

Starting with what you do when you get out of bed,

Getting ready for the day,

Going into commuting maybe,

Working,

Activities.

What are your easy points for the day?

Who are you going to see that makes you happy and excited?

And what points of your day do you anticipate might be a little more challenging?

And who do we know that we might interact with that might be a little more challenging?

And with these challenging situations,

Let's take a deep breath in.

Exhale out an open mouth and see the best possible outcome.

And don't just see it.

Hear it.

Smell it.

Taste it.

Facing our challenges with the full possibility of the best possible outcome.

And we'll finish by allowing the mind to clear once again.

Deep inhale.

Exhale,

Open mouth.

And decide now what you'll feed your body,

What you'll feed your mind today.

How consumption makes you feel.

And knowing you can always come back to center if you start to feel stressed.

Taking one more big breath in.

Exhale,

Let it go.

Have an awesome day.

Bye.
