Hey team,

Welcome to this quick brain break.

Begin in a comfortable seated position.

Feel rooted,

Safe,

And comfortable through your seat.

This guided meditation will help you feel less overwhelmed and anxious.

Once you're settled,

If it feels safe for you,

You can close your eyes.

If not,

You can just cast your gaze down at your lap or at something that isn't moving.

Start to take a few deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Just feeling the warmth of the breath moving in through the nostrils and the deflation sensation as you exhale,

Open your mouth.

Inhale for a count of four,

Three,

Two,

One,

And exhale for a count of one,

Two,

Three,

Four.

Try to keep your breath at this slowed pace,

Breathing in for four,

Four,

Breathing out for four.

As you inhale,

Imagine that you are breathing in calmness and peace and strength.

As you exhale,

Imagine that you are breathing out all of your anxiety and stress and worry.

There is nothing for you to worry about right now in this present moment.

All there is to do in this moment is breathe in for four,

Out for four,

Feeling your anxiety slip away with each exhale.

In for four,

Out for four.

If your mind begins to drift to feelings of worry,

Be mindful.

Notice this without judging it and just allowing your attention to come back to your breath.

In for four,

Out for four.

You are strong and can handle anything that life throws at you.

Last two rounds of breathing,

Noticing how calm you feel as you sit and breathe.

Once you finished off your last breath,

You can slowly begin to bring a bit more movement to your body,

Blinking your eyes open,

Allowing the light to filter in and taking this feeling of relaxation with you for the rest of your day.

Thank you for joining with me and sitting with me for this quick brain break.

Until we meet again,

Stay well.
