When you're ready,
Find a comfortable seat.
Give yourself permission to just be here.
Close your eyes or find a soft gaze.
You can rest your palms somewhere on your legs,
Wherever they feel comfortable.
Now just listen to your breath.
Check in.
As you listen to your inhales and exhales,
Just notice where they're most prominent in your body.
Maybe you feel them mostly in your chest.
Perhaps you feel an expansion of your ribs.
Or maybe you feel your breath mostly in your belly.
Wherever it is,
It's okay.
Just notice it.
Perhaps right now at this time in your life,
Feeling like you're just going through the motions.
Maybe you feel like you're living on autopilot a little too often.
Not conscious of your choices,
The things you say or your actions.
You're just going through the motions.
The things you say or your actions.
And this is really common.
I invite you to first not judge yourself for it.
Just observe.
Just be kind to yourself.
You're worthy of that.
You can imagine your mind like a sky,
The big blue sky.
And in the vastness of the sky,
There are clouds,
Different shapes,
Sizes.
Some are light,
Some are dark,
But they always pass.
And so in your mind's eye,
Just imagine that your thoughts are the passing clouds.
And as you breathe,
You can just watch those thoughts pass by.
And instead of getting involved in them,
I invite you to embrace the intention of just watching.
When you find yourself getting involved or distracted,
Just take a deep inhale and a cleansing exhale.
And this will bring you back.
I want you to call on what you need right now.
What do you need?
What do you need to be more focused on to get more intentional with?
Maybe one part of your life,
Something that's standing out,
Or maybe it's a thought pattern that comes up again in the morning.
It's quite negative and you'd like to change it.
Whatever it is,
Really ask yourself,
What do you need?
As you come to an answer here,
Just pair it down to one phrase or a word.
You can repeat it in your mind or maybe just see it as another passing cloud.
Maybe one that lingers a little bit longer than the others.
This is your intention.
This is what you intend to do or become or be.
An intention is something that you activate right now.
Repeat that intention in your mind.
Harness it,
Embrace it,
Bring it into your day.
When you're ready,
Let's take a deep breath together.
Inhale and exhale.
You can allow that deep cleansing breath to inspire some movement in your body,
Whatever that looks like for you.
And when you're ready,
Come back into the space around you.
Just thank yourself for making time today for you.
For your mind and your wellness.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes and have a beautiful day.
