2 Minute Reset

Have you been sitting too long? Just had a bit of an argument with someone? Received an e-mail which you don't want to open?

Maybe you're feeling a bit of brain fog after being on your screen too long, focusing on a task for a long time or just need to shift your energy.

In this 2 minute reset exercise, I guide you through a few steps to connect with your body, to focus on physical sensation and the slight movement we experience when standing.

By giving our brains something new, something different to focus on, we give the rest of the brain a rest and a chance to reset, before we get back to whatever we need to do next.

Transcript

For this short 2 minute reset,

I'd like you to stand up,

Set your feet roughly shoulder width apart,

Close your eyes and feel into the soles of your feet where they're in contact with your shoes,

In contact with the floor and use your imagination to imagine pushing roots down through however many layers of building deep into the earth,

Providing us both with a strong foundation and a connection to the earth beneath us As we breathe and stand here,

Deeply rooted in the earth,

Notice how the body,

Although still if we were to use a word to describe it,

Is actually moving,

Moving forward and back or side to side There are lots of micro-movements,

Our joints adjusting,

Everything to keep our head safe Feel how different parts of your body are moving,

Become aware of the pattern of your swaying Sometimes we can add a little movement by bending a knee,

Just to see what that's like,

One way,

The other way and come back again,

Feel how you are fully connected,

Both with the floor and remembering our roots fully connected to the earth beneath us,

And take a deep breath in,

A slow breath out,

And you can carry on with your day
