Take a moment to pause.
Wherever you are,
Let yourself arrive.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Bring your attention to your breath,
Not changing it,
Just noticing it.
Notice the steady place within you that hasn't moved today.
Beneath the noise,
Beneath the effort.
With your inhale,
Feel yourself gathering inward.
With your exhale,
Feel yourself settling.
You don't need to chase clarity.
You don't need to push for calm.
It's already here.
Silently repeat,
I return to myself.
Again,
I return to myself.
Take one slow breath in and release it gently.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes.
Carry this steadiness with you.
