Good morning now. Begin now by closing your eyes. And imagine the sky above you. Unbothered. Clouds so they may move through it. Birds, Well, They may cross it. And storms may form and fade. But the sky itself remains. Spacious, Still, And untouched. Now take a slow breath in. And imagine borrowing a little of that sky. Not all of it. Just enough. Enough space for this morning. Enough calm for this body. Enough room between you and the first thought of the day. So breathe in a little more sky. And then breathe out a little less pressure. And again. Breathe in. Wide and open. And then breathe out. Soft and steady. Your thoughts can move. Your plans can wait. Your worries can pass like weather. You don't have to become every cloud that crosses the mind. You're allowed to be the space that holds it. Some say quietly inside. I'm allowed to be spacious. I'm allowed to move slowly. I'm allowed to begin in peace. Feel the forehead smooth out Feel the chest soften. Feel the breath become even quieter Now the day may be busy. You don't have to become busy inside. So take one final breath, Or the calm of the sky. And carry it into the first step of your morning. Good work today and namaste.
