Alright,
We're not going to relax completely,
We're going to reset.
So right now your system is activated.
Too much input,
Too much tension,
Too much noise.
So we're going to interrupt that.
Now,
Not by thinking,
But by using your body.
So follow along.
Begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose.
Now pause just for a second,
And take another short inhale on the top of it.
Now let it go slow through your mouth.
Good.
Now again,
Deep inhale,
Small second sip of air,
And then a long exhale.
Now one more time,
A deep inhale,
Top it up,
And then a slow release.
Good.
Now that alone starts to shift your system.
Now bring your attention to your body.
Now notice where you're holding tension.
It's usually the shoulders,
Jaw,
Chest,
Or even your belly.
So pick one area,
And then gently tighten it just a little.
Hold it,
And then release it.
Good.
Now again,
Tighten,
And then release.
Feel the difference now.
Now let the area start to loosen.
And move your attention down into your feet.
Now press them lightly into the ground,
Or into whatever is supporting them.
Good.
Now for your hands.
Make a soft fist.
Hold it,
And let them open.
Very loose now.
Now take another slow breath in,
And then a long breath out.
And then notice this.
Your body is starting to downshift a little.
Now this is physical,
It's not mental.
So now we slow things even further.
So bring your attention to your breath again.
But this time,
Don't change it.
Just watch it.
Air moving in,
And out.
That's it.
If your mind jumps in,
Well that's fine.
Just come back to the breath.
In and out.
So now,
Let's ground this.
So look around you.
Name silently three things you can see.
Now take your time.
Good.
Now two things that you can feel.
The chair,
Your clothes,
Or even your hands.
And just notice.
And now one thing you can hear.
Any sound near or far.
Good.
Now what you just did was bring your system back to the present.
Out of the loop,
And out of the noise.
And into what's actually here.
So now check in.
Notice your body.
Slower.
Heavier.
And more stable.
That is your nervous system resetting.
Not perfectly.
And not all at once.
But enough.
And that is all you need.
So now,
Take one more slow breath in.
And then let it fall out gently.
Good.
You can return to this any time.
The breath.
The body.
The ground.
That's the reset.
Good work today,
And namaste.
