'Tense? Take a breath. Notice any expectations and let them go...' - In this track I share a short poem written partly as advice for myself, partly as a reminder that the now is all that exists and that I (and all of us) are in fact safe, provided we drop all expectations, of ourselves, others and the world.

Transcript

Tense.

Take a breath.

Notice any expectations.

Of the self.

Of others.

Of the world.

And let them go.

Focus on your senses.

Ask.

What can I see?

What can I feel?

What can I hear?

Take a breath.

It's okay to feel bad.

It's okay to feel good.

Just feel whatever you are feeling.

Take a breath.

All expectations.
