hey there and thanks for gifting
yourself these next few minutes it's
important to remember that you're a
priority and allowing yourself even just
a few short minutes of intentional
reflection can really have a positive
impact on the rest of your day so let's
use these next few minutes to come back
to Center and set an intention for the
rest of your day
[Music]
move into a comfortable position and
whether you're seated at your desk at
work or laying on the couch at home and
gently close your eyes and shift all of
your attention onto your breathing
taking slower deeper breaths then you've
taken all day so far taking a deep
breath in through your nose and slowly
letting it out through your mouth and
continuing to breathe that way
feeling your lungs expand out as you
inhale and contract back in as you
exhale
tune into your body noticing how it
feels
noticing if there's anything that it's
trying to tell you notice any place of
tension or tightness in your body and
give those areas permission to relax
sending love into those areas thank your
body for taking such good care of you
and let it know that it's okay to rest
and relax for these next few minutes
you may notice that your mind starts to
wander off that's okay that's natural
just notice it and bring your attention
back to your body using your breath as
your anchor try to picture one thing
that's happened today that's made you
smile or made you thankful or
appreciative and just let that feeling
fill you up for a moment breathe that
feeling in from the top of your head to
the tips of your toes and allow yourself
to smile if that feels natural now focus
on something that you can do today
whether it's for yourself or for someone
else that will allow you to continue
feeling this way it could be something
as small as deciding to go to bed early
tonight so that you have time to finally
read that book that's been on your
bedside table or the joy of getting
dinner with a close friend what's one
little thing you can plan for your day
to bring that intentional joy to it now
just focus on that for a few minutes sit
in that feeling of joy and peace
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
now let's take a few more deep breaths
together a deep breath in
feeling your lungs expand out as you
inhale and everything contract back in
as you exhale again an even deeper
breath than the one before it holding
that breath for a beat and exhaling
everything out
[Music]
last time your deepest breath yet
sending that breath through your entire
body and exhale it out and in your own
time slowly bring your awareness back to
where you are and thank yourself for
taking these few minutes to just be
intentional and kind to yourself and
when you're ready you can gently open
your eyes and enjoy the rest of your day
[Music]
you
