Speaker 1: Good morning, and welcome to this moment of calm. If
the day ahead already feels heavy or uncertain, or a
little overwhelming, you're not alone. Let this be a place
where you can pause, breathe, and begin again. Gently. Find
a position of comfort. You can sit, lie down, or
remain just as you are. If it feels right, close
your eyes or soften your gaze. Take a deep breath
in through your nose and let it leave gently through
your mouth again, breathe in deeply and breathe out fully.
One more deep breath, breathing in steadiness and breathing out tension.
Morning anxiety often comes from looking too far ahead. The
mind tries to predict, prepare, control everything that might happen,
and all at once. The day can feel like too much.
But right now you're not in the whole day. You
are here in this moment. Take a breath in and
feel your body where you are. Exhale and let your
attention settle into the present. Take note of your shoulders,
let them relax. Notice your jaw, let it soften, Notice
your breath, let it slow. You don't have to carry
the entire day all at once. You only need to
be here for this breath and then the next. Keep
breathing normally, and as you breathe in, imagine gathering your
energy back from everything ahead of you, all the tasks,
all the conversations, all the unknowns, only for now. Let
them wait. As you breathe out, return that energy back
into yourself. Now inhale, gathering and exhale, returning, Let your
mind become a little quieter, a little less pulled forward.
You don't need to feel completely ready. You don't need
to feel confident about everything. You don't even need to
feel perfectly calm right away. You only need a tiny
shift from overwhelmed too willing. Take a breath in and affirm,
I can begin, exhale and affirm. I can take one
step again, inhale, I can begin and exhale. I can
take one step. Let that be enough. Now, imagine the
day ahead not as one long stretch, but as a
series of small, manageable moments, one conversation, one task, one
breath at a time. You don't have to move through
it all right now. You will meet each part when
you arrive there, and when you do, you will handle
it in the way You need to take a deeper
breath in and as you let it out, feel your
body grounding, study support it. There is strength in you,
even if it feels quiet. There is capability in you,
even if it feels distant. There is part of you
that knows how to move forward, gently, steadily, one step
at a time. Let yourself connect with that part. Now,
no pressure, no rush, only a quiet willingness to begin.
Take one more slow, steady inhale and a long grounding exhale.
Gently begin to bring small movement back to your body.
Wiggle your fingers, your toes, roll your shoulders if that
feels good, and when you are ready, open your eyes
or lift your gaze. Carry this with you. You don't
have to face the entire day at once. Only take
the next step, and that is something you can do.
