Take a slow, easy breath in, knowing there is no wrong way to do this. And as you exhale, place one hand anywhere on your body that feels like it can use some love. There's no wrong or right place, just where your body says yes. Feel the warmth of your hand, the gentle pressure, the quiet contact. Let your body register this simple message: you are here, you are allowed to pause. You may even wish to say this silently to your body: I am here, I am allowed to pause. Stay with this warmth for one more breath. Inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. Receiving comfort without needing to do anything. Feel that you are more relaxed than when you began in less than a minute. Take this calm with you. If this helped you, subscribe and make this your daily minute. I'm sending you so much love.
