Somatic Reset Week: Day 1: The Space Between Stimulus & Response

A guided meditation on the pause between what happens to you and how you react. Take a breath in that gap, and you get to choose your response instead of just reacting automatically. Jenny walks you through it in a few minutes.

Welcome. I'm so glad you're here. Something happens to you within the first 5 minutes of being awake. Your phone buzzes, or you remember what's on your calendar, or a thought about yesterday shows up uninvited, and your body reacts before your mind even catches up. That's normal. It's not a flaw. But there's a space between what happens to you and what you do next. And this morning, I want you to notice it's there. You don't have to fill it in right away. You don't have to have an opinion about the day yet. Just notice the gap. That gap is where your choice actually lives. Not in the reaction, not in the story you tell yourself about the reaction, but in the quiet second before either one. Please take a breath in through your nose as you remind yourself you always have that moment to pause before reacting. Hold. And exhale with the feeling of power and peace that brings. Today, when something pulls at you, try this: pause just for a breath before you respond. Not because you have to get it right, just because you can. I'm sending you so much love. If there's someone that comes to mind that can use a little peace, please share this with them. And please subscribe to keep returning to peace in under 2 minutes a day. Thank you, Jenny. Thank you so much for being here with me today.
