Relax

Come. Let's find a spot away from the noise. Sit with me. Let's just breathe. For a moment, close your eyes. Breathe.

Put your hands on your waist and breathe deeply. Expand your chest forward as you squeeze your elbows back without moving your hands. As you exhale, relax. Breathe deeply again, taking your elbows back once more. Breathe out, relax. Let's do it one more time.

Jiggle your body a bit so that it relaxes comfortably. Lay your hands on your lap or on your knees, palms up or palms down. They will fall naturally into one of those expressions. Breathe. Scan your body for any tension. Breathe into that space. Blow the tension out. Inhale with your eyes closed, exhale with your eyes open and a smile. Inhale, exhale, smile. Inhale, exhale, smile.

With each inhale, let your body be heavy. With each exhale, float. Let go of any toxic thoughts. Inhale with your eyes closed, exhale with your eyes open and a smile. Inhale, exhale heaviness. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.

Put your right hand on your left shoulder. Put your left hand on your right shoulder. Breathe deeply with your eyes closed. Keep them closed as you exhale. No hurry. Repeat four more times. S l o w l y. Return to your normal breathing rhythm. After a few moments, open your eyes. Smile. Walk back to your day a little lighter, relaxed, calm and at ease.
