Incorporate this morning meditation into your routine:

Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. Sit or lie down in a relaxed position, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.

STEP 1:

Begin by bringing your attention to your breath. Notice the sensation of the air entering and leaving your body. Allow your breath to flow naturally, without trying to control it.

As thoughts arise, simply acknowledge them without judgment and gently bring your focus back to your breath.

STEP 2:

Next, bring awareness to your body. Scan from head to toe, noticing any areas of tension or discomfort. With each exhale, imagine releasing any tension, allowing your body to soften and relax.

Shift your focus to your thoughts and emotions. Notice any feelings that arise without getting caught up in them. Allow them to come and go like passing clouds in the sky.

STEP 3:

Finally, set an intention for your day. It could be a word or phrase that embodies how you want to feel or what you want to focus on. Repeat this intention silently to yourself a few times, anchoring it in your mind.

STEP 4:

Take a few more deep breaths, and when you’re ready, gently open your eyes and return to your day feeling centered and refreshed.

Practice this daily.
