Close your eyes,
Take a breath in that's just for you and let it go.
Let's begin by arriving,
Not in the problems of the world,
But in the space that surrounds you,
The ground beneath you,
The air around you,
The world you live in right here,
Right here.
Now,
Let all your air out,
Let all the air out of your system and breathe in through your nose slowly for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Hold for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Out for seven,
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Let's do that together,
Three rounds,
Inhale for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Hold for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Out for seven,
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One,
In for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Hold for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Out for seven,
Six,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Last one,
In for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Hold for four,
Three,
Two,
One,
Out for seven,
Let everything out,
Five,
Four,
Three,
Two,
One.
Let yourself settle,
Let your nervous system soften,
Feel relaxed.
Now,
We're going to step into some grounding awareness.
So I want you to gently tune in to your own life,
Your home,
Your daily routines,
The people you care for so deeply,
So deeply,
The community you touch in super small ways or big ones.
I hope you have a smile on your face as you think about your own life,
Big smile on your face,
There's so much to be grateful for.
Now this is your corner of the world,
Your home,
Your daily routines,
The people you care for,
The community you touch,
This is your corner of the world.
Yes,
There is pain in the world,
And yes,
There are things that can break your heart to hear about,
But you are not powerless.
You change the world by tending to what is yours to tend,
With kindness,
With presence,
With love,
Lots of love.
You bring light by being light,
Right where you are.
You bring light by being light,
Wherever you are.
Is there a smile on your face?
I hope there is.
Now say this softly,
Either in your mind or out loud if you'd like.
I choose to focus on what I can touch.
I choose to focus on what I can touch.
I choose to focus on what I can touch.
I offer peace in the space I live.
I offer peace in the space I live in.
I offer peace in the space I live in.
I am not here to carry the world,
Only to love my part of it well.
I'll say this one a couple times.
I am not here to carry the world,
Only to love my part of it well.
I am not here to carry the world,
Only to love my part of it well.
I am not here to carry the world,
Only to love my part of it well.
I am not here to carry the world,
Only to love my part of it well.
With a smile on your face,
Breathe into that truth.
Feel how it lifts the weight,
While also deepening your impact.
Feel the weight lift off of your shoulders.
You do not need to carry the world.
Only your corner of the world.
Now you don't need to have all the answers.
Honestly,
Nobody does.
You don't need to solve everything,
Even if you feel like you need to.
You don't need to solve everything.
You just need to return,
Again and again,
To this space.
To your life.
To what's real and possible in front of you.
Because peace,
Like all things,
Grows close to home.
In your corner of the world.
Return to this space.
To your life.
In front of you,
In your corner of the world.
You are so capable of so many things.
Focus on your life.
You are truly,
Truly amazing.
Truly.
So,
Keep being you.
Stay present.
And stay humble.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
