Good morning.
Distractions are a natural part of life,
But today we'll empower ourselves to manage them intentionally.
When something pulls at your attention,
Kindly remind yourself,
I can engage with that later.
By choosing to stay focused now,
You are creating space for something meaningful later,
Such as more time for yourself,
For your loved ones,
Relaxing break,
The pride of knowing you've completed what matters most.
Choosing intentionally will add a sense of purpose to your day.
And let's start our yoga nidra practice.
Lay down on your back,
Adjust your head to be in line with your spine as you lengthen the back of your neck.
Once you've made your final adjustments,
It's a good moment to gently close your eyes.
Few conscious breaths.
Inhale the freshness of this new day.
Exhale any exhaustion.
Inhale the present.
Exhale the past.
Beautiful.
And last one.
Inhale.
Slowly exhale.
And let's set your sankalpa.
I am energized and ready to move forward with purpose.
My mind is clear and I know exactly what I need to do.
So for the few upcoming minutes,
Deliberately choose to narrow down your focus point,
Holding onto my voice as you move the awareness from one body part to the other.
And bring your awareness to your heels,
Knees,
Hips,
Hands,
Shoulders,
Ears,
Back.
Extend your whole forehead,
Cheek,
The upper lip,
Lower lip,
The space between the lips,
Inside of your right cheek,
Inside of the left cheek,
Tongue,
Chin,
Jaw,
Neck,
Right collarbone,
Left left side of the chest,
Abdomen,
Navel,
Right side of the waist,
Left side of the waist,
Right hip and the hip socket,
Right thigh,
Ankle,
Top of the foot,
Right big toe,
Second,
Third big toe,
Sole,
Heel,
Right calf muscle,
Back of the knee,
Back of the ankle,
Top of the foot,
Left big toe,
Second,
Third.
Steering your awareness to your left thumb,
The index finger,
Palm of your left hand,
Back of the hand,
Wrist,
Forearm,
Elbow,
The upper arm,
Left side of your back,
Tailbone,
Right side.
Steering your awareness to your right thumb,
Index,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
Little finger,
Palm,
Back of the hand,
Right wrist,
Forearm,
Elbow,
Upper arm,
Shoulder,
Armpit,
Back of the neck,
Back,
Whole torso,
Whole right leg and then begin to see yourself working focused on your today's most important task,
No matter how many others you might have that also need to be done.
How would you feel if you were giving all of yourself to this one task?
Think about all of the things that happen as a result of you being committed to this one task and as you see yourself immersed go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back telling yourself something encouraging,
Well done,
You're doing good and perhaps you might even change your perspective by saying to yourself I don't have to do it,
I get to work and progress towards a better life and if distractions come to check your phone,
Answer any messages with kindness remind yourself I can engage with that later and repeating your sankalpa my mind is clear and I know exactly what I need to do,
I am energized and ready to move forward with purpose and once you're ready gently start moving your toes,
Fingers,
Head from side to side inviting gratitude for your body that's going to be by your side today supporting you in everything you do,
Let's take a moment to appreciate that and go ahead and begin your task,
You've got this,
I hope this has inspired you to begin the day more mindfully with purpose,
Focus and clarity.
Namaste
