Preparing For The Morning (With A Dash Of Humor)

Alright,

You're here,

You're breathing,

And that my friend is already a win.

Take a deep breath in through your nose.

Let it out like you're releasing yesterday's nonsense.

There you go,

Gone.

One more big inhale,

Fill your belly.

And exhale and let your shoulders drop like you're putting down a bag of bricks.

There we go,

That's better.

Wiggle your toes a little,

Feel your feet on the ground.

That's the earth holding you up like a loyal best friend,

Even if you've forgotten to text her back.

Let your spine grow tall,

Not stiff,

Just king energy or queen energy.

Chin slightly lifted because yes,

You do have something to offer today.

And I'd like you to imagine that you're wearing an invisible cloak.

Not for hiding,

But for radiating.

Confidence,

Kindness,

And a hint of don't mess with me.

Wherever you walk today,

This cloak goes with you.

People might not see it,

But they'll feel it,

Because you're showing up grounded,

Present,

And full of quiet power.

You've got this,

And yes,

Even before coffee.

Repeat in your mind,

Or whisper if no one's listening,

Or even if they are,

I'm awake,

I'm alive,

And I'm ready to thrive.

I trust myself to handle whatever comes my way.

I don't have to do everything,

Just the next right thing.

My energy is valuable,

And I choose where it goes.

I'm showing up today with heart,

Humor,

And a little sparkle.

And before we end this,

Take one more deep breath in,

And sigh it out like you're exhaling self-doubt.

Because nobody needs that today.

Open your eyes,

Stretch if you need to,

And go do today like it's lucky to have you in it,

Because it is.

I trust myself to handle whatever comes my way.

I don't have to do everything,

Just the next right thing.

My energy is valuable,

And I choose where it goes.

I'm showing up today with heart,

Humor,

And a little sparkle.
