Transcript

Gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in.

And letting go anything that's holding you back from being right here,

Right now.

Feel yourself coming into this present moment.

Now,

Bring a gentle smile to your face and as you smile,

Really bring your attention to all the little muscles in your face that allow you to smile.

Feel those muscles with your awareness,

Just very,

Very gently.

And as you have this smile on your face,

Bring to mind a moment where you felt truly happy.

You were so,

So happy to be alive in this moment.

What were you doing?

Who were you with?

What values were being activated?

Now,

Reflect on what is one action you can take today to bring in these same feelings of happiness.

Let the answer come to you.

And when you're ready,

Put your hand on your heart and soundly repeat,

I am happy.

I am healthy.

I am whole.

Bringing that smile back to your face,

Taking a deep breath in and letting go,

Reminding yourself that you are happy.

You are healthy.

You are whole.

When you're ready,

You can slowly wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes and bring this sense of happiness with you throughout your day.
