Welcome to a new day.
Let's prepare you to start and move forward.
Let's take a moment to recognize your healing capacity.
Let's take a moment to recognize your leading capacity.
And let's take a moment to recognize your loving capacity.
Not only what you hold for others,
But for yourself.
Find a comfortable,
Quiet place for your mind to settle.
And settle.
Slowly relax your eyes and let them shut.
Take a deep breath in.
And take a deep breath out.
Let your jaw loosen,
Your lips part,
Your tongue relax.
And take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out.
Let your shoulders relax and soften slowly.
Breathe.
And relax.
Let your hips and back fall into whatever is supporting you.
Take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out.
This is your time.
Time you've taken for yourself.
You are important.
You matter.
And you must take this time to come first before you can go and serve others.
Connect with the breath.
Take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out.
Today will be a good day.
You don't have to take on the stress of the patients.
You don't have to take on the stress of the families.
You do not have to know all the answers.
Take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out.
You don't have to be perfect.
You don't have to fix anyone.
Take a deep breath in.
And take a deep breath out.
There is no perfect way to do the work.
Today we feel ourselves through the work.
Take a deep breath in.
Take a deep breath out.
Let's imagine a ball of light.
A bright ball.
A warm ball of light right in the center of your heart.
I want you to breathe right into that ball.
A deep breath in.
And a deep breath out.
You were born with this light.
And you'll always possess it.
Take a deep breath in.
And take a deep breath out.
You can return to this light anytime that you want.
It will never run out.
Take a deep breath in.
And take a deep breath out.
This light is here to energize you.
To center you.
To guide you.
This light is your breath.
Take a deep breath in.
And take a deep breath out.
Continue to breathe.
And know your breath in.
And know your breath out.
Let the tone start to take hold.
And if your mind wanders as it should.
And it's okay for it to wander.
Gently bring it back to knowing you're breathing in.
And I know I'm breathing out.
Gently bring it back to knowing you're breathing out.
Gently bring it back to knowing you're breathing out.
Gently bring it back to knowing you're breathing out.
Repeat these words.
Today will be a good day.
Today will be a good day.
Today will be a good day.
It will have its ups and its downs.
But it will always remain a good day.
