Calm is Your Superpower
/
Mindfulness doesn’t have to be complicated.
You can find your own best practices for how to move slowly and be present.
You can become curious and allow the process to unfold naturally.
How does it feel to take one deep breath?
How does the air on your skin feel?
How would it feel to witness this moment with the curiosity and wonder of a child?
Say it with me: I trust this moment and all it has to offer me.
We can shift our view of stress. We can create a new perspective.
Notice what's happening now.
Adapt your physical posture and your breath pattern. Stabilize.
Let any tension or discomfort pass over you like a wave. Let it subside. Sit in the quiet, in the stillness.
As you reflect, begin to see that you are OK now. You always have been.
Even in the most stressful times, you can find inner peace.
Are you at your breaking point? Are you past it?
