Deep breath, friend. Slow even breaths. Take time today to focus on calm and peace. Close your door or your mind or your eyes. Whatever you need to do. With each inhale breathe in strength and calm. With each exhale release all the lies inside your head about who you. You’re incredible.
I’m glad you’re here.
Deep breath. Let yourself slow down. Take stock of each good thing as you breathe in calm. Friends, family, shelter, kindness, food, peace, puppies, music, down to the tiniest thing. Breathe in knowledge of each piece until you are fortified by mindfulness of the many good things in your life.
I’m glad you’re here.
Deep breath. With each inhale bring in peace. With each exhale let go of worry. Inhale calm. Exhale doubt. Inhale joy. Exhale pain. Let each breath release self-destruction into the floor. Be fortified by a new day. You are in control of today.
I’m glad you’re here.
Deep breath. You are balanced. You are calm. You are at peace. Deep breath. You are balance. You are calm. You are at peace. Deep breath. You are balanced. You are calm. You are at peace. Deep breath.
I’m glad you’re here.
Friend, there is rest. There is calm. There is peace. Breathe into those things. Let them inform your day. You are rested. You are calm. You are peaceful.
I’m glad you’re here.
Friend, let’s start with calming breaths. Focus on bringing in calming air. Focus on fueling your body with peace. With each calming breath remind yourself that you are good. With each calming breath remind yourself that you are valid. With each calming breath remind yourself that you are powerful. With each calming breath remind yourself that you are loved. With each calming breath you grow even more capable than you already are. You can do this.
I’m glad you’re here.
Oh, friend, deep breath. Some days just start out hard. Some of them end terribly. Many of them, lots of them, most of them are absolutely beautiful. Right down to their tiniest details. So, come on, slow, even breaths. Fill your lungs with peace and calm and strength, and breathe out all of that worry and fear and pain. Feel your body be rebuilt by good things, and each exhale takes away all of the bad. You can do this.
I’m glad you’re here.
Listen, I know it gets dark. I know how hard things can be. You’ve seen some terrible things. You’ve lived some terrible things. You’ve heard some terrible things. I know, and I am so sorry. Know that there is good. There are moments and seconds and minutes and days filled with joy and peace. There are people who love you. There are kindnesses. There are strangers who hold doors. There are children who say goofy things. There are puppies. There are flowers. There are good things. Don’t let yourself lose sight of those moments. Treasure them. Let them carry you through the badness. You can get through this.
I’m glad you’re here.
Deep breath. With each breath focus on bringing in peace and calm and contentment. Let your lungs fill with peace and calm and contentment. Let them populate your blood. Let that be what fuels you. You can do this.
I’m glad you’re here.
Remember, friend, there is kindness. There is peace. There is joy. There is hope. There is strength. There is beauty. If you do not see, be it.
I’m glad you’re here.
