Relaxation for Today

Relaxation for Today

by Jeannine Carroll

Scoot all the way back in your chair and let yourself begin to relax. Place your hands on either side of your navel (fingertips toward the navel) and as you breathe in slowly through your nose you will feel your hands rise. Exhale through your mouth and begin to feel yourself relax as your hands push towards your spine (elbows come forward). Breathe slowly, in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Your breaths come and go like waves on the seashore.

Today you have challenged yourself as you've tried new things and you know that with challenge comes change. You will begin to notice that it's easier to move about and that each day, in many ways, your life is improving. You'll notice that you are regaining some of your flexibility and strength.

~Since you know that what you think about, you become, you fill your mind with positive thoughts and attitudes.

~You love life and begin each day with hope and enthusiasm! People are drawn to your healthy vitality!

~You like yourself and feel good about who you are. You can accept yourself without having to be perfect.

~You feel good and strong. You take care of yourself by exercising regularly. You allow yourself to have a lean, healthy, vibrant body.

~You are a kind and compassionate person who can be a good friend to others.
