Before the day picks up
Try this check-in before you get out of bed.
Take a brief pause to notice your body, name a feeling, and choose how you want to begin.
Try the exerciseA short pause. One manageable next step.
Some mornings start with a list of things you should do. Checking in first gives you a moment to consider what is realistic today.
Try it now
Notice one thing at a time.
One sensation in your body.
Notice warmth, cool air, the pillow, or the weight of the blanket. You do not need to change anything.
One emotion.
Use a simple word: curious, tired, hopeful, uneasy. More than one feeling can be present.
One realistic intention.
Choose something you can practice today, such as taking a pause before you reply or making time for lunch.
Keep the intention small enough to return to during an ordinary day.
