Take a comfortable seat.

Find a position in which you can relax.

Be yourself.

Meet yourself where you are. Become aware of your body and your breath.

As thoughts arise or distractions come that tempt to pull you out of focus,

choose to redirect your attention back to your breath.

And if it's comfortable for you, go ahead and close your eyes.

Feel your body breathing.

As you inhale, notice how the chest lifts and expands.

As you exhale, feel the body softening, releasing, letting go.

Much like the breath, as it comes and goes.

Change is simultaneously a moving forward into the new and a letting go of the old.

New Year's is a great opportunity to start fresh. But the truth is every moment, every breath,

is another chance to begin again.

You're always in a cycle of creation and letting go.

Feel this within you. As you breathe in, receive, receive the breath, the present moment, a sense of possibility.

As you breathe out, let go, loosen your grip, surrender. New beginnings are powerful opportunities for growth and change, but in order to embrace

something new, we have to first let go.

We have to let go of the mindsets that bind us to where we are,

because it was yesterday's mentality that brought you here today.

As you sit here with your breath, bring to mind one change that you would like to make

in your life.
