Step back. Tense your shoulders.

Hold for a count of 7 then release them.

Scrunch up your shoulders and arms up towards your chin.

Hold for a 7 count, then release.

Gently bow your back forwards

Gently bow your back backwards

Return to standing up right.

Close your hands into fists as you reach towards the sky

Lower arms and release your fists.

Begin to notice your breathing.

Take three deep breaths and hold each one for a count of 3

In between inhaling, exhale slowly until the exhale is complete.

Feel your physical being in this space.

Marvel at how resilient your physical being really is.

Find space for quiet today.

Invite God to be with you.

See God being with you.

What does that look like? See it? See it!

What does it feel like to have God be with you.

Welcome Him/Her to be with and stay with you.

Begin taking time to welcome God to do these things throughout today.

God to enfold me

God to surround me

God in my thinking

God in my words

God in my sleeping

And in my waking

God in my watching

God in my hopes

God in my life

God in my lips

God in my heart and my soul

In my sufficing

And in my slumber

In my eternal and living soul

(God to Enfold Me: Words and Music: John Michael Talbot)

Rest as yesterday’s weight continues.
