It centers worth, calms the nervous system, and gives permission to be present with what already is.

1. Sit comfortably and take three slow breaths.
2. On the first exhale, say silently or aloud: "I am enough."
3. On the second, say: "My effort is enough."
4. On the third, say: "This moment is enough."
5. Set a small intention for the dayone kind thing you'll do for yourself.
