Let's take a long, deep breath.

I woke up in a bad mood this morning.

It happens from time to time.

It's hard to back into why it happens sometimes.

You just get that feeling inside.

Annoyed.

Grouchy.

For some people, it happens every day they wake up.

For some people, it happens rarely.

For me, it happens fairly rarely now, thankfully.

But when it happens, you know it.

So does everyone around you.

On those mornings, I love knowing I’m one just Shift away from feeling at peace.

When I'm grouchy, I usually pick a slightly longer Shift to get back to good.

Hopefully, you can get all the way to ‘great’ in a few minutes.

At least, you can shift enough to get on with enjoying your day.

For me, the key is to spend some time recognizing myself as an aspect of the miracle of life.

We are each an aspect of right now — this unique moment.

We are not separate.

We’re not here to fight life.

We’re not here to fight the day.

Struggle — that’s how my recent morning felt though.

So, I did a Shift.

It worked.

Now, I want to do a Shift with you focused on shifting out of feeling grouchy in the morning.

A Shift for when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed…

Take a long, deep breath.

—

—

—

Become aware that in a few minutes you’ll be feeling better then you are right now.

—

—

—

Right now, you may have a feeling inside you that's angsty, and angry, and frustrated.

—

—

—

Close your eyes for this Shift, if they're not yet closed.

If you typically read Shifts, try tapping ‘Play’ above and listening today.

—

—

—

Sink into the space you're either sitting or lying down in.

—

—

—

Allow your entire body to relax.

—

—

—

Relax all your muscles.

—

—

Relax from your shoulders and neck on down.

—

—

Sink into your seat.

—

—

As you let go of all that tension, let go of all the thoughts flowing in your head too.

—

—

—

Let go of any thoughts about what you are annoyed by.

—

—

—

Let go of any thoughts that you aren't even recognizing are there, but that may be contributing to your negative-tinged state of mind and body.

—

—

—

Breathe in and just release them all.

—

—

—

Allow any thoughts that enter your mind for the next few minutes to flow through.

—

—

Observe them.

—

—

Notice them.

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

Now, let them go.

—

—

—

—

—

—

For the next few minutes, we are presence together.

We are life.

—

—

Set the intention to come further into the present moment now.

—

—

Keep all of your attention in the present moment.

—

—

All of your feeling attention is right here in the present moment.

—

—

Your body is feeling life, without interruption now.

—

—

Your mind is clearing.

—

—

You’re filling with silence.

—

—

Embedded in presence.

—

—

Your mind and body are connecting to the rest of life.

—

—

—

—

—

Feel life on your skin now.

—

—

Feel the air on your hands.

—

—

Feel your head tingling.

—

—

—

—

—

Feel your whole body tingling with life.

—

—

—

Feel and listen with me for 20 seconds.

100% of your attention listening to life now.

—

—

—

—

—

Feeling life.

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

Perfect.

Now, take note.

Notice the difference of the feeling inside your brain and body right now.

—

—

—

You've given yourself a shift into the present moment.

—

—

Let's relax for another 20 seconds together.

—

—

Just being life.

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

—

Embedded in life.

—

—

—

—

Knowing yourself as an aspect of life.

—

—

—

—

30 trillion buzzing cells.

—

—

—

—

Relaxing.

—

—

—

Being.

—

—

—

—

Being you.

—

—

—

—

—

Perfect.

Start coming out of deep silence now, but remain embedded in presence.

Stay embedded in silence as you see the next step of your day unfolding in your mind’s eye.

—

—

—

Allow thoughts or images of whatever is next in your day to arise within you.

—

—

—

—

—

—

Focus intentionally on whatever is next for you today.

—

—

—

Is there a ‘doing’ that's next for you today?

Is there something that you plan to engage with?

Or, are you going to just stay in presence for a while?

Whatever it is, set the intention to do it fully.

—

—

—

What's that next step that you're going to engage with?

—

—

—

Remain fully presence as you transition from your Shift and back to your outer life now.

—

—

—

We're going to keep the presence that has subsumed our minds and bodies with us for the rest of today.

—

—

—

Stillness is the background of your day.

—

—

—

Stillness is the background of your entire day.

—

—

—

Bring that intention to your next task.

—

—

—

Your intention is to remain present with life during your next task.

—

—

—

Bring full attention to it.

—

—

—

What is that next task for you?

Whether it's getting up and making breakfast, or getting to your computer and working on something, or going for a workout, or being with your family, or checking that next step off your list that needs to get done today — see your life’s next step in your mind's eye right now.

—

—

See yourself engaging with your next step — bringing your full presence to it.

—

—

—

—

Purpose flows through presence.

—

—

—

Purpose flows from presence.

—

—

—

See your next step with increasing clarity now.

—

—

—

Feel it.

—

—

Attach to it.

—

—

Become it.

—

—

—

—

—

Nice.

Open your eyes when you're ready and get on with engaging your day in peace :)

Have a great one.

Stay present.

Talk to you soon,

Sean
