Perhaps on the knees Notice the breath The last movement we want to do and Become aware of Maybe control a bit Is the movement of the breath Notice how the air is flowing in and out Through the nose And for the next five breaths send more Air more breath into the belly Allow the belly to move forward expand With every inhale Allow the belly to move back towards the Spine with your exhale without forcing It Just allow a natural expansion The natural taking up space Slow deep breaths in Slow deep breath out One more and that's five Slowly blink your eyes open And thank yourself for showing up for Making the time to practice And perhaps this is the beginning of a New routine in the morning in the Evening throughout the day Pick whatever movements you like from This video and from the other videos I Have that are just like this one And perhaps you can create your own 10-15 minute morning routine or evening Wind down routine so important to have Control Over the start of your day and the end
Of the day usually those are the things That you have control over And what happens throughout the day You can have a plan for that but Oftentimes things come up especially if You're working for someone and you have To commute and go to work and things Come up and things change but the Morning time The first hour after waking up and the The last hour before going to bed Usually you pretty much have a lot of Control over it so why not use that time To focus on you So that you decide how you start your Day and you decide how you end and close Out your day Thank you very much Hit subscribe hit like and share this Video with other people that you think Might benefit from this Again my name is Flo and I will see you In the next one much love and gratitude
