    [Warm, inviting tone]

    Hey there, welcome to today's practice. I'm glad you've carved out this moment for yourself—especially on a day that might already feel crowded with deadlines, messages, and endless to-do lists.

    [PAUSE]

    I know today, January 12th, can feel like a complex juggling act. Maybe you're facing a project that seems overwhelming, or you're feeling that familiar tension between what you want to accomplish and what actually feels possible. [PAUSE]

    Let's take a moment to ground ourselves. Find a comfortable position—whether you're at your desk, in a quiet corner, or stealing a brief moment between meetings. [PAUSE]

    Close your eyes if that feels comfortable. If not, just soften your gaze. [PAUSE]

    Begin by taking three deliberate breaths. Not forced, but intentional. Like waves gently rolling in and out, your breath can be a natural rhythm that connects you to this present moment. [PAUSE]

    Imagine your breath as a gentle stream of energy, washing away the mental clutter. Each inhale brings clarity, each exhale releases unnecessary tension. [PAUSE]

    Now, I want to introduce a practice I call the "Three-Point Focus Reset." It's designed to help you reclaim your productivity without adding more pressure.

    First point: Scan your body. Where are you holding tension? Maybe it's your shoulders, your jaw, your lower back. [PAUSE] Just notice, without judgment. Like a curious friend observing, not criticizing.

    Second point: Identify one primary intention for the next few hours. Not a massive goal, but a clear, achievable focus. Maybe it's completing a specific task, or bringing genuine presence to your next meeting. [PAUSE]

    Third point: Create a small, kind boundary. This might mean silencing notifications for the next hour, or giving yourself permission to say "not right now" to a non-urgent request. [PAUSE]

    Breathe into these three points. Feel how they're interconnected—body, intention, boundary. [PAUSE]

    As we close, remember: Mindfulness isn't about perfection. It's about returning, again and again, to what matters most.

    Take one more deep breath. [PAUSE]

    When you're ready, slowly open your eyes. Carry this sense of spaciousness and intention into your day.

    You've got this. [Gentle smile in voice]

    [END]
