Take a seat.

What are you waiting to know before you let yourself settle? Name the uncertainty, then notice what remains within your control today.

Notice where your attention has been going. Consider what has been receiving too much of it, and what may need a little more care.

Let your body meet the seat beneath you. Take one slower breath, release your shoulders and notice the room around you.

Listen to the tone you have been using with yourself. Choose words that are accurate, fair and suitable for the situation.

Name five things you can see, four you can feel, three you can hear, two you can smell and one you can taste.

A useful idea can give language to an experience. Choose one thought to carry with you, rather than trying to absorb everything at once.

Some feelings need room before they need answers. Let the feeling have a name and notice what the loss, change or disappointment means to you.

You can leave with a thought, return later or speak with someone. Readiness can mean taking one honest next step.
