  Lisa Hopkins: Hey there.
• 0:27
  Lisa Hopkins: We all need to reset every now and then.
• 0:34
  Lisa Hopkins: It's perfectly natural to sometimes feel like things are a lot.
• 0:42
  Lisa Hopkins: Maybe your body feels tense or your mind a little scattered.
• 0:50
  Lisa Hopkins: Take this moment for yourself.
• 0:55
  Lisa Hopkins: Just a few minutes to reset.
• 1:02
  Lisa Hopkins: Wherever you are, just allow your body to feel supported.
• 1:08
  Lisa Hopkins: If you're sitting, feel the chair beneath you.
• 1:12
  Lisa Hopkins: If you're standing, feel your feet on the ground.
• 1:21
  Lisa Hopkins: Wherever you are, take a slow breath in through your nose.
• 1:28
  Lisa Hopkins: And a longer breath out through your mouth.
• 1:34
  Lisa Hopkins: Again, inhaling gently and exhaling slowly.
• 1:46
  Lisa Hopkins: Let that exhale be a signal to your body, an invitation to soften even just a little bit.
• 2:01
  Lisa Hopkins: Bring your attention to your shoulders.
• 2:05
  Lisa Hopkins: Notice if they've been holding.
• 2:11
  Lisa Hopkins: And without forcing, just invite them to drop.
• 2:21
  Lisa Hopkins: Sometimes it feels great just to roll them back.
• 2:27
  Lisa Hopkins: And then roll them forward.
• 2:32
  Lisa Hopkins: Or even hold them up tightly to your ears for three, two, one, and let go.
• 2:41
  Lisa Hopkins: Just release.
• 2:48
  Lisa Hopkins: Open and close your mouth and rotate your jaw.
• 2:56
  Lisa Hopkins: Allow it to unclench.
• 3:01
  Lisa Hopkins: Stick your tongue out wide.
• 3:05
  Lisa Hopkins: And then relax it, letting it rest in your mouth.
• 3:14
  Lisa Hopkins: Soften the space behind your eyes.
• 3:23
  Lisa Hopkins: Simply let go for a second.
• 3:33
  Lisa Hopkins: Take another breath in and a longer breath out.
• 3:50
  Lisa Hopkins: Notice anything that you're feeling.
• 3:55
  Lisa Hopkins: Your system might still feel activated, and that's okay.
• 4:16
  Lisa Hopkins: See if you can feel one place in your body that already feels neutral or even slightly at ease.
• 4:30
  Lisa Hopkins: Might be your hands or your legs.
• 4:36
  Lisa Hopkins: Your breath.
• 4:41
  Lisa Hopkins: Wherever it is, just let your attention rest there for a moment.
• 4:51
  Lisa Hopkins: And as you breathe, imagine that area gently expanding, not dramatically, just enough to remind your system that not everything is tense.
• 5:17
  Lisa Hopkins: Now if it feels okay, place one hand on your body, chest, stomach, head, wherever feels natural.
• 5:32
  Lisa Hopkins: Just that simple contact, intentional, and unattached.
• 5:47
  Lisa Hopkins: Take a breath in here, and as you exhale, feel the weight of your hand.
• 5:58
  Lisa Hopkins: A small anchor, a reminder you're here.
• 6:11
  Lisa Hopkins: Nothing is chasing you in this moment.
• 6:16
  Lisa Hopkins: Nothing needs to be solved right now.
• 6:25
  Lisa Hopkins: Let your breath return to its natural rhythm.
• 6:35
  Lisa Hopkins: No effort.
• 6:58
  Lisa Hopkins: Just notice now as you continue to breathe.
• 7:05
  Lisa Hopkins: Has anything shifted even slightly?
• 7:13
  Lisa Hopkins: A little more space, a little more grounding, a little less urgency.
• 7:37
  Lisa Hopkins: Take one more slow breath in and a steady breath out.
• 7:51
  Lisa Hopkins: When you're ready, gently bring your awareness back to the room.
• 7:59
  Lisa Hopkins: Knowing that you can return to this any time.
• 8:04
  Lisa Hopkins: Your system needs a reset.
• 8:19
  Lisa Hopkins: Namaste, my friend.
