There’s something sacred about the first breath you notice in the morning. Not just the one your body takes to wake up — but the one you take intentionally. The kind where your shoulders drop, your jaw unclenches, and your spirit says, “I’m ready — or at least willing — to start.”
Too often, we race into the day. The alarms. The expectations. The to-do lists screaming for our attention before our feet hit the floor. But today — I’m inviting you to do something bold.
Pause.
Breathe deep.
Then rise.
🌿 What Does It Mean to “Rise”?
Let’s be honest — “rising” gets romanticized. It sounds poetic and powerful, like some grand act of success. But here’s the truth:
👉 Rising is not always loud.
Rising is not always visible.
Rising is not always fast.
Sometimes, rising looks like making your bed.
Sometimes, it’s choosing water over scrolling.
Sometimes, it’s whispering, “I’m enough,” even when doubt tries to shout over it.
Today, rising might mean finally sending that message you’ve been avoiding.
Or letting yourself rest without guilt.
Or holding space for joy when your mind is wired for worry.
💛 Rising is deeply personal. And today — it’s yours.
✍️ Guided Journaling: Let This Be Your Breathwork on Paper
Open your journal. Pour some tea or coffee. Find a quiet corner. And ask yourself the following:
- 1. 🌬️ What am I carrying that I no longer need?
(This could be guilt, someone else's opinion, yesterday’s anxiety, or your inner perfectionist.)
- 2. 🌄 What does "rising" feel like for me today — emotionally, spiritually, physically?
(Write without editing. Let the words flow, even if they don’t make sense yet.)
- 3. Where do I want to rise to?
(Is it a mindset shift? A goal? A boundary? Visualize the next version of yourself.)
- 4. 💬 What words or affirmations can guide me today?
Examples:
-
“I rise with clarity, not chaos.”
-
“This breath is my beginning.”
-
“Even slow steps count.”
💡 Rosetta G’s Coaching Insight:
When we breathe deep, we interrupt autopilot. We remind our bodies that we’re not just surviving — we’re choosing. Choosing awareness. Choosing softness. Choosing new energy.
And in that space between inhale and exhale — something changes.
You realize you don’t have to prove anything today.
You just have to rise.
Whether your version of rising today is bold or quiet, massive or microscopic, it matters. It counts. Because YOU count.
🌸 One Last Thought to Carry:
“Today is mine to rise. I don’t have to rise like her, or them, or yesterday’s version of me. I just have to rise like me — and that is enough.”
