To begin, I'd like you to just Open your eyes if they're not already open and just look around you and just practice observing your surroundings for just a second.

Yes, there probably is something you would shift or change about your surroundings, but just observe all of that.

And just for the moment, practice and pretend if you have to that everything around you is kind of okay just where it is.

And then would you kind of look at your physical body and do the same thing? Observe it.

And would you start to notice your interior world? This is the world of your body's emotional state, your mental state, any comfort or discomfort in your physical body, and your awareness and attention, your energy.

And again, it's almost, it's so hard to stay out of kind of, oh, I should fix this or fix that, or I'm in a meditation, so I should be in a good mood.

You might have to convince yourself for a moment that it's OK to be right where you're at.

Would you let your mind slow down and just come to a resting place in this meditation? Just be an observation.
