We hold on so tightly to the outcomes that we want.

Our fingers squeeze around them and our hold locks into place. Our vision hones in on what's within our grip and suddenly everything else is invisible. We wait and we watch, counting the moments as we stare, completely oblivious to anything else around us.

What we don't realize is that we're suffocating our desires the tighter we hold and we become blind to the manifestations of our dreams that aren't born inside of our fists. So dream, sweet one. Visualize and hope and take action every day but peel back those fingers

and loosen that grip. Widen your gaze and detach from the outcome so creativity can flow and you can breathe. Breathe now, pulling the air deep into you as it fills you up and then release as you exhale all that air out. Breathe in deep again

expanding your belly and chest, gathering up those details, thoughts and worries, and then releasing them all as you breathe out. Now bring your breathing to a soft, easy rhythm and be here for a bit. One with the movement of your body, one with the openness of your mind, holding on tightly,

to the outcome we want. We'll not ensure we get it, but it will steal our attention, intensify our emotions, and cause our minds to obsess. So imagine your hand opening gently on the outcomes it desperately holds. Watch your fingers slowly peeling back

Watch those petals of desire unfurl and expand in your open palm. Breathe from the pressure. Breathe to breathe. Breathe here with them. Finding a gentle rhythm that nourishes. Feel the soft breeze. Kiss your face and dance with the colorful petals in your open hand. Slowly

and beautifully the petals ride the waves of the breeze as they float away in all directions free to land where they're meant to be and here you are light and peaceful relaxed and calm surrender to the magic of the petals that will dance and spin

until they're ready to land. Namaste, beautiful.
