🌞 Hey’all - Good morning! Let’s breeze into Friday with joy and a glow.

It’s Friday, the perfect day to sprinkle some joy into your circle. Ready to start a ripple of good vibes?

Join the Gratitude Bounce Game: send a simple, heartfelt message “Thank you for being you!” to someone who makes your world better. It could be a friend, a family member, or even a teammate who showed up this week. Then gently challenge them to bounce that gratitude to someone else. One tiny message can create a chain reaction of smiles, warmth, and connection.

Let’s build a web of appreciation, one thank-you at a time. Who will you bounce your gratitude to first? Let it travel far and wide because kindness is contagious, especially on a Friday. 💛

Ritual of the Week

The 5-4-3-2-1 Glow Reset: Friday (Refreshed)

Today, we deepen the magic of yesterday’s five-sense ritual - not by adding more, but by tuning in more intentionally. Begin with the Affirmation Glow: place your hand on your heart, breathe in for 4, out for 6, and whisper: “I glow with clarity and vibrant energy.”

Now, for your senses:

🙆‍♂️ Five Sights + Reach (30 sec): Spot 5 things around you. As you do, stretch both arms overhead in a wide “Y” shape expanding your vision and lifting your energy.

✋ Four Touches + Rock (30 sec): Feel 4 textures near you. With each touch, gently sway side to side, letting go of any tension.

🎶 Three Sounds + Hum (30 sec): Listen carefully for 3 sounds, then hum a soft note after each, letting your voice dissolve any stress.

🍵 Two Scents + Smile (30 sec): Take in 2 calming scents like your tea, a candle, or fresh air and smile, warming your face with presence.

🍯 One Taste + Savor (30 sec): Sip something slowly, noticing a single flavor fully.

😌Victory Breath (10 sec): Inhale clarity, exhale blur with a soft “ahh.”

Return to this mini reset any time you need a calm, clear boost.
