Hello, JLD here, and welcome to the Daily Refresh, where I'll share a quote to inspire the mind, gratitude to warm the soul, and guided breathing to energize the body. And remember, when you begin your day with the Daily Refresh, you're setting the stage for massive success. And today's quote is from Robert Collier. Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
Robert Collier. There's two books I love to recommend, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson and The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. They speak to the power of doing the small things right every single day and the massive results you'll have from that. And something to be grateful for that's fairly unique, how about your close friends?
I mean, I know we're grateful for them in an aerial perspective, but when's the last time you've really sat down and thought about one of your close friends or a few of your close friends, and here's a challenge for you today. Reach out to one of them, not just via a text or email, but call them, and if they don't answer, leave a voicemail and say, I just want you to know I'm grateful for you. Now take a few seconds and think of something unique in your life that you're grateful for. It will warm your soul.
And now it's time for guided breathing. We're going to follow the ancient practice of samavriti, which means equal breathing. This will reduce stress, increase focus, elevate your mood, and energize your body. So grab a seat and remember all breathing is through the nose, and we'll be breathing in for a count of four, out for a count of four, a total of five times, which will fully circulate amazing oxygen into your body.
We'll begin in three, two, one, inhale through the nose, two, three, four, exhale through the nose, two, three, four, inhale, two, three, four, exhale, two, three, four, inhale, two, three, four, exhale, two, three, four, inhale, two, three, four, exhale, two, three, four, inhale, two, three, four, exhale, two, three, four, relax. All five cycles are now complete. Your body is now fully energized with the life-giving power of oxygen. And congratulations, you've completed the Daily Refresh.
