From the book

Reflection Pause: Waking Up Each Morning

Julie prints this at the end of the chapter. It is here in her words, unedited.

  1. Is there a practice of gratitude that you do or could implement to honor the moment you awaken each day?
  2. What might you do to bring awareness to when you take that first breath?
  3. What is a personal blessing or mantra you might state when waking up and returning your soul to your physical body each day?
