Cognitive Sharpening

Sit tall. Eyes soft or closed. Breathe in energy. Breathe out fog. Your mind is a sharp instrument. Today we polish it. Count backwards from twenty by twos. Twenty. Eighteen. Sixteen. Continue silently to zero. Now name five colors as fast as you can, in your mind. Now name five things you can hear right now. Feel your mind waking. Repeat: my thinking is clear. My focus is sharp. I process quickly and accurately. Let the gamma waves synchronize your neurons. Rest in alert stillness. Ready for anything.
