It was a beautiful morning, and Emily let the breeze blow through her hair as she walked to the office. The air was fresh and invigorating, the sounds of birdsong filled her ears. She felt a lightness in her step.

She arrived at the office early, making sure to get to her desk and organize her papers. She wanted to present a clear picture, and took her time to make sure she was ready to go.

She glanced at the notes she had made, feeling confident and collected. There was no racing heart, no sweaty palms. She felt centered and calm, ready to face the day.
