Morning Guided Meditation With Positive Affirmations

Good morning.

It's Tuesday, November seventeenth.

Tuesday is a funny day.

Monday's shock has worn off.

The weekend still feels far away.

A good day to set the tone.

Before anyone else sets it for you.

Get settled.

Sit up if you can.

Let your hands rest on your legs.

Today we'll practice a few words.

Words worth hearing in your own head.

All you have to do is listen.

Then say them back.

Out loud, or silently.

First, an even breath.

Same length in as out.

Breathe in for four...

two...

three...

four.

And out for four...

two...

three...

four.

In again for four.

Smooth and easy.

Out for four.

Nice and level.

One more.

In...

And out...

Like a metronome on a piano.

Tick, and tock.

Steady.

Keep that rhythm going quietly.

You don't need to count anymore.

Here's something about the voice in your head.

It learned most of what it says.

From teachers.

From a coach.

From that one comment years ago.

Which means it can learn new things.

It just needs to hear them often.

So let's give it something good.

I'll say a line.

Then you say it back.

It's okay if it feels silly.

Most people feel silly the first time.

Here's the first one.

I am calm.

Say it back to yourself.

I am calm.

Notice where you feel it.

Maybe your belly softens a bit.

The next one.

I am focused.

Say it slowly.

I am focused.

Picture the first thing on today's list.

Just that one thing.

Nothing after it yet.

Here's another.

I am ready for today.

Say it like you'd tell a friend.

I am ready for today.

Ready doesn't mean perfect.

It means you'll show up.

And the last one.

I can handle what comes.

Let it land.

I can handle what comes.

Maybe a part of you argues.

Sure you can, it says.

That's fine.

Let it talk.

Say the words anyway.

Belief usually shows up later.

After the words have been said a while.

Now let the words echo on their own.

You don't have to push them.

Calm...

and ready.

Like a song from the car radio.

Still playing softly in your head.

Long after you parked.

You might catch yourself humming them later.

While you wait for the microwave.

That's a good sign.

Let the words sink down.

Past your head.

Into your chest.

Into your hands.

Into your feet on the floor.

Rest there.

Nothing to repeat now.

The words did their part.

Now you can just sit.

Warm, and a little more sure.

The birds are still going outside.

Let them fill the quiet.

Begin to come back.

Feel the chair under you.

Roll your shoulders back.

Lift your chin a little.

One steady breath in...

And out.

Now pick your favorite line.

The one that felt best to say.

Keep it in your pocket today.

Before each big task...

a meeting, or a hard phone call...

say it once in your head.

Take a breath first.

Then let the words go ahead of you.

That's all.

One line before you Open start.

your eyes when You've you're ready.

got this Tuesday.
