Welcome to this guided meditation.
Today we will explore the vastness of our true capacity and embrace the wisdom of challenging ourselves beyond our perceived and often self-imposed limits.
Let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down,
And then gently close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in,
Filling your lungs completely,
And then slowly exhale,
Releasing any tension with your breath.
Let your body relax and your mind begin to quiet.
Follow your breathing for a few moments.
We often assume our capacity is far below what it truly is.
Our minds create imagined boundaries and limits that are not really representative of what we're truly capable of.
In the next few minutes,
We will break through these perceived barriers.
Take a moment to set an intention.
Choose a goal or a dream that feels out of reach or maybe even impossible.
Picture this goal clearly in your mind.
Spend a few moments trying to see this goal as clearly as you can.
If you get distracted,
Just return to your breath.
Now see yourself taking the first step towards the goal.
Then see yourself actually accomplishing it.
Sit with the feeling of excitement and energy that comes with pushing beyond your limits.
By deliberately overestimating our abilities,
We align closer to our true limits.
Imagine all of the resources within you rising to meet this challenge.
Feel your confidence grow as you take each step forward.
Reflect on the words of Irma Bombeck,
When I stand before God at the end of my life,
I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say,
I used everything you gave me.
Think about what this means.
Only by setting extraordinary goals can we achieve extraordinary things.
Even if we struggle in life,
We are deeply blessed just to be living.
It is our job to make use of everything we've been given,
To try our best and give our all during the limited time we have on this earth.
Realize yourself at the end of your life,
Looking back with a sense of fulfillment and pride.
You have used every ounce of your talent,
Every gift,
Every bit of potential.
There is nothing left unused,
Nothing left untried.
Feel the joy and satisfaction of knowing you have truly pushed yourself in this life.
This is your true capacity,
Far greater than you've previously imagined.
Take a few moments to just follow the breath,
Allowing this sense of excited,
Gratitude-driven motivation to fill you completely.
As we come to the end of this meditation,
Take one more deep breath in and exhale slowly.
Gently bring your awareness back to your surroundings and back to your body.
When you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Carry this sense of expanded capacity with you throughout your day.
Remember you are capable of more than you realize.
Embrace challenges,
Set impossible bars and use every bit of talent you have been given.
