Let's begin by finding a comfortable and quiet space where you can sit or lie down without interruption.
Allow yourself a few moments to settle in,
Adjusting your position as needed to find a sense of ease.
Gently close your eyes or lower your gaze,
Whichever feels more comfortable.
Take a slightly deeper breath in,
Filling your lungs completely,
And hold it just for a moment at the top.
As you exhale,
Imagine releasing any tension or stress you're holding onto.
With each inhalation,
Draw in strength and clarity.
With each exhalation,
Let go of doubt and hesitation.
Feel the surface beneath you supporting your weight,
Grounding you.
Imagine roots growing from your body into the ground,
Anchoring you firmly to the earth.
These roots symbolise your commitment to your decision,
Your strength and your resolve.
It's time to set an intention.
In your mind's eye,
Envision the habit or challenge that you're facing.
See it clearly,
Without judgement,
Simply acknowledging its presence in your life.
Now gently,
Set an intention to remain strong and committed in your decision to change this aspect of your life.
This intention is a seed that you're planting in fertile soil,
Nurtured by your determination and willpower.
Now imagine a light within you,
Located in your heart or core,
Representing your inner strength and determination.
With every breath,
See this light growing brighter and stronger,
Illuminating your entire being.
This light is your resilience,
Your courage and your steadfastness in the face of doubt or opposition.
Now visualise scenarios where you're challenged or questioned about your decision.
See yourself responding calmly and confidently,
Rooted in your conviction.
With each scenario,
Imagine the light within you growing even brighter,
Reinforcing your resolve.
Acknowledge that while there may be voices of doubt,
There is also support around you,
Seen or unseen.
Imagine drawing on this support,
Feeling it bolster your resolve.
It could come from friends,
Family,
A higher power or the universe itself.
Feel this support as a protective layer around you,
Strengthening your commitment.
Really imagine this support as a beautiful protective layer around you,
Strengthening your commitment.
Now silently repeat affirmations that resonate with your journey.
Those affirmations may be similar to these.
I am strong and capable of overcoming any challenge.
My decision is rooted in deep awareness and understanding of my needs.
I gracefully accept support and release any negativity.
Every step I take is a step towards a healthier,
Happier me.
Now slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Notice the surface beneath you,
Supporting you,
The air against your skin and any sounds around you.
Take a few deep breaths,
Feeling grounded and centred in your strength,
In your decision.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Carrying with you the sense of strength and clarity you've cultivated.
Remember this meditation can be revisited whenever you need a reminder of your strength,
A boost in your conviction or simply a moment of peace amid the challenges of change.
Be gentle with yourself.
