Hello,
And welcome to your practice for choosing your life right now.
This session is a pause to help you step out of hesitation and into momentum.
It's an opportunity to practice saying a clear yes to yourself and what you want.
Not someday,
Not when conditions are perfect,
But right now.
Let's begin.
Relax your body into a comfortable seat and close your eyes.
As you invite the muscles in your body to soften,
Continue to reach the crown of your head upward so you are sitting up just as much as you are sitting down.
Roll your shoulders down and away from your ears to invite an ease of tension,
Yet very slightly bring your shoulder blades towards one another to open the front of your chest a little more,
Choosing a posture that reflects a readiness.
Settle into this moment with a deep breath in,
Filling your lungs with fresh air,
And then a long exhale out,
Releasing any of your other responsibilities in this moment.
Right now,
You are simply taking time for you.
You can tend to everyone and everything else after your own cup has been refilled.
This isn't just a moment to slow down.
It's time to come into alignment with the life you are ready to live.
There's something in your life that keeps resurfacing for you.
A direction,
A desire,
A change that's nudging you to listen,
But you haven't fully chosen it yet.
Choosing it would require you to own it.
So,
Ask yourself,
What am I already saying yes to in my mind,
But not in my actions?
Where am I delaying a decision I've already made internally?
Now,
Ask yourself,
If I said yes to this pull,
What would shift immediately?
What would I prioritize?
What would I stop making excuses for?
Notice what comes up.
There are so many reasons we might avoid moving towards a dream we want to live,
But regardless of why you may be holding back,
Keep this in mind.
Indecision keeps you in a perpetual state of longing,
And indecision is actually a decision in itself,
A decision to choose to wait.
Waiting is a choice.
Choosing to not step into the next chapter that you desire for yourself still shapes your life,
Even if it's just in subtle ways.
So right now,
Let's make a change,
And do something different than what we might have been doing by allowing hesitation to get the better of us.
Ask yourself,
What is one action I can take today that confirms my yes?
Not a plan,
Not a strategy,
Just a tiny move forward in the direction of the life you want to start living now.
Now begin to repeat this to yourself in your mind.
I am creating the life I want,
Starting now.
Now say these affirmations to yourself,
Or out loud if you choose.
I don't need 100% certainty to move forward with the life I choose.
I have the power to live my life the way that I choose to live.
I am choosing my life,
And I am creating the life I want,
Starting now.
Let those words land as alignments to what you are going to make happen for yourself.
You get to choose how you want to create your life,
Starting now.
Take another intentional breath in,
And exhale with a knowingness that you have already started the momentum,
Just by aligning to what you desire.
Feel your body sitting upright,
And know that you don't need to be extraordinarily brave.
You just need a willingness to say yes to yourself,
And your willingness can change everything.
Carry any clarity you received during your session with you,
And keep saying yes to the nudges from the life you're meant to be living.
Choosing your life doesn't have to happen all at once,
But it always begins right now.
When you're ready,
Start to move your body.
Stand up and stretch if that feels good for you.
Gently open your eyes and take a step forward.
You are creating the life you want,
Right now.
Thank you for taking your time to practice with me,
And I look forward to our next meditation together.
