Transcript

Welcome to this meditation.

Settle into a comfortable position and let your breath slow down.

Feel the weight of your body steady and grounded beneath you.

Allow your attention to soften as you arrive fully into this moment without needing to do anything more than simply be here.

Begin by bringing to mind the feeling of being motivated.

Not the pressure to achieve,

But the quiet spark that once made something feel meaningful to you.

Notice what arises.

It may be faint or unclear and that's okay.

Let the memory of that spark hover gently in your awareness.

Now think of an area in your life where your motivation has felt low or scattered.

Observe it without judgment.

See the fatigue,

The resistance,

The doubt.

Acknowledge that these feelings are part of being human,

Not a sign of failure.

Notice how naming them allows you to loosen slightly.

Invite in a small sense of curiosity.

Ask yourself,

What would one tiny step forward look like?

Not a grand plan or a complete solution,

Just a single manageable action.

Feel how your body responds to this question.

You may sense a little openness or relief or even stillness.

Whatever appears is enough.

Bring your attention now back to your breath.

Imagine it clearing a gentle path through the noise,

Each inhale creating space,

Each exhale releasing the weight of expectations.

Allow yourself to reconnect with the part of you that wants to grow,

Even if quietly.

Hold this awareness with kindness.

Motivation doesn't always arrive with energy.

Sometimes it comes as a quiet willingness to begin again.

Let that truth settle in you.

Take one more deep breath.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes,

Carrying this sense of gentle forward momentum with you.
