Visual Habit

In this audio, listeners can expect a short, guided meditation with a focus on forming new, positive habits. In this session, the listeners will be guided through a visualization technique, starting with settling the body and tuning into the breath. From here, the listener is invited to visualize themselves performing a positive habit while focusing on how that feels for them. After visualizing that same feeling across different points of time, the session ends with a few deep breaths.

The science of tiny shifts. Meditation. So in the session we looked at different ways in which you can bring about tiny habits into your life that over time really create big impacts and I just want you to settle now Tune into your breath. Make sure your chest is open, Your shoulders are back and down. And then let's just start by feeling your feet on the floor. The connection with the ground. And your body as it sits on the chair, Really feeling into that sensation. That makes us feel a little bit grounded. And then just noticing your breath coming in and out. Just getting a sense of that inflation and deflation of your body as it fills up with air and then exhales. And if you're happy, Just bringing your eyes to a close or lowering your gaze. Just bringing to mind a habit that you'd really like to bring about in your life. I want you to get a visual of you actually doing that habit. So rather than something you want to do less of, Let's focus on something positive that you want to do more of. So just bringing this visual into your mind. What can you see? What can you hear? How does it make you feel? Doing this positive habit. And that's the really strong bit about this visualization, Actually getting a sense of how that's going to make you feel. So just keep going with that, Whether it's moving or still. And then moving forward in time to. . . Having done this habit and feeling pleased with yourself. Getting that sense of Victory! Of success, Achievement. And now I want you to fast forward a little bit more. Into next week or next month or in six months time where you've really embedded this habit into your life. See yourself. In your mind's eye, What changes have occurred? What are people saying to you perhaps? And most importantly, How does it make you feel? So really tuning into that now. And then really filling up yourself with that feeling so amplifying that feeling it could be a feeling of success or it could be happiness or peace or contentment, Whatever it is for you, Just allowing it to feel really big in your body. And as we come to the end of the practice, I just want you to take a little snapshot, As if it's like a Polaroid for feelings, And then you can take that with you into your life. It's going to encourage you to keep going with this habit, Perhaps when you're not feeling so much like doing it. Okay, So just let's finish with just a couple of bigger breaths in, Filling up your belly, Filling up your lower lungs. Nice big exhale, And then gently opening your eyes. Well done.
