Generosity | Mindful Motivation

Generosity is a powerful mindful motivation practice that shifts our focus from receiving to giving—not just gifts, but time, attention, and kindness.

We begin our practice of generosity by turning it inward.

What is one gift you can give to yourself right now?
Is it permission to rest?
Five minutes of quiet, unburdened time?
A moment of self-compassion for a mistake you made?

Breathe in, accepting this inner gift completely. This act of self-generosity is the key to genuine abundance.

Generosity.

Let's settle in and focus on our next theme for December.

Generosity.

This is a powerful practice that shifts our focus from receiving to giving.

Not just gifts,

But time,

Attention,

And kindness.

Take a deep breath in and a slow breath out,

Letting go of any expectations or pressures around the holiday season.

Feel yourself arrive right here,

Right now.

Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.

We will begin our practice of generosity by turning inward.

What is one gift you can give to yourself right now?

Is it permission to rest?

5 minutes of quiet,

Unburdened time.

A moment of self-compassion for a mistake you made.

Breathe in,

Accepting this inner gift completely.

This act of self-generosity is the key to genuine abundance.

Now,

Expand your awareness outward.

Think of a simple,

Non-material gift you can offer someone today.

Perhaps the gift of undivided attention in a conversation,

Or the gift of patience in traffic,

Or the gift of a sincere,

Warm smile.

Imagine offering that gift now.

As you feel the abundance that generosity creates,

Here is a quiet reflection.

To foster genuine generosity this week,

Where will you invest your energy and time?

A.

In self-care,

Prioritizing one non-negotiable act of rest or nourishment for yourself.

Or B.

In giving presence,

Putting your phone away during a meal or meeting to fully listen to a person.

Choose the one that resonates most and hold that intention gently.

Take a last deep breath in,

Gathering the sense of abundance,

And a slow releasing breath out,

Ready to share your light with others.

As you step forward,

Remember you are abundant,

You are kind,

And you are a source of light.

Thank you for practicing mindful motivation together.

Have a beautiful day.
