Hope.
Welcome to our next December Mindful Motivation Practice,
Focused on the theme of hope.
As the darkest day of the year approaches,
We cultivate hope,
Light and joy that resides within us,
An inexhaustible inner source.
Take a deep breath in and a slow breath out.
Feel the earth supporting you,
Grounding you in this moment of quiet.
Feel yourself arrive right here,
Right now.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Imagine the darkness of the winter outside,
But feel the incredible contrast of the warm,
Steady light that glows in your core.
It might be centered in your chest or maybe in your belly.
This inner light represents our hope,
Resilience and authentic joy.
It is never extinguished,
Only sometimes dimmed.
With each inhale,
Invite that light of hope to become brighter and warmer.
With each exhale,
Allow that light to soften and soothe any areas of stress or tension in your body.
This light is pure joy,
Unconnected to external circumstances or holiday obligations.
It is simply you.
Just be.
As you bathe in this feeling of inner hope,
Here is a reflection.
What practice will you use to actively cultivate and protect your inner hope this week?
A practice of releasing worry by writing down and letting go of one stressful thought daily.
Or a practice of seeking joy by intentionally finding and noticing beautiful things each day,
A color,
A sound or a taste.
Choose the focus that feels most empowering today and hold that intention gently.
Take a deep breath in,
Gathering all the hope and light we have cultivated and a slow releasing breath out,
Ready to share that glow with the world.
As you step forward,
Remember you are a radiant source of hope.
You are joyful and you are light.
Thank you for practicing mindful motivation together.
Have a beautiful day.
