Transcript

Welcome to day four of Mental Floss.

Today is all about completing tasks.

So find a place now to take a moment to sit,

Recline or lay down comfortably and safely.

No matter what's going on in life right now,

Allow yourself to take a big deep breath in and hold it for a second before breathing out and closing your eyes down.

To achieve any result,

You first have to believe that it's possible.

So now's the time to believe in yourself.

To open up your mind to allow self-belief to fill your thoughts.

Allow your mind to listen,

To understand.

Allow thoughts to move freely through your mind and know that anything you set out to accomplish will be perfectly completed.

Your awareness and your ability will be at its sharpest perfection.

Your attempt to complete any task will be perfect in form and function.

So I want you now to imagine a task that you have to complete.

No matter what this task might be,

Something personal,

Tidying up a room,

Working out,

Visiting a friend or something professional,

Sending an email,

Making a phone call.

I'll give you a moment to think of your task.

Now I want you to see yourself as being completely prepared.

You've done everything you needed in order to prepare and you have everything essential to completing your task to perfection.

So now you're ready to start your journey.

You're ready to start your journey.

You're prepared.

You've done everything you needed in order to prepare and you have everything essential to completing your task to perfection.

So feel your confidence begin to rise now.

Now you can feel excited to begin.

Now you're confident that you're perfectly prepared,

Perfectly capable and with 100% certainty you know you'll successfully complete this task and any task by starting one small step at a time and then one more step and then one more step.

In all that you do from this point forward,

You will be calm,

You will be confident and you'll have clear and focused thinking.

You'll now utilize all of your abilities to their fullest extent and you'll feel certain that you'll complete the task and perform at your very best.

So allow these thoughts to flow through your mind now and those great feelings of having accomplished any task flowing through your body now because you've done everything you needed.

Now you have a task flowing through your body now becoming stronger and stronger as your day goes on.

Now open your eyes and choose a task to begin.

Reviews

Edit 3 from past review.
: im sorry i didn't see the notification. I wish there was a notification for it 😅 I would have gotten back sooner. I feel honored. The notifications were there but they are in a apecific side place I didnt think to click. So im sorry!
i really like your first choice personally. I think it will bring people here faster too. Do the thing you're avoiding is exactly what a lot of us need i think. Its procrastination but sometimes it is procrastinating something that will help (Ironically im procrastinating currently and trying to push myself up haha). The hardest thing with procrastination for me is i want to relax and give a space but then I just want it to last forever and then im rushing last minute. Its part of why adhd to do list is half way done but by the end im exhausted like i did a bunch more things. I need a break but I need to be able to snap myself out of it too. This one you will be coming with will be so helpful. I am extrememly looking forward to it!
Also genuinely. I listen to some meditations that are by the top people but some don't work for me. And yours did so well. Its crazy what words work mentally better for some and not for others.
Sorry 3 also, your voice is also extrememly relaxing. I am a musician and an artist who puts my emotions into these fields when creating. I find the talks and meditations I need are more rhythmic and lower bass. Even the women's. The pacing does a lot for me. Point is. If you ever doubt that you're helping based on other numbers and that you cant see us progress, you are a thousand percent are. I dont know why i felt to tell you that but sometimes even the emotional healers need supportive words besides from their loved ones.

Great, I found myself feeling better as the meditation 🧘‍♀️ went on. This is going to help me tidy a corner.

Just what I needed to finish a project I've been unsure of!

Really great. I’m ready to go tackle my work now.

This is helpful to listen to when I have to do something that I've been avoiding. It's motivating. I liked the uplifting background music! Thank you!

Simple, yet motivating! One small step, and then another small step. Yes! That makes it doable! Ok, time to get started on my task. Thank you!
P. S. I was so immensely productive that day, and it's all because of this meditation! I'm going to listen to it daily, now, right before I need to get busy. I especially need it now because I've started a new med that makes my ADHD med less effective. I'm grateful that there's a solution other than increasing the dose of the stimulant.

Thank you for the lift and form nudge and motivation to get to task.

Quick but so effective! I really loved the flow, energy, and background music of this meditation. Immediately feel motivated!

Very good. Builds a 'can do' mindset and the music goes perfectly with this practice. Thank u.

I really like this short session. It was powerful.

Short and perfect! Thank you. I wish i could find more meditations like this one.

Excellent! I'm learning in psychology 101 how important this meditation is for motivation, willpower and self-discipline. Great! I'll do this Every morning!

Just what I needed to get myself back on track and focus on what needs to be done.

Nice quick and made me focus on what I need to get done today!

Love this short practice! I’m feeling energised and mentally ready to tackle my task. Thank you 🙏
