Welcome to this meditation,

An ideal day in your life.

This meditation will lead you through a few points of a typical yet blissful day,

Allowing you to tune in,

Visualize,

Imagine the details and the feelings to let your mind show you what your ideal day holds,

How it looks,

How it flows,

How it feels.

Let's see how close your current reality is to your ideal.

Let's discover what you can bring to your life today.

Let's begin.

Close your eyes.

Take a deep breath,

Pause,

And slowly and fully exhale.

Take another deep breath,

Pause,

And as you exhale,

Feel your body relax.

Let's step into the very beginning of this day.

It's still dark.

There's a gentle,

Steady hum outside your home,

But inside there's quiet,

Darkness.

Go there now.

There's a softness as you begin to wake,

A softness and a knowing and appreciation for this day that is dawning.

You know that life is exactly as it should be,

Exactly as you've seen it in your daydreams before this.

Your mind is relaxed as your body comes into focus.

You feel the heaviness of a good night's sleep,

A coziness,

The cocoon of your bed and your room.

You come into knowing that everything you've ever wanted is here,

Now,

In your life,

In the day ahead,

Another beautiful day,

In your beautiful,

Wondrous life.

Each step and stage of your life has brought you here,

And you feel the gratitude.

It floods your heart,

Your body.

You have followed your unique path,

Trusting,

And you've created this ideal life.

No one else.

Only you can do it.

This is your ideal life.

No one else's.

Before even opening your eyes,

You know it's all there,

Just as you've chosen.

It begins in your thoughts and expectations.

You can feel the softness of your sheets.

You know the color of those sheets,

Your bed,

Your bedroom.

Your windows overlook your ideal setting.

You can see what's outside your windows.

Is it the hum of the city,

A calm lake,

A stream,

A grove of trees?

Maybe there's nothing but the sky,

A breeze,

Does it?

You gently stretch your body away,

Swinging your feet to the floor.

Is it hardwood?

Is there a fluffy rug or soft carpet beneath your feet?

Maybe you slip your feet into your favorite slippers.

How will you begin this day?

With meditation,

A walk,

A shower,

Or something warm to hold and sip while you simply appreciate the start of the day?

Is there someone joining you for these precious quiet moments?

Your cat,

Your dog,

Your partner,

Your children?

Maybe you're alone with your thoughts as the sun rises.

What delicious breakfast awaits you?

Is it simple and sweet,

Or hearty and filling to give you energy to tackle this day?

What will you wear today?

Some cotton for your work-from-home business,

A suit for your corner office,

A colorful ensemble to greet your customers,

Maybe a soft sweatshirt for another day outdoors?

Who do you serve with your work?

What is your message?

What drives you to show up each day?

Is it your love for animals?

Your love of art?

Your love for the planet?

Your love for other humans?

Who do you help discover their worth and their gifts each day?

Do you enjoy the peace of working in your own space,

Or do you prefer serving many people in many ways with others who share your vision?

Do you serve families together?

Do you assist other professionals?

Do you help people in emergency?

What gives you a feeling of satisfaction at the end of the day?

Feel the knowing that you have followed guidance to serve in a way only you can.

Feel the satisfaction when the end of the workday comes.

You've done your best.

You've shown up.

You've offered your gifts to the world.

Now it's time to return to your space,

Your home.

How do you get there?

Are you riding a bike through town?

Walking along a trail?

Riding on a train or a bus?

Or driving your favorite route home?

What does that community look like?

Feel yourself lighten a bit.

Release the day as you see your home,

Your front door welcoming you.

What does your home look like?

What color is your front door?

Are there flowers?

Are there trees?

Are there other homes nearby?

Do you wave at a neighbor?

Do you say hello to the birds or the squirrels in the trees?

Is there a gate to swing open to your driveway?

To your front yard?

Or do you take an elevator up?

Maybe you arrive just as your partner arrives.

Or your kids meet you at the door.

Is your cat or dog eagerly waiting in the window,

Hoping for a pet and a hug?

How do you unwind?

When you walk inside,

Do you turn on music or enjoy the silence?

Do you grab a cold drink or maybe sit down for a quick game while you share the best parts of your day?

And where will you have dinner?

In the kitchen?

On the deck?

In the dining room?

Does someone cook for you or do you enjoy preparing and cooking for yourself?

Go there now.

Smell it.

See it.

Feel it.

Relax into it.

This is your ideal setting.

Your ideal evening meal.

Who is with you?

Listen to your heart.

When it is time to rest or recharge,

Is it with an entertaining show or a book?

Again,

Is there music?

Is there silence?

Do you allow yourself some peaceful moments or do you head out for some physical movement to release any tension before bed?

A walk,

A run,

A trip to the park with your dog,

Some playtime with your cat or kids,

Maybe a game with friends?

Is there a community event tonight?

Is there a meeting for a cause close to your heart?

As the evening turns to night,

How do you prepare for sleep?

What are you wearing?

Where are you?

Do you journal about your day?

Do you read in bed?

Do you stretch a little?

Or maybe you sit on your porch and simply gaze at the view,

At the street,

Look up at the sky marveling at your wonderful,

Fulfilling life.

Feel the comforting assurance that you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

You always are.

You are thankful for your gifts,

The choices you've made,

The missteps that have redirected you as you continue to follow the messages of your heart.

Each day brings you closer to your ideal life.

Each time you say yes to your joy,

You know it can only keep getting better.

Like today,

This perfect day that you have created and you have chosen.

With your mind,

You have just shown yourself and the universe what your future holds.

It's always up to you.

You hold the power.

And you feel it as you crawl into bed to dream more,

To create more.

You close your eyes and in your mind,

You give thanks for this day,

For your life.

You know that when you imagine it,

You can create it.

You can receive it.

Your ideal day.

Thank you for taking this journey today.

Take a deep breath.

Give your body a gentle stretch.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes.

Reviews

Lovely meditation, lovely voice, and music. Thank you 🙏

Has a little too much external stuff for my liking but will be great to use in class with my high school students

I just absolutely love this meditation Kris 🥰! It takes me on such a journey of all the possibilities of how I can live my best day. The first several times I’ve listened, it brought me to such depths of gratitude that I was always too overcome by emotions of gratitude to leave a review, that I needed to get outside immediately into Mother Nature so as to ground and finish my intention for said day. I had always planned on coming back and leaving a review and so here it is…
A beautiful way to start my day & set my intentions through the amazing visualizations that you offer here in this beautiful meditation. Many warm blessings and so much gratitude for your offerings here on IT as I utilize them daily. Namaste 🙏🏻 ✨💫💜

Beautiful visualization meditation! I’m going to listen to it several times. Thanks
