Hi,
I'm Laia.
Welcome to this guided journaling session designed to help you cultivate clarity and intention in your daily life.
Take time to pause,
Breathe and reflect as you create a foundation of mindfulness that allows you to move through your day with greater awareness and purpose.
Today we will explore setting an intention,
Something meaningful to you,
Something that aligns with your values and a small action that can bring you closer to embodying it.
This practice can be a simple yet powerful tool to ground yourself whether you're starting your morning,
Resetting in the afternoon or winding down in the evening.
I invite you to take a few moments just for yourself,
So find a comfortable position sitting or lying down and gently soften your gaze or close your eyes.
Let's begin by taking a deep breath in through your nose and a slow steady breath out through your nose or your mouth.
Again inhale deeply,
Feeling your belly expand and exhale completely,
Releasing any tension in your shoulders,
Your face.
One more time,
Breathe in fully and let it go.
And as your breath settles back into a natural rhythm,
Allow it to just be as it is,
Nothing to force,
Nothing to fix,
Just this moment,
Just your breath.
Feel the support beneath you,
The space around you,
The quiet presence within.
And as you are here,
I invite you to bring your awareness to this question.
What intention or personal value do I want to focus on today?
And there's no need to rush to an answer,
Simply let the question settle in your mind like a pebble dropped into a still lake.
What intention or personal value do I want to focus on today?
Notice what arises,
Maybe a word,
An image or a feeling,
And if nothing comes right away that's okay,
Just stay open.
Trust that whatever comes to you is exactly what you need right now.
Breathe in deeply,
Breathe out completely.
Now gently ask yourself,
What conscious action,
No matter how small,
Can I take to get a bit closer to this intention today?
It could be something simple,
Pausing before responding,
Taking a deep breath before a meeting,
Having a sip of water every once in a while,
Or even offering yourself kind words.
What conscious action,
No matter how small,
Can I take to get a bit closer to this intention today?
Whatever it is,
Hold it softly in your awareness.
When you're ready,
Bring your attention back to the present.
Again,
Taking a deep breath in and letting it go.
Slowly blink your eyes open,
And if you'd like to,
I invite you now to grab your journal.
Before moving on with your day,
Take a moment to write.
I will give you five minutes to do so.
Simply let your thoughts flow onto the page.
Write about your intention for today,
How you want to show up,
What small conscious action can you take.
Let it be simple,
Honest reflection.
Know that whatever you write is enough,
Creating space for yourself,
For your thoughts,
For your growth.
And as you finish up,
Thank yourself for showing up.
May your intention guide you gently through what's ahead.
When you're ready,
Take one last deep breath in,
Deepest breath you've taken all day.
Let it expand front to back,
Side to side,
And top to bottom,
And exhale completely.
Thank you for being here.
I wish you a mindful and intentional day.
Until we meet again,
Take care of yourself and be well.
