Morning Meditation For A Productive Day

Good morning! We're starting our productive day with some light movement to wake us up followed by intention setting.

I recommend doing this meditation sitting in a chair or on the couch, rather than in bed, where you won't be tempted to fall back asleep afterwards. Also, as this meditation incorporates some light movement, please move mindfully according to your own body and your limitations.

Good morning,

My name is Amber,

And welcome to this morning meditation for a productive day.

Let's get started with some mindful movement to wake us up.

Alright,

Sitting up straight with your arms straight down by your sides,

Rolling the shoulders back and down.

Inhale as you raise your arms up out to the sides and then up by your ears as far as they'll go.

And exhale,

Bringing them back down.

And again,

Inhaling your arms up.

Perhaps you might take a stretch here if it feels good.

And exhale,

Lowering the arms down.

Now,

Just take this at your own pace,

Going as slow or as fast as you like.

Just bringing some small simple movement into the body to get the blood moving and to get your day started.

Now,

Changing up the movement,

Place your right hand on your left knee and twist towards the left,

Giving your spine a gentle twist.

Keep breathing.

And switch to the other side,

Place your left hand on your right knee and turn towards the right,

Looking over your right shoulder.

Now,

Returning to the center with a greater awareness of the body,

Close your eyes if you haven't already.

And I invite you to now set an intention for the rest of your day.

I like to use the mantra,

I will do one thing at a time,

Deliberately and well.

And you might decide if this resonates with you today,

And if not,

Take some time to set your own intention.
