Good morning and welcome to this powerful and quick meditation to help set your day off on the right course.

Begin by getting yourself as comfortable as you can.

Seated or laying,

Just make sure your spine is straight.

Now take a big breath in,

Filling your lungs to the very top,

Hold it there,

And let out a powerful and audible exhale,

Arriving into this present moment more fully.

Welcome to this brand new day.

This is a good morning,

It's a new beginning.

Thank yourself for choosing to be here.

Many of us get up without consciously choosing what we want to bring forth,

But rather allowing the day to run its course.

Not you though.

Today,

You are consciously choosing what it is you want to create.

Although some things may appear to be the exact same,

Everything is in constant motion,

Changing and expanding,

Nothing stays the same.

You can direct this change through the power of your thoughts,

Feelings,

And emotions.

So take these next few deep breaths to really tune into what you are choosing today.

You may wish to place your hands on your heart space to listen to what it has to say.

What is it you wish to call forth into your day?

More happiness,

More presence,

Or perhaps more confidence?

What do you choose today?

Silently complete this sentence.

Today I choose… What are you choosing today?

Today I choose… I would like you to now picture the rising sun,

Slowly coming up over the horizon.

Sense the warmth of the sun's ray filling your entire body with your day's intention.

Absorb the words you have created into every part of your being.

Today I choose… Declare that today,

No matter where you are going,

What you are doing,

And who you are doing it with,

That it will be your dominant intent to hold yourself to the intention you have drawn forth from within.

If you lose sight of it,

That's okay,

The sun will be there for you throughout the entire day to serve as a friendly reminder.

After all,

Even on a cloudy day,

The sun is always shining underneath,

So connect with it any time you need a reaffirmation of what you are choosing today.

Today I choose… One more big breath in,

And on your exhale,

Slowly open your eyes,

Welcoming in all possibilities your way.

Thank you for choosing to be here with me this morning,

It's gonna be a lovely one.

Please let me know what you are choosing by leaving me a comment,

I always love hearing from you,

It makes my day.

I look forward to having you join me again soon,

Have a wonderful day.
