Thank you for joining me for this meditation.
In this,
We're going to look at goal setting from both a intellectual perspective,
But also a physical perspective,
An emotive perspective.
It's really important when we're setting goals that we embody the feeling we want when we've achieved it.
So get yourself into a comfortable position.
Cross your legs if that feels comfortable.
Keep your spine straight.
Move your body however you need to so that you feel really settled.
And either close your eyes or just gaze softly in the distance,
About a metre or so in front of you.
Perfect.
So firstly,
Let's get present by connecting with our breath.
So in your own time,
Take a few deep breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth with a sigh if that feels good.
Okay,
And just let your breath return to normal,
Its own rhythm.
Now bring to mind a goal you have set yourself.
And I want you to think of the emotions or the way you will feel when you've achieved it.
Happiness,
Joy,
Confidence.
Whatever is true for you.
Just think about that emotion for a moment.
Now I want you to explore where in your body is that emotion.
Do you feel it in your fingers or your toes?
Does it live in your chest or your back?
Maybe your legs and hips or on your face?
Where do you experience that emotion?
Tune into that and then double it.
Allow the emotion to build in those areas.
Allow it to become stronger.
Allow it to really live in your body.
Okay,
Now double it again.
If it's a smile on your face,
Feel it grow wider.
If it's a tingle through your arms,
Allow it to tingle more.
If it's a quickening of your breath through excitement,
Allow that to happen.
Double that emotion and really feel it in your body.
Feel as though you have succeeded at your goal and you are living that result right now.
Amazing.
Now just allow your attention to drift back to your breath,
Just to ground us again.
Just watch the rhythm of your breath for a moment and allow that emotion just to slowly ease.
Still there,
Just not as intense.
The rise and fall of your stomach,
Just watching,
Feeling the coolness of the air on the nose.
Perfect.
When you feel ready,
You can open your eyes and move your body.
And come back to this practice when you're having good days and more importantly,
When you're having bad days and your goals feel out of reach,
So that you can remember how possible it is to live it right in this moment.
Thank you for joining me.
