This is a walkthrough exercise for tuning into your inner guidance.
So before you get started,
Just make sure that you've got a notebook and pen to hand.
Make sure that you're sitting comfortably.
And in a place where you won't be disturbed.
Now the first thing you're going to do is literally do a brain dump and this is where you will write down everything that's in your head and put it down on paper.
So you might want to start with just a circle in the middle of the page,
Which says brain,
And then create a spidergram with lots of things coming off of that circle.
So it might be things that kept you awake last night.
It might be things that you have to do.
Just anything that's on your mind,
Take some time now to just write them all down.
I'm going to give you around about another minute to do this.
If you need more time,
You can just pause until you're ready.
So,
That's about 30 seconds,
So just carry on writing down anything that you've been thinking about.
Okay,
So now that you've done that,
Just look at the sheet of paper in front of you and pick out something that you would like to work on today.
This is something that you might want to solve,
Maybe it's a problem,
Maybe it's an idea that you've got that you'd like a little bit more clarity around.
Anything that you think you would like to just do some super thinking around today.
And when you've got that thing in your mind,
I want you to just set an intention now.
And that could be something like,
My intention today is to gain clarity around this issue.
Or my intention today is to think up creative solutions to this problem.
So just set an intention in your mind and write that intention down on your notebook.
The next thing we're going to do is just create a home base.
And this is something that you can come back to if your mind starts to wander.
So a lot of people use their breath as a kind of anchor or home base.
Some people use a background sound as an anchor or home base.
Some people just use their body,
Like the weight of their body where they're sitting.
And whatever you choose is absolutely perfect.
So let's get started.
So again,
Just making sure that you're feeling really comfortable and cosy wherever you're sat.
And when you're ready,
Just close down your eyes and take some nice deep breaths.
So just taking three nice,
Deep,
Conscious breaths.
Slowly and deeply.
And on the exhale just letting go.
And just bringing that intention to mind for a moment.
And also remembering that home base that you set for yourself as well.
And then start thinking,
To start thinking purposefully.
And this doesn't need to take any structure.
It doesn't matter where it goes.
I'll nudge you a few times just to bring you back to that intention.
It can help to just visualize your brain as a supercomputer.
And you might want to just imagine yourself feeding your intention into that supercomputer.
And just watching what happens.
Just observing.
Just allowing your brain,
Your amazing mind to work for you.
But also reminding yourself that sometimes we can try too hard.
So just let things flow as much as possible and try not to get caught up in judgments or feelings of resistance.
Just remembering that intention that you set at the beginning.
And if that intention no longer feels right or you've changed your mind or you want to think about something else,
That's okay.
Just bringing your mind to that piece of paper.
Where you wrote down all those things that were on your mind.
And maybe there's something else that's jumping out at you now.
If your mind's began to wander,
Just gently bringing the attention back to that home base.
Back to that intention.
Just remembering that intention that you set for yourself,
Allowing your mind to help you filter,
To help you gain clarity.
To help you find solutions.
Or maybe ideas and inspiration.
Give your mind the space it needs.
Just remembering that intention,
Reminding yourself that this is what your brain is for.
Your amazing brain.
Can do so many things for you.
Remembering that home base if your thoughts are beginning to drift.
Just gently bringing them back to the home base.
Bringing that intention to mind.
Just about got another minute left.
Okay,
So now we're going to just close this super thinking session.
So just take a nice deep breath.
And open your eyes when you're ready.
And the first thing I want you to do is just write.
So whatever thoughts and feelings came up,
Just jot them all down.
I'll give you a minute or so just to write down any insight or ideas or clarity or solutions that came from this process.
So just jot them all down.
Okay,
Well done.
If you need longer,
That's okay.
You can just pause and come back when you're ready.
We're now just going to give some gratitude really for this time for your mind.
So just closing your eyes one last time as you just send gratitude and love and appreciation to all parts of you.
It can help to just put one hand on your chest,
One hand on your tummy.
As you really feel into that gratitude.
Feelings that gratitude just for this time,
Just for this space.
Just for you to really tune into that inner guidance,
That wisdom and that intuition.
And utilising the amazing capacity of your mind.
Well done.
Just open your eyes when you're ready and go about your day knowing that you've taken this time for yourself and that you have listened to that inner guidance and inner wisdom.
