Welcome to a meditation for your inner control freak.
We all have moments of micromanagement that can exhaust ourselves and those around us.
Sometimes it is better to release the need to control everything and learn to accept and open up to new ideas.
Let's begin by closing our eyes and taking a nice deep breath.
Filling our tummies and filling our lungs from bottom to top.
Take another breath to shut off that stress mode and release the happy hormones.
Next,
Breathing deep and slow and now breathe normally and feel positive energy flowing through you.
Feel the happiness,
Gratefulness,
And calmness that exists within you and can become a part of your daily life.
Say to yourself every day in some way is better and better and allow peace to enter your life.
Imagine now a path that leads to a beautiful garden filled with gorgeous plants and flowers.
Everyone imagines a completely unique garden just for them.
What's yours like?
Is it beautifully landscaped to Zen perfection or is it left wild and naturally lovely in design?
Take a moment to enjoy all the beauty your special garden has to offer just for you.
Now feel that you are a part of nature and become aware of a free-flowing river running through your garden.
This beautiful stream of water keeps moving around the pebbles and the rocks flowing out past the horizon.
Notice that nothing is going to come in between this babbling brook and its destiny.
Appreciate its movement and its natural ability to flow right over any obstacles in its path.
All rivers lead to the sea eventually.
Trying to control the flow by placing pebbles or sticks in its path won't stop it.
See how nature just keeps following its course.
We are all a part of nature and we can all tune into our own inner guidance.
Listening to our intuition and allowing ourselves to go with the flow of life and become more flexible with an attitude of trust and optimism.
Let go of should do.
Let go of clinging and clutching to all those expectations and allow yourself to open up to new creative and fresh ideas.
See the best-case scenario in any situation.
Be a voice of tolerance and acceptance.
Strive for the best possible outcome without all the rigid ideas.
Create space for all possibilities and all opinions.
And now stare into this moving water.
Let it remind you to stay open and flexible and spontaneous.
Make a commitment to try new things and listen to your intuition more and more.
Remain open to new opportunities and different outcomes.
Letting go of your rigid ideas of how things have to be,
Should be.
We can let go of limitations.
Try to see all the amazing possibilities as they present themselves to us.
Release and let go of all judgment and the need to always be right.
Sometimes it's better to be kind than to be right.
We can't even imagine all that the world has to offer for us.
Get out of your own way and just like that stream in the garden,
Go with the natural flow of nature.
Being flexible and open to change that is a part of life.
When you are ready,
You can return to the room leaving the garden.
No,
You can return anytime.
Open your eyes when you're ready to carry this peacefulness,
This lightness and flexibility throughout your day and becoming a peaceful influence on others.
Thank you.
