We all go through periods in life feeling a lack of vitality or that we just can't escape those self-deprecating thoughts. This is a completely natural aspect of human nature but can develop into stress and anxiety if we don't take the time to connect with and talk to our inner selves. This simple guided meditation with Vivek, focussing on confidence, determination, and self-support will take you through three elements: relaxation, breathing and affirmation. Overcome your mental rut now.

Transcript

You in this very moment Let's pause and take some much-needed time for ourselves Take this moment just for you A moment that is entirely yours See to yourself in an upright posture with your spine straight Close your eyes Focus your attention inwards Firstly on your body bringing your awareness to any tension or areas of tightness If you were able to relax into these areas after bringing your awareness to them Doing so gradually whilst feeling gratitude to your body for supporting and carrying you on life's journey Turn your awareness to your breathing Breathe deeply and deliberately for a few moments Focusing on the sound of your breath,

The feeling of the air on your nostrils,

The movement of your chest,

And the steady beat of your heart Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale As you exhale,

Visualize all the stress,

Anxiety,

And negative energy leaving your body Inhale the pure positive potential that the universe is providing Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Inhale Exhale Exhale Acknowledge any thoughts of stress and worry that float to the surface of your mind.

Watch these thoughts as a witness and pay attention to the feeling they evoke in your body.

Repeat the following affirmation.

As you repeat the words,

Visualize your body filling full of golden light,

Pure,

Universal,

Potential.

Open the universe,

Enveloping your being in pure,

Universal love and acceptance.

This is what I make of it.

Success is not final.

Success is not fatal.

I create my own reality.

I have the power to motivate.

I have the power to inspire.

No matter what happens,

I will be grateful.

All is well.

Bring your awareness back to your body.

Feel the surface on which you are sitting,

The temperature of the room around you on your skin,

And the ambient noise of your immediate surroundings.

Slowly,

Open your eyes and remain seated in place.

The guided part of this meditation has now concluded.

Feel free to sit in silence for a few minutes more.
