Guided Meditation For Reducing Anxiety and Stress In 12 Minutes…
Commuting Meditation Step One: Let It GO:Ok, you had a rough start to your day. Your dog chewed up your shoes; you found a leaky pipe in your home; you and your partner had some not-so-kind words to exchange with each other.
Whatever happened this morning to get you off balance, release it. Holding on to that tension during the commute is just going to add more bad energy to your day. You have plenty of time to deal with the issues later today or even tomorrow.For now, do your best not to sweat the small stuff – simply let it be and center again on your breath. By giving yourself a break this morning is going to greatly enhance how the rest of your day, and will help you approach the situation with more grace later in the day.Commuting Meditation Step Two: Listen To The Music:Do you really need to deal with your smartphone or start texting and emailing right now? Take some time for yourself and start the workday in a few minutes. Listen to some meditation music or a guided meditation just until you feel a release and allow yourself to center and focus your mind.Once again, take a deep breath, close your eyes and bring your full body into a state of calm and find just a little bit of peace at this moment.Commuting Meditation Step Three: Set Your Intention:Do you have a big meeting with the boss, an important sales meeting? Getting yourself centered and all your “mental ducks in a row” is essential, but it’s even more essential to see these situations in a positive light and set yourself up for success. Remember, your thoughts create your life, why not make it good for yourself?If you find yourself with dread, fear, or lack of confidence towards any activity in your day, try to breathe gently into the feeling you have about it, acknowledge that feeling then move it into a positive spin until you can see something good in the situation.This seems like three small steps for a commuting meditation, but any one of them will make a big shift in the outcome of your day and have a very positive effect on your stress levels.Cultivate a Positive Mind-Set Through MeditationYou have the ability to create your own mindset.

easy meditation techniques on how you can turn

your morning commute into a simple but effective
00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:57.770
time for meditation to get your day off to a
00:00:57.770 --> 00:01:00.490
great start. So crazy morning traffic, right
00:01:00.490 --> 00:01:03.409
on the bus or in the subway. Well, they can quickly
00:01:03.409 --> 00:01:05.250
set up your whole day in a way that you're really
00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:08.709
not too happy with. So you're off balance. What
00:01:08.709 --> 00:01:11.090
now? Well, don't focus on the things that have
00:01:11.090 --> 00:01:13.650
just happened to you so far this morning. You
00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:16.049
will further set up your day by stressing over
00:01:16.049 --> 00:01:18.680
what the rest of the day may bring you. Follow
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:21.760
these easy meditation techniques so you can approach
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.299
your day with confidence and the right intention
00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:27.340
for success. So let's start. Take a deep breath.
00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:31.280
Yes, a deep breath. That is so important because
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.959
your whole entire life is connected to your breathing.
00:01:35.540 --> 00:01:38.799
You're born, you breathe, you die, you stop breathing.
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.079
Everything is connected to that. Now, I want
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.120
you to reclaim this time that you have and make
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.189
it your own to control. You only have this present
00:01:48.189 --> 00:01:50.950
moment anyway, so let's work on this together.
00:01:51.590 --> 00:01:53.769
Understand that going inward with your breath
00:01:53.769 --> 00:01:56.609
and viewing your day with a different perspective
00:01:56.609 --> 00:02:00.209
will leave you with a new set of calm that will
00:02:00.209 --> 00:02:03.469
then carry over into the rest of the day. So
00:02:03.469 --> 00:02:09.030
step one, let it go. Okay, so you had a rough
00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:11.610
start to your day, I get it. The dog chewed up
00:02:11.610 --> 00:02:14.370
your shoes. You found a leaky pipe in your home.
00:02:14.710 --> 00:02:17.050
You and your partner had, well, you know, not
00:02:17.050 --> 00:02:20.129
so kind words to exchange with each other. Well,
00:02:20.250 --> 00:02:22.449
whatever happened this morning to get you off
00:02:22.449 --> 00:02:25.889
balance, I want you to release it and let it
00:02:25.889 --> 00:02:29.710
go. It is not serving you in any way at this
00:02:29.710 --> 00:02:32.770
point. And besides, holding on to that tension
00:02:32.770 --> 00:02:35.270
during your commute is just going to add more
00:02:35.270 --> 00:02:38.280
bad energy to your day. You'll have plenty of
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.280
time to deal with these issues later today or
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.139
even tomorrow. For now, do your best not to sweat
00:02:45.139 --> 00:02:48.740
the small stuff. Simply let it be and center
00:02:48.740 --> 00:02:51.879
once again on your breath. By giving yourself
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.699
a break this morning, you're going to greatly
00:02:54.699 --> 00:02:57.759
enhance the rest of your day, and this will help
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:01.280
you approach any situation with more grace later
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.490
on. Step 2. Listen to meditation music. Do you
00:03:05.490 --> 00:03:08.090
really need to deal with your smartphone or start
00:03:08.090 --> 00:03:11.689
texting and emailing right now? Take some time
00:03:11.689 --> 00:03:14.990
for yourself and start the workday in a few minutes.
00:03:15.490 --> 00:03:18.629
Listen to some meditation music or a guided meditation
00:03:18.629 --> 00:03:21.449
just until you feel a release, till you feel
00:03:21.449 --> 00:03:24.310
a little bit better and allow yourself to center
00:03:24.310 --> 00:03:28.430
and focus your mind. Once again, take a deep
00:03:28.430 --> 00:03:32.199
breath, close your eyes, and bring your full
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.800
body into a state of calm using music or even
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.819
a guided meditation and find just a little bit
00:03:38.819 --> 00:03:43.340
of peace in that moment. Step 3. Set your intention
00:03:43.340 --> 00:03:46.280
for the rest of the day. Do you have a big meeting
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.340
with the boss? An important sales meeting today?
00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:52.819
Well get yourself centered and all your mental
00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:55.810
ducks in a row so to speak. But it's even more
00:03:55.810 --> 00:03:58.870
essential to see these situations in a positive
00:03:58.870 --> 00:04:02.930
light and set yourself up for success. Remember,
00:04:03.229 --> 00:04:06.250
your thoughts create your life. So why not make
00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:09.689
your life good for yourself? If you find yourself
00:04:09.689 --> 00:04:12.409
with dread, fear, or even lack of confidence
00:04:12.409 --> 00:04:15.610
towards any activity in your day, try to breathe
00:04:15.610 --> 00:04:19.170
gently into the feeling you have about it. Acknowledge
00:04:19.170 --> 00:04:21.769
that feeling of goodness, no matter how small
00:04:21.769 --> 00:04:25.100
it may be. and then move into a positive state
00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:28.480
of mind until you can see something good in the
00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.120
situation. These may seem like three very small
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.639
steps, but any one of these easy meditation techniques
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.600
will make a big shift in the outcome of your
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.019
day and have a very positive effect on your stress
00:04:42.019 --> 00:04:44.750
levels. Thank you for listening and spending
