Introduction to Guided Meditation
00:00:01
Speaker
Hi everyone! Welcome to this very special episode of Pretty Invested. Today we're actually going to be doing a guided meditation together.
Meditation for Restless Minds
00:00:14
Speaker
This meditation is aimed to help
00:00:17
Speaker
girls kind of like me who are a little bit restless were always on the go and so i wanted to make this meditation under 10 minutes including this intro to b4 girls who maybe have a harder time doing traditional meditations it's the type of meditation i would want for myself and you can play it every day because you know who doesn't have time for 10 minutes if
00:00:47
Speaker
don't have 10 minutes in your day then you probably have bigger problems but yeah with that let's just get right into it so let's start by getting into a meditative seat and with your shoulders slightly back head up begin to close your eyes so i like to start with
00:01:17
Speaker
Five deep breaths to get us into the correct pace of meditation. And I'll start with you guys.
Breathing Exercises and Relaxation
00:01:30
Speaker
Breathing in. Holding at the top for a little bit of time and breathing out.
00:01:47
Speaker
And sometimes I like to audibly breathe out as part of this full relaxation process. Breathing in and out. Breathing in and out.
00:02:17
Speaker
lets you take the last few on your own pace. Feeling as you breathe in, your chest inflate. And as you breathe out, full body relaxation. And out.
00:02:46
Speaker
As part of meditation, focusing on your breath and it's okay if thoughts come into your mind. I used to beat myself up whenever I would get distracted or my mind would go somewhere else but I find that it's not just about
00:03:14
Speaker
not thinking but the act of effort to come back to the breath is something you should take pride in and a muscle that we exercise so every time that your mind wanders off just notice it and then let that thought go and come back to your breath breathing in and out
00:03:45
Speaker
And just like working out every single time we do that, we get stronger and better at it.
Establishing Breathing Pace
00:03:53
Speaker
So it's the fact that every time you do think and your mind wanders, you come back to your breath. That is part of the practice.
00:04:07
Speaker
And every time you breathe in, I think it's best to focus on the breath when you initially start. And then your body automatically knows the pace. So it's like a fat wear establishing the pace and best practice. And then from there, our body just knows how to best breathe.
00:04:37
Speaker
And out.
Manifestation and Visualization Meditation
00:04:41
Speaker
And if we're going to think of this meditation as a workout, our second set is going to be focused on actually a form of manifestation. And visualize what you're thinking about for this upcoming season. So taking a breath in.
00:05:07
Speaker
And how? And with our eyes closed, we can come to a very clear image of what you see for yourself at the end of the season in, you know, three months. Where do you see yourself? And drawing an image to mind of your idealized self. Think about how do you look
00:05:38
Speaker
uh what are you wearing the environment that you're in now you can be by yourself or you know with a partner with friends at an event what do you see yourself in how do you what are you excited to be in
00:06:00
Speaker
For me, the image has been pretty consistent of, you know, a black turtleneck and a cute black skirt in the middle of Manhattan with a bunch of people walking around and me just feeling confident, standing still confidently with a slight smile on my face. Maybe yours is at
00:06:29
Speaker
tropical beach but i can just see my face and i'm smiling and i'm standing so tall and i look fit you know we've done some pilates classes and we look great and just feeling that self that idealized version um look at her and see how she feels and
00:06:57
Speaker
Come her and feel that energy as if you were to accomplish those goals of yourself, the things that you want to do and you are her in this very moment. Feel what it's like to have accomplished the goals that you needed to get to that idealized version. And with that clear image in your head in our next breath, we can let it go.
Releasing Visualization with Confidence
00:07:27
Speaker
Because that is going to be you. It is you. So breathing in. Feel what it's like to be her. And then with the confidence, letting that image go. Breathe out. Let that image go. Because it's done. You're there. And with that clear vision for yourself,
00:07:58
Speaker
take one final deep breath and out now you can start to wiggle your toes a little bit and your fingers
00:08:19
Speaker
And whenever you're ready, open your eyes and let them flutter open, adjusting to the like. And that's the end of our practice.
Daily Meditation Practice
00:08:34
Speaker
I wanted this meditation to be something that's short enough that you can do every day and a combination of
00:08:45
Speaker
relaxation, meditation, and manifestation to inspire. So that, well, I like to do my meditations in the morning and start my day off right, feeling calm and peace, as well as inspiration to be aligned with what my goals are. So I hope you'll enjoy me in this
00:09:12
Speaker
Not necessarily challenge, but think of it more as an opportunity to make it a daily practice. You have 10 minutes every morning and find that every time that I actually end up doing my meditation, I'm really happy that I actually went through with it. And it's probably the 10 best minutes of my use of my day.
Positive Morning Routine and Self-Compassion
00:09:38
Speaker
and um if you have a bit of time feel free to cut me off but my thought process every morning for doing these is that i think my morning routine sometimes i forget different parts but trying not to be too hard on myself and my only goal every single morning as part of my quote-unquote morning routine is to
00:10:06
Speaker
To get into a good mood, just getting yourself in a good feeling just sets you off on the day right. And I wanted to make this meditation as something that I would want for myself because it is hard when you are someone who is so type A and restless and wanting to be
00:10:25
Speaker
highly efficient that you find that you don't always take time to meditate.
Final Encouragement and Gratitude
00:10:32
Speaker
So thank you for joining this practice. The fact that you did it is honestly super impressive and you should feel good about it. And hopefully we'll do this again tomorrow. And I hope it got you into a good mood and you feel ready, calm and excited for the day. Thank you.
