Epi 74: Accepting What Is - Mini Meditation Reset
When was the last time you gave yourself a mental and emotional boost? Every once in a while, we need to reset and bring ourselves back to center. Feeding yourself positive affirmations allows you to elevate your mood, find a sense of peace, and shift your perspective to help you keep your life together, girl!
The Get Your Life Together, Girl mini bi-monthly reset is here to help you reset and remember who you are.
Find a comfortable position and take a full deep breath. Let your body settle as you find the rhythm of your breath—slow and gentle, effortless as you welcome in calm and release tension.
As your body relaxes, tell your mind to slow down, too. There’s nothing to worry about, nothing to rush to; there’s no tension you must concern yourself with. There’s a time for everything; at this moment, it’s time just to be, to accept what is, as it is, as you are right now.
Invite yourself to come to complete stillness now with another gently easy breath.
Let these words guide you into a state of self-connection while you honor your journey and this moment of being.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
There are times in our lives when we find ourselves struggling, even fighting with our thoughts and emotions. In times of change or stagnation, we can feel as if nothing is happening for us, and everything is happening to us. These feelings can cause turmoil, which upsets our emotional and mental balance. When we become aware that a struggle is within us, we become disrupted and uncomfortable. Our instincts push against the unfamiliar, the unknown, as we roll around with the discomfort, adding a mentality of lack, stress, and anxiety.
This mindset becomes our lens, how we see everything until we remember that we have the power to call clarity back to us.
We can always choose to open ourselves to understanding what is and all the options that lie within and around us. There will never be a moment that choice is not at your fingertips, and this understanding, this power, comes only from knowing you are never limited by where you are, by a moment and events that are moving through your life. The truth is you are only limited by how you see and feel about what is. Your power lies within your connection to every moment that finds you.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
Repeat after me, if it serves you.
My life is a teacher. Every moment that finds me, whether it feels like an obstacle, issue, upset, disappointment, or uncertainty is a moment whose intention is to teach me what I need and must have to grow in this journey I call my life.
Today may not be what I envisioned for myself, but it is what I need. And within this need, I understand that everything that happens through me, around me, and within my existence is and will always be for me. Every moment I have the pleasure of living is a moment that can be a catalyst for something more, regardless if it first appears as a hurdle or an emotional and mental earthquake.
I know that life is not black and white—it’s made of shades of grey and all the vibrant colors that make up the landscape of my life. The landscape of different perspectives, outcomes, and understandings—all of which I need to be my best and most authentic self.
When I release the idea of how things “should be,” I give myself permission to own what is. When I look at all the possibilities, I willingly accept that there is room for more. There is room for growth. There is room for everything I need, want, and desire. There is room for me, in my life, actively, beautifully, and within a mindset of seeing how the world is always moving in my favor. When I engage with all that is, I allow life to serve me.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
I know that I’ve never been meant to live in a linear way. There will always be ups and downs, the ebb and flow. I accept that my path and journey have always and will always take unexpected twists and turns. While these twists may cause feelings of loss, confusion, fear, joy, excitement, and love, I realize that these are the elements of life itself, the elements of what is. The elements of how I see, feel, and anchor things within my mind, body, and soul.
Within these elements, there is acceptance, and acceptance allows me to surrender instead of simply enduring life. Enduring never serves; it never helps me move into my best state. It only keeps me small and living inside a box that was never meant to be my shelter.
I know when I am in a state of enduring because I am out of alignment with what is good, grounded, and fulfilling. It’s in these times that I forget that I always have a choice. When there is no choice, there is resistance.
The opposite of resistance is an empowered choice, and that is my natural state.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
From now on, I am engaging in choices that come from balanced perspectives. I have the power to choose. I have the power to live. I have the power to know that life is not happening to me. Life is happening for me.
Accepting what is, is a gift.
I release my need to control what is. Instead, I am consciously living from a place of courage and personal power. I am giving my best mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually to each moment. This state of being and doing allows me to own my life, direct my energy, and know that I am a powerful soul having a very human experience.
This is my what is state—this is the power that peace affords me.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
Allow resistances to flow from your lips and say, “I am here to live my life as it is, as I am, and in whatever comes and will be. This is the state of change, and I honor this beautiful way of life.”
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
I AM
I am…Two of the most powerful words in any language. Words that direct our emotions and thoughts into movements that support us.
I am change.
I am whole and capable.
I am in the flow of what is, at any time, in all ways.
I am living a life of peace because I know that everything that comes into my awareness has the power to shape me for the better.
I am honoring that I have the power of choice.
I am living in a state of acceptance.
I am mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually owning all of me, which means the blessings that come my way, too.
I am purposeful with my intentions.
I am allowing a gap between my emotions and my response.
I am seeing life differently now.
I am welcoming of the unknown.
I am powerful, and this power will always be used to serve my highest, greatest, and most grounded good.
Take another full deep breath and let it go.
Allow this understanding to be your guide. Allow yourself to seize the beauty of what is. Today is the day that you call back clarity, release tension, and know that everything is working in your favor.
Anytime you need a moment to come back to center. Repeat these words and lean into your inner truth. You are beautiful.
