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 these words guide you into a state of relaxation, release, and the ability to actively observe and break free of the thoughts that no longer serve you.

Your mind is a wonderous place—a place of insight. It’s a place that has the power to serve you if you take the time to observe and notice the mental activity you give your attention to. When the mind gets lost in thought, you have the power to regain your focus, to shed light on the darkness, to offer yourself trust, and let go of negativity, anxiety, and leave overthinking where it belongs—outside of you. Checking in, going within the thought process gives you the power to be non-reactive to the thoughts that do not serve your life.

Take a full deep breath and let it go.

While most meditations ask you to calm your mind, in a conscious state of release, we start together now by noticing where the mind is; we start by noticing the thoughts flowing in and out.

As a new thought comes, mindfully breathe, observe, and let it be—not attaching, not reacting, but instead, just sitting. Slowing down and witnessing is the only way to process and be mindfully within what serves you. The brain does not have a filter for negative or positive. It’s your attachment to the moment that provides the filter. Whether you know it or not, you have the power to change or use whatever comes into your awareness.

Take another full deep breath and let it go.

Now that you are focused and in a state of center, it’s time to witness your thought process.

Many believe their thoughts are real, that they are facts. However, our thoughts are impulses, and we are the ones who attach meaning to them. We are the ones who attach and call them facts, not our mind. Buddha called this “The Second Dart.” The first dart is when something actually happens; the second is when we relive the event in our mind.  

We must stop responding to thoughts as if they are fact and allowing them to take deep root—especially when they are negative. When we attach ourselves to negative thoughts, they imprison us and lead to our suffering—no matter how long the situation shapes our minds.

Take another deep breath and let it go.

Repeat after me if it serves you.

My mind is a beautiful place. It is a welcoming environment that allows me to process and see the world around me. What I think about grows, and therefore my thoughts bring awareness, allowing me to see each moment unfold. When I observe, I have the power to shift anything that comes before me.  

My thoughts manifest into beliefs, into emotions, and then swiftly become my action. Thinking is the only way things come to be… From now on, I will validate my thoughts through a non-hostile place. I validate truth through a framework of balance and self-love. What is never has to control me if I learn to actively observe.

From now on, each thought that holds my attention is attended to rather than given free rein to root down and stay longer than desired. When negativity and negative energy comes into my awareness, I will welcome it as negativity has as much to teach as positive thoughts and emotions do. When this arises, I will give myself permission to ask, “Why is it here?” “What do you have to teach me?” I will ask for its purpose and know that anxiety, stress, upset, overthinking, or any other negative moment is nothing more than a teacher—a moment to help me witness what is, own what I must, and move myself forward.

I know now that I cannot know what I do want unless I know what I don’t. Contrast in my life, emotions, and thinking is necessary.

Take another full deep breath and let it go.

When I feel anything, I know I have the power to observe and then release it if it doesn’t serve me. Just like the thought and feeling came in, it is free to go, too.

I am allowing myself to be open to what is. I do not need to force only positive thoughts and emotions. I do not need to force anything. I can witness and be open to the process of my life. I am allowing whatever arises to come and be released.

Take another full deep breath and let it go.

Take a moment to notice your thoughts now. Recognize the emotions you are feeling. You do not have to do anything with them – just observe. Be aware.

Instead of trying to push them away, allow them to pass through you. By simply noticing what you are thinking and feeling without judgment and attachment allows you to stay in balance.

Breathe in deeply through your nose and exhale out of your mouth, allowing everything to leave you.

Hold onto this calm. Let everything melt away, and let your centered balance take over.

With every inhale, you feel calmer. With every exhale, you are more centered and less reactive.

Every thought that comes, every emotion that is, belongs in a pause…that gap and space of recognizing, seeing, and letting it move through you.

Your mind is a calm, balanced place. It’s center has never been rooted in negativity. It’s always been centered in a space that is meant to serve you.

Breath in peace. Allow your mind to clear. Relax your muscles, especially the brain. Your thoughts are not controlling you. Your mind is not racing. Your emotions are not pulsing. Everything is still.

Just breath.

Just breath.

Just….breath.

Bring your mind to a new thought, a new mantra that is meant to serve you.

I am centered in peaceful thought.

Enjoy this relief for a moment.

Breathing, remembering that your mind is always there to support you. Just let go.

Just breath.

Repeat after me one more time:

I am centered in peaceful thought.

I am unattached to anything that does not serve me.

When you are ready, open your eyes and come back to your space. Feel the calm that is pulsing through your heart and mind—notice how what was on your mind before has now cleared without stress, without negative emotions, without attachment.

You have the power to witness. You have the power to release. Whenever negative thoughts and emotions begin to build, return to this exercise and allow them to come in and ask: Why are you here? What are you trying to teach me?

And then just breath.

You are centered in peaceful thought. You are unattached to anything that does not serve you.

Anytime you need a moment to come back to center. Repeat these words and lean into your truth. You were born ready to be your highest, truest, and greatest self in the most grounded, unattached, thoughtful way.
