Please, if you haven't already gotten a glass of water, get one, maybe even a snack, find a comfy seat and let yourself relax. Let all worries go for the next little while; let yourself get ready for taking in five deep breaths. If you have any breathing problems, take this time to have an extra little mindful moment before we get started. To those joining in the little breathing exercise, get yourself comfy before we begin.
Breath out all the way, time for your first deep breath, take in one deep breath through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1..2.. breath out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. Hold for 1.. breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1..2.. breath out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1.. breathe in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. and hold for 1..2.. breath out for five through your mouth 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1.. two more to go breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. and hold for 1..2.. breath out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1.. last one deep breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1..2.. breath out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1.. now go back to your regular breathing pattern. I hope you feel calm and relaxed.
Faith
Hi Thinking out loud here :D
Welcome to Mindful Monday, week 4
Have faith in the process, whatever it may be that is currently taking place or that you are working on in your life right now. Trust that it will work out, trust in yourself that you can make it happen, believe in yourself and have faith in yourself that you would give to someone else were they to be doing what you are doing. So as corny as it is, to say have faith in the universe, whisper what you want or what you are working on and have faith that it will start happening in the background alongside you making it happen. The two have to work together, so you can't stop just because you've whispered it to the universe; you still need to put in the energy and time.
Trust me when I say I know how hard it can be to keep faith in what you are doing; the number of times I have queried and got nowhere makes it hard to keep writing. Still, I keep writing because I have faith that I will be an author, it may not be the way I first thought it would be, but that doesn't change the fact that I still have faith in what I am doing. Those more challenging days, though, I use them to rest, to rethink the project I am working on, and take the time I need to remember why I am doing what I am doing and that one day what I write might help at least one person, and that is enough for me to carry on having faith in what I do.
It may take time, but the best things in life do take time, don't give up, don't stop working towards whatever it is, and keep believing in yourself, you've got this, and you can do anything. I believe in you, and I have faith in you accomplishing everything you want to achieve; you are an amazing person and deserve all the success in everything you do.
Let's finish with a little three deep breath breather.
Take one breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1..2.. breath out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1.. breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1..2.. breath out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. final breath in through your nose for five 1..2..3..4..5.. hold for 1..2.. final breath out through your mouth for five 1..2..3..4..5.. no hold here you can now go back to your regular breathing pattern.
As always, thank you for reading. I hope you have an amazing day.
Love always Thinking out loud xx :D
