I Need a Fresh Start Today | Guided Meditation to Let Go of Yesterday

If you've woken carrying the weight of yesterday, if some quiet part of you is ready to let go of the past and simply begin again, then take a slow breath because this is exactly where you're meant to be. Each day is a new beginning, a fresh start, a clean slate, a blank page that is yours to write, and the next 10 minutes are yours to gently set a positive tone for the day. This is your guided meditation for a positive life. Welcome to calming anxiety.

I'm Martin Hewlett and I'm so glad you've chosen to start your day here with me. There's nothing to do now and nowhere to be. Let my voice do the work and let this be the calm, positive beginning, your day begins.

Let's begin by finding your quiet place now, somewhere comfy to sit or lie down where you won't be disturbed and if it's safe, gently close your eye and reach out with your mind to feel your breathing. No need to change it, no need to control it, just feel it. Feel your chest gently lift as the breath arrives and feel it soften as the breath leaves.

There is no rhythm to reach for. You're simply noticing the quiet lift and the slow, warm release and here is where the calm lives in the out breath. Each time you breathe out, feel that small, quiet beauty at the end of every exhale, that gentle letting go. And then the freshness of this new day and let the out breath carry away anything that you no longer need to hold.

With every soft exhale, you allow yourself to settle a little deeper and a calm, positive energy begins to fill the space the tension left behind. Nothing to do, nowhere to be, just you, this breath and the beginning of a beautiful day.

Expand your awareness and feel truly intimately. Be almost hypnotic rhythm as a rise and form of every breath.

Maybe notice one area of your chest and examine the difference, incensation there between the in breath and the out breath. And then imagine that genuine sense of release of deep relaxation with every out breath.

Now growing, intensifying and expanding, flowing out over your chest and into every fiber of your being. And with every exhalation, imagine yourself drifting ever deeper, further and further down to be held in this natural, trans-like state.

Just you, this singular moment in your lifeline and a connection of mind, body and soul as one, with a new way of thinking, clarity and balance.

Relax now and then let these words settle into you. No need to say them aloud, just let each one feel true, visualise them and relax.

Each day is a new beginning and today I choose a positive life.

I let the past stay in the past, this moment is my fresh start.

My heart is open, my mind is clear and I welcome this new day with a positive mind.

I am enough exactly as I am and I have all I need to begin again. Today is a clean slate and I set a gentle positive tone for all that lies ahead.

Let those truths drift down and settle. Take morning light, filling a room and as you breathe we'll let them come around once more, quieter now as though they're already part of who you are. Each day is a new beginning and today I choose a positive life.

I let the past stay in the past, this moment is my fresh start.

My heart is open, my mind is clear and I welcome this new day with a positive mind. I am enough exactly as I am and I have all I need to begin again.

Today is a clean slate and I set a gentle positive tone for all that lies ahead.

The four we step back into your day, here are your three daily care and tips to carry this new beginning with you. Step one, set one positive intention. Before you reach for your phone, choose a single word or feeling for today. Calm, kind, open, brave, just one, let it be your quiet compass, gently setting a positive tone for the hours ahead.

Two, catch one small beauty. Where today, a tiny moment of beauty is waiting, steam rising from a cup, light through a window, a familiar voice. Notice just one and let yourself feel grateful for it. Gratitude is how a new day becomes a good day.

And three, you can always begin again. If the day slips and the calm fades, remember this, a fresh start isn't only for the morning, a new beginning is always just one breath away. You can choose calm and choose it again as many times as you need. Now gently begin to come back, wiggle your fingers and toes and now a deep breath in and then let a long, slow, easy breath out, stretching out the arms and rolling your shoulders.

And when you're ready, open your eyes to this new beginning. If today felt like the fresh start you needed, you can keep this calm with you every single day.
