Morning Intention Daily Guided Meditation for Anxiety, Focus, & Stress Relief

This is calming anxiety. Hi there, and a heart felt welcome to morning intention. Daily guided meditation, for anxiety, focus and stress relief. I'm Martin and I'm so grateful you've chosen this moment for your daily self-care.

This time, these 10 minutes are your precious invitation to pause, breathe and design a happier day before the world brushes in. Gently allow yourself to settle into a comfortable position, whether you're seated in a chair, or still lying down in bed, let your body find his. There is nothing to do right now and nowhere else to be. Give yourself the immense gift of permission to be completely present.

If your mind is already racing ahead, that's okay. Be kind to yourself and simply acknowledge the thoughts without judgement.

Let's connect deeply to our mindful breath work. This is your inner anchor. Gently inhale deeply through your nose, feeling the cool air travel all the way down into your belly, expanding it softly.

And now exhale slowly, feeling the wave of air moving out.

Gently releasing the weight of anything you brought with you into this moment. We'll invite a calming fall count breath to activate the rest and digest system.

So inhale for 4, 3, 2, 1, hold for 1.

Exhale now for 6, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Letting go of any potential morning anxiety or stiffness. Let's continue this gentle, sussain grhythm on our own. Each slow out breath is your conscious choice for stress reduction and inner peace.

In 2, 3, 4, hold out 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

And just let your breathing now find its own natural pace once more. Let's bring our awareness into the body for a mini body scan to fully connect mind and body that feel grounded for the day ahead.

Bring your attention to your feet and feel their connection to the floor or your heels to the bed.

Heavy and supported. Gently move your focus up to your shoulders, noticing if you're holding any tension here.

And on your next out breath, whisper to your shoulders, soften, relax.

Finally, relax the muscles around your jaw, your forehead and your eyes.

You are not trying to fix anything. You are simply observing, meeting yourself where you are, anchoring yourself in the now.

Breathe in, hold, breathe out and release an unwind and love all that you are.

We now move on to our daily affirmation practice, your powerful way to consciously set your positive intentions for the day.

These phrases are designed to build inner strength and cultivate your emotional resilience.

Repeat each one silently in your own thoughts, allowing the truth to the words to settle deep into your heart.

I am calm, my breathing is my safe space. I choose stress relief and inner peace this morning.

I am grateful for this new day. Abundance and good things flow to me effortlessly.

I am just connected once more with the almost hypnotic rhythm of the rise and fall of every breath.

Feel and take note of the changing sensations within and around your chest as you breathe in and as you breathe out.

And understand throughout the day should tension, anxiety or fear come your way.

Bring your mind back to this sense of calm and take back control over the negativity and turmoil of the world around you.

Because simply put, you are worthy. Now take one final deep conscious breath allowing the positive feeling of those affirmations to permeate your entire being, to entwine themselves into the fabric of your soul. Carry a gentle calm focus and the positive intention you have cultivated within you.

It shines like a beacon. You have intentionally anchored yourself in peace, making a powerful conscious choice to design a happier day.

There is no rush. When you are completely ready, wiggle your fingers and toes, stretch out the muscles in your arms and legs, and slowly blink your eyes open, bringing that wonderful sense of ease with you.

I'm not sure about the Apple podcast if I read them or how to get into them, but I do read them on Spotify and I read them if you're listening and watching on YouTube. Take care my friend, smile often, positive thoughts whenever you can. And then in everything, it's simple. Be kind.
