Did you know you can realign in five minutes to reset and let go of pain? Sometimes we need to hit the reset button. The last week I’ve struggled. It’s been a week of sick babies, a few disappointments, and a week of spinning my wheels.
It’s been a week of the back and forth with myself of the “I’m not good enough” and “yes, I’m good enough” game. I had a few ups, followed by a few downs. Isn’t that life though?
Just when it starts to come together, it can just as easily become more difficult. Here is a 5 minute meditation reset technique to help cope when life throws you a curveball or you just aren’t feeling your best mentally.
How To Get Started with a Meditation Reset
I start by coming to my yoga mat and I’m reminded that all the situations are just that – a moment of time. They don’t define me or my life unless I allow them to.
They don’t create hardships or stress unless I allow them to. And they don’t change me unless I allow them to. No one can affect my spirit unless I allow them to.
So I go to my mat and I lie there in prayer. I turn my palms up to God and I let go of the chaos, my overwhelmed mind, and the pain of every day life.
I lie on my mat and surrender. Silently and without trying, I allow my soul to rest. I give myself permission to not live in the situation any longer. Instead, I give myself permission to let the things of this world go. I lie in gratitude of all that I do have.
All the beautiful parts I have to do this practice over and over and over again because I want to cling to my good situations. Each time I get a little stronger. Each time I move beyond the earthly a little more, I strengthen my spirit within, and I find a little more peace.
5 Minute Reset Step-By-Step Instructions
