Welcome.
This meditation is specifically for people who struggle to feel content when they rest.
Some of us move through life feeling like we don't have permission to pause.
Like there are too many unfinished tasks,
Too many responsibilities waiting,
Too many things we should be doing.
Because of that,
Resting can feel unwise or even forbidden.
So,
Let's work on this mentality together.
The truth is that life keeps unfolding.
There will always be things to do,
Responsibilities to tend to,
New ideas worth pursuing,
Jobs that need to get done,
And we suffer if we refuse to take a break.
We end up emotional and burnt out if we try to power through for too long.
So we must learn how to pause and recharge.
Even when it feels like we don't have time for that.
I don't want you to feel upset or burnt out.
So right now,
I'm giving you permission to rest.
You need to.
You need to take time to be comfortable,
To breathe deeply,
To allow your mind and body to recharge,
So you can return to life mentally sharp and physically energized.
So let's get started.
As I state these affirmations,
Breathe deeply and allow these words to become true for you.
I am so happy to take a few minutes to relax.
I know I deserve to recharge.
With every breath,
I feel tension disappear from my body.
I allow myself to pause without guilt.
It is safe for me to slow down.
Rest is productive for my mind,
Body,
And soul.
I don't need to earn my rest.
I am worthy of it right now.
Taking time for myself is a gift that I want to give myself.
Resting helps me show up more fully in my life.
I allow myself to take breaks whenever I need them.
My body appreciates every moment of stillness that I give it.
My mind is grateful for this quiet space to reset.
I choose calm over urgency.
I release the pressure to be constantly doing.
With every exhale,
I let go of the belief that I must always be productive.
I give myself permission to simply be.
In this moment,
Nothing is more important than my well-being.
Resting now helps me thrive later.
I am recharging in a way that supports my future self.
With every breath,
I honor the needs of my body.
I allow myself to rest even when everything isn't finished.
I trust that the world can wait while I care for myself.
I am not defined by how much I accomplish.
I am so grateful that I chose to rest in this safe moment.
I am so grateful that I took this time to recharge.
With every breath,
I release more tension.
I am fully relaxed.
I embrace the peace that comes with slowing down.
I allow this stillness to heal me from the inside out.
My body knows exactly how to restore itself when I let it.
It feels so good to choose peace over pressure.
I let myself unwind one breath at a time.
My mind becomes clearer when I allow myself to slow down.
My energy is renewing with every deep breath.
I have let go of the need to rush.
In this moment now,
I am free from all demands and expectations.
I give myself permission to feel calm and unhurried.
It feels good to know that I am nurturing myself.
Stillness brings me clarity and strength.
Even a few moments of rest makes a big difference in my life.
Letting myself rest now is an act of self-respect.
I feel myself softening into comfort.
Taking this time to rest is part of my growth.
I allow peace to wash over my entire body.
I am so grateful I took this time to care for myself with kindness.
With every breath,
I know that I am recharging.
I will continue nurturing myself gently and intentionally.
With every exhale,
I feel peace wash over me.
I love myself and I allow myself to rest.
Continue taking deep breaths,
Allowing your body and mind to recharge for as long as you need to.
Every moment you choose to slow down is a moment that you choose healing.
You are returning to life with more clarity,
More strength,
And more calm.
You are allowed to pause.
You are allowed to take care of yourself.
Carry this sense of ease with you as you move forward.
And know that you can come back to this space anytime you need a break,
A breath,
Or a reminder that you matter.
Thank you so much for spending this time with me today.
This has been Katie Dwyer with another heartbeat kick meditation.
Be gentle with yourself.
You deserve it.
See you next time.
