3-Minute Clarity Meditation: Slow Down To Get Ahead

Close your eyes.

Take a deep breath in.

Hold it at the top.

One more sip.

And then slowly exhale.

Feel yourself arriving fully in this moment.

Now let's take another deep breath.

This time a little deeper.

And a long,

Steady exhale.

With each breath,

Allow your body to soften,

Your mind to settle,

And your energy to realign.

Now silently repeat to yourself.

I slow down to get ahead.

Imagine yourself standing at the edge of a rushing river.

The current is so strong,

Pulling everything in its path forward at an overwhelming pace.

Now picture yourself stepping back from the river's edge.

Instead of forcing your way through the current,

You pause and notice a smooth,

Steady bridge right beside you.

This bridge represents ease,

Clarity,

And alignment.

When you choose to slow down,

You see the paths that were hidden in the rush.

Ask yourself,

Today,

Where might I be able to stop,

Delegate,

Or release in order to slow down?

Maybe there's something you've been carrying that's no longer yours to hold.

Maybe the next step isn't about doing more,

But allowing more ease.

Take one more deep breath in.

And as you inhale,

Imagine yourself stepping onto that bridge,

Moving forward with clarity,

Purpose,

And peace.

One step at a time,

Without judgment of pace.

Now gently wiggle your fingers and toes,

Feeling this energy settle within you.

And when you're ready,

Open your eyes with the knowing that slowing down is the key to getting ahead.

You've got this.
