Welcome to the meditation minis podcast mind shifting meditations to help you feel better fast with your host hypnotist show

Hamilton. Hello and welcome this meditation is semi-guided which means there's going to be more space in it for you to be with

yourself but at the same time these little reminders to help bring you back to the present moment in case you do get a

little distracted in your mind before we get into the meditation a word from our sponsor better help I think anxiety brain is actually

another way of saying over problem solving mode brain the problem with anxiety brain though is that the problem

solving tends to be in the negative worry side instead of positive solution focused so it can be tough to train our

brains to stay in that solution focused mindset especially when we're faced with challenges in life but as we learn to find our own

solutions there is no better feeling and a therapist can help you become a better problem solver making it easier for you to

accomplish your goals no matter how small or large they may be I am a huge fan of therapy better help is a great

option because it's accessible affordable convenient and entirely online when you want to be a better problem solver therapy can

meditation can be done with your eyes open or with your eyes closed what I invite you to do to begin is to take three to five

purposeful breaths and decide for yourself if you're doing three four or five

breathing in and breathing out and counting them as you do

next what I invite you to do is if there's any area of your body that's experiencing some discomfort or tension

then on the next three breaths just allow yourself to kind of wiggle on the breath in or stretch and then

see if you can settle that section down of your body on the exhales a little bit more

breathing in stretching wiggling and exhaling and settling

now throughout the process you may find that thoughts or feelings come up and if they do that's normal and natural

when you notice it you can smile to yourself about it and just let it go without judgment without self condemnation

just let it go like leaves blowing in the wind or clouds floating in the sky or feather drifting away

and then return your attention to just paying attention to the breath moving in and out of your body
