Hey there! My name is Karin Korb and today, I'm going to be talking to you about meditation.
You may think, "Ugh! Meditation. That is so hard. It is so boring."
But I've got a fun daily exercise for you.
Meditation is literally all about focusing your mind intentionally.
And that is just what we're going to do with today's growth and gratitude exercise.
Let's get ready to build our mindfulness muscles!
All you'll need for today is a notebook, pen, and a willingness to be honest with yourself.
Take five minutes out of your morning (just 5 minutes) to write down five things that you would like to experience.
This could be anything from- I don't know, getting your dream home to
developing more self confidence. Literally the sky is the limit!
You can chose to write on physical paper or visualize writing it on paper in your mind.
Now all you have to do is focus on what you have written down.
Say each sentence out loud or simply play it in your mind.
I am manifesting abundance in every part of my life.
What we're doing here is quieting our minds and focusing on one central idea.
And we're working towards what we call in meditation "manifesting our personal goals."
Now, imagine it's the end of the day.
You've just come home after a very long day.
And perhaps, like me, you're a little bit restless or- I don't know, irritable.
Let's turn that around with part two of our daily practice.
Now, we're going to do the same thing we did this morning but with gratitude.
We're going to write down at least five things that you're truly thankful for.
This can be your dog (I mean for me, it's my cats), your job, or maybe it's just your ability to breathe.
We're going to ground ourselves, quiet our minds, and we're just going to give thanks.
Just like before, you're now going to focus on those things.
You can repeat them in your head or you can speak them out loud.
I am grateful for my family. I am grateful, so grateful for my family.
They key is to practice this every day, so it becomes a practice.
Simple activities like this can literally help you make mindfulness an everyday part of your life.
It's just five minutes. Five things!
Thank you for your time and, more importantly, your honesty today. Stay mindful.
