We were never meant to be 24/7 happy and sometimes our mood lowers itself maybe it is a challenge, a loss or maybe we are tired, hungry, in need of a break or maybe that is just the way it is for us right now.
This meditation is based on the longer 'Self Compassion for Low Mood' mindfulness based creating space meditation. It is shorter to help you build it into your day rather than have to take longer breaks from your existing routines. It is up to you longer or shorter exercises all benefit and a change starts to happen with 6/8 mins 'meditation' per day.
This meditation does not look to solve the low mood but rather help you accept and show yourself self compassion because in this moment that is just how it is for you. The meditation helps you create space and recognise you are not your moods, feelings, thoughts and emotions and allowing space allows the possibility of hope, strength and optimism moment by moment. Your identity is separate untouched by the human experience if we allow ourselves to tune in to the moment, moment by moment.

This isn't a meditation about self-care as an occasional activity; it's about creating enough inner space to notice your own needs while remaining deeply connected to others and the things that matter to me. For me this meditation does not decide on the priority of needs importantly it helps me balance my needs and the needs of those things I care about.. in no particular order - my family, my friends, my clients, my work projects, my writing, my doggies, my hobbies, my studies all make up the whole and need to be balanced.

Worry less, stress less and build your confidence. Fiona Chapman MA is a talking therapies therapist, specialising in stress and anxiety. Qualified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy,…
A bit from me about my work - My driving passion and purpose is to make everyone aware that experiencing stress, anxiety, depression and a whole range of negative emotions is about being human and a lack or gap in our education leaves us powerless to work with ourselves to achieve our best experience of successfully being human. All my work and writing looks to address this gap in our education so a successful rather than stressful life becomes a real choice for all of us.
This podcast is a place for you to access the extensive library of mindfulness based meditations some very short and a some longer but all designed to help you fit them into your life to meet your needs. My meditations, tools and techniques combine mindfulness and the neuroscience to support you through stress, anxiety and the challenges of modern day life.
My latest project is my 'Creating Space Method'. Its Core Philosophy is 'Creating space within experience, not escaping it'. This practice is not about removing thoughts or feelings, or stepping away from them. It is about making room for them, so they can be experienced without taking over. “This is here… and you are here… and there is space around it.”
Core Intention of Creating Space
To create space so there is room for being human—
without being dragged down by thoughts, emotions, feelings or pressure.
