In today’s episode, we’ll guide you through a morning meditation to help you start your day with calm and clarity, even when it’s packed with tasks and responsibilities. This meditation focuses on grounding you in the present, helping you face each moment with ease, rather than feeling overwhelmed by everything at once.

This meditation includes:

• A Gentle Breathing Practice: Begin by connecting to the natural rhythm of your breath, allowing each inhale and exhale to ground you in the moment.
• Insights on Overwhelm: Discover how feelings of overwhelm often stem from focusing on the future. By bringing your awareness back to the present, you can release some of that tension.
• Guided Visualization: Visualize your day as a path with each task as a stone in a stream. Take on each moment calmly, trusting in your ability to handle everything in due time.
• Affirmations to Ground Yourself: Affirm your commitment to approaching each task with calm and ease, knowing you are enough to meet whatever comes your way.

This meditation reminds you that:

• You don’t need to tackle the whole day at once; simply take each moment as it comes.
• Overwhelm can be a signal to slow down and focus on the present.
• You have the strength and wisdom to face today’s tasks with calm and confidence.

• Breath Awareness (2 minutes): Begin by bringing gentle attention to your breath.
• Insight on Overwhelm (2 minutes): Learn how to transform feelings of overwhelm by staying present.
• Guided Visualization (5 minutes): Picture yourself moving calmly through each part of your day.
• Closing Affirmations and Grounding (2 minutes): Affirm your ability to handle one task at a time, carrying this sense of calm with you.

Set aside a few minutes to join in this peaceful practice. Remember, all you need to do right now is be here, breathing and grounding yourself for the day ahead.

A Special Update: 500 Miles and a Heavy Heart – Philosophical Musings from the Road

Support the podcast and help keep it free for everyone by treating Steven to a coffee at stevenwebb.uk.

Episode Description:

In this heartfelt special episode, Steven Webb shares his deep reflections from the road as he reaches the halfway mark of his incredible 500-mile journey around Cornwall in his electric wheelchair. Undertaken to raise funds for the Cornwall Air Ambulance—the very service that saved his life 33 years ago—this journey is more than a physical challenge; it's a meditation on life, purpose, and the bonds we share.

Amidst the physical exhaustion and the focus required to navigate roads not designed for wheelchairs, Steven receives news of a dear friend's passing. This friend, who shared a similar life journey, prompts Steven to contemplate mortality, the value of seizing the day, and the importance of helping others. He delves into the inner dialogues we all experience—the committee of voices that either propel us forward or hold us back—and emphasizes the choice we have in which voices we listen to.

This episode is a raw and honest exploration of finding meaning in the moment, the nourishment that comes from helping others, and the simple yet profound purposes that guide us daily.

Quotes from the Episode:

• "It's a celebration that we're still here. If you're listening to this, you're alive."
• "Try to find something in life you love. And just do that. And I don't mean in a 'find your purpose' because I think finding your one life purpose, I think that's bollocks. I think your purpose right now is if you're cold, put on a jumper."

Thank you for joining Steven on this journey. Your support and understanding mean the world to him. Regular episodes and new meditations will resume soon. Until then, embrace the present, listen to the encouraging voices within, and consider how you might help someone else today.

This simple meditation for overwhelm was recorded while I was feeling overwhelmed myself, and it starts in the first person perspective because I'm talking you through what I do, and then we go through the journey together.
