Still Meditations + Motivation: Discussions, Mindfulness and Positive Affirmations Podcast

Start your day with a short positive morning meditation. Being grateful and appreciating this new day.

Forgiving others helps us to remove guilt and shame and move forward with our lives. It helps us to lead a life with compassion and kindness.

It is important to forgive ourselves in order to move forward positively with our lives. We need to forgive ourselves for the mistakes that we make. We are only human.

Learning to forgive ourselves for things that have upset or hurt other people is important to remove feelings of guilt or shame. This is essential for us to move forward positively. Also, forgiving others who may have hurt us. We can also get caught up in guilt and shame and blame ourselves for what other people have done to us. This can affect how we feel about ourselves. We can make ourselves feel like bad people. We need to forgive them too to move forward.

A short meditation on noticing thoughts. Do you get stuck in thoughts of the past or thoughts of the future? Use this meditation to ground yourself back in the moment with your breathing and notice when your thoughts drift off to the past or future.

A short 5 minute guided meditation focusing on the sounds around you. This helps ground you in the present moment and bring you back to here and now. Use this any time you find thoughts wandering into the last or the future.

Our self narrative is what we consciously and unconsciously tell ourselves about who we are. Do you tell yourself positives about who you are? Or, do you listen to negatives from the external world or other people? Change your self narrative and self talk to be positive and consciously focused on the positive.

Accepting ourselves and loving ourselves is key to improving our vibration and being happy. Try this positive affirmation each day to accept and love yourself.

All too often we look towards others to make us feel loved or good about ourselves. Only we can make ourselves feel truly loved or good. It is up to us to love ourselves.
