Flipping the Script
When we are feeling stressed or anxious, it is so easy to find ourselves in a bad mood. While in this bad mood, it is so easy to take the things we have for granted. In this amazing meditation, Brandon has us get relaxed in the present and then through the power of gratitude, we begin to slowly flip the script on how we are feeling.
After consciously taking in a few rounds of deep breaths into my belly and other areas where I felt tension, my body began to relax. Noticing that my mind still had a whirlwind of thoughts moving around, I consciously took in a few more rounds of deep breaths into my body. Feeling my body and mind settle in the present, I began to use the power of gratitude to flip the script from hearing myself complain, essentially allowing external factors to control how I was feeling to taking the reins back into my own hands, essentially choosing how I wanted to feel.
Bringing to mind everything I am grateful for, positive emotions began to rise in my heart and a smile blossomed on my face. Becoming a witness to my body, I no longer felt tension. Becoming a witness to my thoughts, I had the strength to not allow myself to get sucked into any negative ones. Flipping the script, I was thinking of how abundant I am. With gratitude fueling my heart with joy and my body with positive energy, I began to see my day unfolding in my mind’s eye. Setting intentions for how I want to show up, how I want to deal with any challenges, how I want to essentially feel throughout my day, I felt incredibly empowered.
Whether we realize it or not, we bring everything into our life through our thoughts, which rule our motivations, which rule our intention(s). We can allow external factors to disturb us and essentially give away our power or we can flip the script, taking control of the things we can control, which is our attitude and what we consume in regards to thoughts, food, drink, media and the like. Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️
