Thank
you for joining me. I’d like to share a short guided meditation to help you
emerge from this restrictive situation in a better condition than you were when
you entered it. I’m Linda-Ann Stewart, a vision strategist and hypnotherapist.
The
pandemic and shut-down have created sudden change in our society and world.
Many of these changes are going to be temporary and some are going to be
permanent. Life is always changing, but usually it does so at a slightly slower
pace. This one has happened almost overnight.
If
you get stuck in fear or negativity, then it’s likely you not going to be able
to respond in a productive way. When you can think differently about a
situation, this causes you to make different decisions and act in a way that’s
more beneficial for you. That’s what this guided meditation is designed to help
you to do.
If
you’d like, close your eyes. If not, just lean back, relax and listen.
Life
is full of change. Any change is messy and uncomfortable to go through, but it
generally leads to a better world. It’s human nature to resist change, but
change happens anyway.
The
sooner you can get to a level of acceptance of the change, the easier it will
be for you to adapt to what’s happened. You accept the reality of change now,
and make choices that improve your ability to adjust to the changes.
You
shift into responding to the situation in a safe and positive way, taking care
of your health and well being. You open up to new knowledge and understanding
that helps propel you forward.
You
have the ability to come through this situation stronger and better than
before. Your inner resources find a way to create a wonderful, improved life
for you.
Imagine
that the situation is a transition to a new, and better reality for you. You
may not understand how it could be better, but just imagine being in the
future, and you feel wonderful.
Imagine
looking back, into the past, and being satisfied that you have come through it
happier, healthier and more whole. And now you look into the future that is
brighter and better than you could ever have imagined.
Open
your eyes.
A
guided meditation such as this can help you keep your thoughts positive and
open the way for a better life. Take the ideas from the meditation and use it
every day to support you in your next steps to your future.

“Good appears in every aspect of my life. There is no area that is untouched. My mind, my body, and all of my affairs are all flooded by a greater abundance, harmony, and power.”
By placing your attention on allowing every good thing to come to you, you’re automatically raising your consciousness to accept more good. That good can be anything you desire. It’s available to you now, you simply have to open your mind to encompass it.
When some difficult situation comes up, the automatic response is to react to it from an habitual place. Instead, use it as a way to practice your spiritual beliefs. Look for the silver lining, use compassion, seek understanding, view it from a broader perspective in relationship to your whole life. This isn’t easy, especially when challenges bring up fear, anger or guilt. Take a mental step back, out of the trees, so that you can see the forest. In doing so, you’ll raise your consciousness and encourage your subconscious mind to discover the blessing in the situation.
During this crisis, people are feeling stuck, stressed and off balance. It’s hard to think clearly or to know what you can do that’s productive and positive. So most people just remain immobilized. Here’s a simple strategy you get you back in control, reduce your stress, and allow you to regain your balance.

Thank
you for joining me. I’m Linda-Ann Stewart, a vision strategist. Today, I’d like
to talk a little bit about how you can reduce some of the stress you may be
feeling as a result of our current crisis. We’re in unknown territory.
Everyone
is feeling out of their depth and off balance. They’re worried about their
health and that of their loved ones, worried about finances, and uncertain
about how long this crisis will last. All of this worry and uncertainty causes
stress. And with stress, it’s hard to make rational decisions. We react, and
can’t think clearly of how to respond in a productive way.
Instead,
it’s human nature to either fight, freeze or try to flee from the danger. We
either feel angry, immobilized or fearful. It’s nature’s way of helping us deal
with a threat, right? Well, we can’t fight a virus. I mean hand-to-hand combat.
And we certainly can’t flee from it while we’re quarantined, can we? However, people have complained the most to me about feeling
frozen, stuck or helpless.
The
way out of feeling stuck is to move, to actively do something positive. There
are a lot of things you can’t control or do anything about right now. But what
can you control? You can control your actions and attention. So focus on what
you can do, just one thing you can do.
What
one positive thing can you do today that will make you feel like you
accomplished something? It could be as simple as taking a shower, changing out
of your pajamas or changing a light bulb. That’s your first step. When you get
one thing done, no matter how small, it will give you encouragement to do
something else. You could reach out to a loved one or friend. Send a greeting card.
Try out a new recipe. Do something creative.
As
you take action, it becomes easier to do it again. Feeling in control reduces
the feelings of stress, which means you’ll be able to think more clearly. You
may be able to plan for what’s next. Who knows? You might even end up cleaning
out the garage. Maybe. No pressure. But even if you don’t achieve that massive
task, you will still have been able to regain your sense of balance, by just
doing one thing at a time.

Thank you for watching. My wish for you is to stay well, physically, mentally and emotionally.
To open your mind and unlimit your thinking, consider, “What if?” What if things flowed smoothly for you? What if opportunities fell in your lap? What if what you thought was a disaster turned out to be the best thing that could have happened? Play with the possibilities to unstick your mind from the rut it’s in. Don’t be attached to any of the ideas you come up with, just daydream to lift your energy and get it moving again.
So many stimuli compete for your attention each day that by the end of it, your brain feels like scrambled eggs. You can prevent that from happening by being more conscious of how you divide your attention over specific tasks. Here are three ways to keep your focus flowing.
Negative thoughts only affect you if you give them power. But all too often they catch your attention and disturb your effectiveness. But you have the ability to turn that around and reduce their damage. You have control over your mind, and this article gives you some direction on how to take charge.
The imposter syndrome typically happens to high achieving individuals who have a hard time adjusting to their success. It refers to the fear of being found out that their success is due to luck and not their abilities. This article explores this syndrome so you can understand it more fully and suggests ways to combat it.
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.”- Marcus Aureleus
This statement was written almost 2000 years ago. Even then, they knew how your thoughts affected your life. Your subconscious takes the average of your thoughts, both constructive and destructive, and manifests whatever seems to be strongest. That’s why you’re instructed to watch what you think, and stay positive.
When you are having trouble getting positive about your life, write out how you’d like your life to be. Don’t be concerned with the details of how those things could happen, just script out what you’d like it to look and feel like. Feel how it is to have it the way you want. Get excited and enthusiastic. As you’re creating the script, you may come up with some ideas of what to do to move it along. Get those down, and then pick one to act on. Emotion is what gets things moving, and positive emotion opens the floodgates for the Universe.
