8-Minute Video Meditation to Focus on the Good

Lean into the goodness

Getting Started

• Find a quiet place to sit comfortably upright—at the edge of your bed, on the floor, or in a chair

• Close your eyes and tune into the breath or another point of focus to be fully present

• Relax your body—loosen your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and soften your brows

So much of our waking time is spent juggling the many tasks we need to cross off our to-do list. Our days are on autopilot, more often than not, and we focus on what's next rather than look back on all the things that went right. We pride ourselves on the results of a project or how much we were able to get done rather than how well we are doing what we're doing at the moment.

The next time we're faced with a seemingly never-ending day of things to do, make it a point to recognize the overwhelm when it comes up. Then, break your priorities into smaller chunks or take things one day at a time. Congratulate yourself on the goodness of what you are doing with the help of this meditation.
