00:00Sit or lay so the soles of your feet are touching the ground.
00:05Having your feet planted on the floor will help you feel grounded and less anxious.
00:14Notice your breath.
00:17Allowing it to become slow and gentle.
00:30And start to relax your hands, unfurling your fingers.
00:41Relaxing the back of your neck.
00:48And the tops of your shoulders.
00:53Letting go of more muscle tension with each out breath.
01:00Notice when you breathe in, how your chest fills up, your belly expands, and as you exhale, the belly relaxes and the chest falls back.
01:30Take three more breaths, focused on the belly and chest rising and falling.
02:00Keep breathing slowly like this.
02:11Slow breaths calm your body.
02:15From your feet to your head, mentally scan your entire body and when you feel some tension, purposefully try to let go of the hold on your muscles.
02:40Breathe into that area and enjoy the release.
03:40And while you're nice and relaxed, think about your new upcoming class or job.
03:54Or whatever this new chapter in your life entails.
04:00You may have been worrying about it.
04:12And worrying can make you feel less than your best.
04:18So if you notice any anxiety come up for you right now, mentally scan your body again for tension.
04:27And allow it to relax.
04:47It's okay to have negative thoughts about this new chapter in your life.
04:52Maybe you're worried about being in a new place.
04:56Perhaps you feel you will be out of your depth.
05:00You might think you won't make new friends.
05:05And having these thoughts is okay because many people feel anxious about starting something new.
05:22When a negative thought comes up for you about your new class or new job, acknowledge it.
05:32Allow it to pass.
05:35And thank your body for looking after you.
05:39But let it know you can handle it from here.
05:43Then focus on something else.
05:47Be mindful of something going on in the room.
05:51Use your senses to focus on the noises, the smells, the light, the temperature.
06:00That moment of anxiety will pass. It always does.
06:23Excitement and nervousness feels the same in your body.
06:39Take a moment now to think about this new chapter with a feeling of excitement.
06:46Moving yourself from nervous to excited.
06:53Maybe someone you are destined to meet, who will have a significant impact on your future, is going to be there.
07:09This one new direction may change your future for the better.
07:16Your life will become more rich because you are moving forward.
07:31You're in it for the long game and this is just one day.
07:48But it's leading you toward further possibilities.
07:52Continue with your steady, fluid breath.
08:09Feel the sensation of openness to this new beginning.
08:15Imagine this one event now opening the doors for other opportunities.
08:42Now let's round off with some affirmations.
08:50You can just listen, repeat them after me or just say them silently to yourself, whatever works for you.
09:03I am open to new experiences.
09:12I grow in confidence as I try new directions.
09:26I am on a daring adventure through life.
09:41I am transforming my life.
09:52I expand in love, knowledge and success every day.
10:05My best is yet to come.
10:18I'll steadily feel safer in my new environment.
10:30I take every new direction step by step.
10:42Today is another opportunity to turn the page and begin a new chapter.
11:00Simply continue breathing.
11:22You can do anything as long as you take a breath.
11:41Feeling relaxed, breathing naturally, visualize a golden light.
11:51Breathe in and see yourself completely encased in a sphere of golden light that is designed to protect you.
12:03It glitters and shimmers as you move through your day.
12:10It's your secret defense against any negativity.
12:21It's time to start coming back to the present moment.
12:32Begin to notice the sounds in the room.
12:43When you are ready and in your own time, open your eyes.
12:56Feeling calm, confident and relaxed.
13:06Feeling calm, confident and excited to face the possibility of something new and amazing.
13:23Thank you for choosing to relax with Generation Calm.
