A reset for the middle of the day, wherever you happen to be. Sat at a desk, sat in the car, it does not matter.

About 13 minutes with Steven Webb's calm voice.

Sounds first, including the gaps between my words, because all of it is arriving and none of it needs anything from you. Then a scan down the body, giving each bit of tension permission rather than forcing it. Then the affirmations. I am calm and centred. I release the stress that does not serve me.

Treat me to a coffee, keep the podcast free, and get my Weekly Calm every Sunday. It is all on stevenwebb.uk

Thank you for sitting with me.

Welcome to Reset Meditation for Calm, Wisdom and Confidence.

I'll just let you settle in a moment. It doesn't matter whether you're sat down or lying down or whether

you're sat on a seat or in a car. This meditation is just a little bit of a reset and

to build us up ready for the rest of the day. So as you find a quiet space where you

won't be disturbed,

just become comfortable. Shake out your arms. Shake out your body a little bit.

And just allow your body to settle into this moment.

Allow your body to relax

and Relaxing isn't something we do isn't something you can force your body to do. It's something that you allow

your body to do. It knows how to relax, just the same as it knows how to breathe. We don't

need to get involved.

And when you're ready, just gently close your eyes. Or lower your gaze and soften it just a few feet

in front of you.

Whatever you feel more comfortable with.

And just take a moment to notice the sounds.

Any sounds that are around us. My voice. My words or the gaps between the words.

What's really important is that all these things are arising but we don't need to do anything with them.

And now just bring your attention to your breath.

Breathing in calm. Breathing out, relax.

And

relax.

you. don't need to do anything with your breath.

Your body knows how to breathe. We don't need to get involved.

you. may notice the rise and fall of your chest.

And maybe invite your body just to relax on each out breath for the next five breaths.

And with each breath it will relax just a little more.

This moment is perfect for doing exactly what we're doing.

There's nothing your mind needs to do. Just be aware of your breath.

And although your mind may wander, that's fine. Just smile and bring it back to your breath.

It's important not to get frustrated or annoyed by it because that's what the mind does. The

mind has evolved to think, to

just come up with stuff.

It's just bringing it to your attention.

Smile gently and thank you. But

we're sitting here and we're breathing.

That's all we need to do in this moment.

And keeping some awareness on your breath. Just scan through your body, starting from the top of your head. And

you mentally scan all the way down through your body, looking for any tension or any discomfort.

And as you exhale, imagine releasing any of that tension, letting it just melt away.

And continue scanning different parts of your body. And

when you notice any pockets of tension, just give it permission to relax.

And then it automatically, any tension fades away and melts

it almost like it's been waiting for you to give it permission

And continue all the way to your toes.

And just before we start on the affirmations,

just bring your awareness back to your breath and notice your breath going in. You

may notice the coolness on the tip of your tongue or maybe in your nose.

you. may notice it's slightly warmer as you exhale.

And notice the whole world seems a little quieter.

The body seems a little quieter. The mind is just a little quieter.

As I say these affirmations, imagine them throughout your whole body. Repeat them silently in your mind

and What would it be like to fully embody each one?

I am calm and centred.

What's it like to feel calm and centred?

I release any stress or tension that does not serve me.

I release any stress or tension that does not serve me.

I am grounded in this present moment.

I am grounded in this present moment

With each breath I create space for stillness and clarity

With each breath, I create space for stillness and clarity.

I have all the wisdom to navigate the rest of my day.

I have all the wisdom to navigate the rest of my day.

And maybe if you just place your hand on your heart. And just really feel this throughout your whole body.

I

am calm, wise and confident.

I'm calm, wise and confident.

Visualize a little spark of light or energy within your chest heart area.

This is a really pure white light that is full of energy and full of confidence and wisdom.

It's your innermost wisest teacher. It's your innermost voice of clarity.

It's your innermost voice of confidence. And

imagine this light growing brighter throughout your whole body that

gets larger with every breath, filling your entire being.

you. are powerful and capable, ready to face any challenge

Now just silently express the gratitude for this moment. The stillness and the strength from within.

Your wisest voice.

Your most confident voice.

Your calmest version of you.

Thank you. And really feel the gratitude.

Now bring your attention back to the room and maybe the sounds you notice around you, the temperature on your

face, and how your body feels. Feel

the seat that you're sat on.

Wiggle your fingers and toes. Then stretch your arms and legs if you so wish. And when you feel

ready, open your eyes and look around and feel this confidence. Feel this pure light and energy and all those

voices inside of you that are really there and ready for today.

Take a deep breath and just really feel the gratitude for this moment.

Thank you.
