00:02:41
Just more intentional.
43

00:02:42
So get comfortable, sit or
lie down, however feels good.
44
:
00:02:48
Close your eyes.
45
:
00:02:49
If that feels right.
46
:
00:02:51
Take a slow, deep breath
in and let it out fully.
47
:
00:02:56
One more inhale, calm, exhale, tension.
48
:
00:03:02
This is your moment just for you.
49
:
00:03:10
Bring your attention to any
expectations, comparisons, or
50
:
00:03:15
pressures you've been carrying.
51
:
00:03:17
The shoulds, the I have tos, the
noise from everyone else's opinions.
52
:
00:03:23
With every inhale, feel a wave
of calm energy filling your body.
53
:
00:03:28
With every exhale.
54
:
00:03:30
Imagine letting go of those pressures,
picture them, leaving your body soft,
55
:
00:03:35
like smoke dissipating into the air.
56
:
00:03:38
Silently repeat.
57
:
00:03:40
I release what isn't mine.
58
:
00:03:41
I reclaim my energy.
59
:
00:03:45
Take a few more deep breaths here.
60
:
00:03:47
Feel the weight lifting.
61
:
00:03:49
Your energy belongs to you.
62
:
00:03:52
No one else.
63
:
00:03:58
Now let's bring your energy back home.
64
:
00:04:00
Imagine a warm radiant ball of light
at the center of your chest, your
65
:
00:04:05
power, your confidence, your peace.
66
:
00:04:08
With every inhale, draw it inward.
67
:
00:04:11
With every exhale, feel it
settle deeper into your body.
68
:
00:04:15
This is your energy.
69
:
00:04:17
Yours to steward yours to
protect silently repeat.
70
:
00:04:21
My energy is mine.
71
:
00:04:23
I protect it.
72
:
00:04:24
Visualize your borders
gently expanding around you.
73
:
00:04:28
Safe, secure, untouchable.
74
:
00:04:31
You are grounded.
75
:
00:04:32
You are present.
76
:
00:04:33
You are fully here.
77
:
00:04:43
Now, picture the life you
want to live this year.
78
:
00:04:46
Not a list of resolutions, but the
intentions that will guide you.
79
:
00:04:50
Ask yourself, what does
it feel like to live with?
80
:
00:04:54
Freedom, confidence, and peace.
81
:
00:04:57
Visualize yourself taking one small
action this week to honor that intention.
82
:
00:05:03
See it clearly in your mind.
83
:
00:05:05
Feel yourself doing it
with ease, joy, and pride.
84
:
00:05:10
Silently repeat.
85
:
00:05:11
I move through my year with
intention, not obligation.
86
:
00:05:15
Notice how this feels in your body.
87
:
00:05:18
Let it settle.
88
:
00:05:20
Let it anchor you.
89
:
00:05:23
If you want, grab your journal
later and jot down this intention.
90
:
00:05:28
It's a seed you'll nurture all year.
91
:
00:05:32
Now, bring to mind anything people,
habits or situations that drain
92
:
00:05:38
you see them softly floating
away outside your energy field.
93
:
00:05:43
At the same time, imagine your
uplifting circle, the people,
94
:
00:05:48
routines, and spaces that energize you.
95
:
00:05:51
Staying close, protected,
vibrant, silently repeat.
96
:
00:05:56
I protect my peace.
97
:
00:05:58
I choose what serves me.
98
:
00:06:00
Feel your boundaries.
99
:
00:06:01
Strengthen naturally
calm, firm, and loving.
100
:
00:06:07
Take a moment to sense.
101
:
00:06:08
Your energy fully returned to you.
102
:
00:06:11
Strong, grounded, untouchable.
103
:
00:06:17
Take a few more slow breaths.
104
:
00:06:21
Feel your body, mind, and heart
lighter, more grounded, more aligned.
105
:
00:06:28
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes.
106
:
00:06:31
When you're ready, softly open your eyes.
107
:
00:06:35
Carry this feeling forward into
the rest of your day, your week,
108
:
00:06:40
your January, your new year.
109
:
00:06:45
Your peace is your power radiant icon.
110
:
00:06:48
Your energy is your own.
111
:
00:06:50
And remember, you don't need to
become someone new this year.
112
:
00:06:56
Just more intentional.

:
00:07:03

protecting your peace in the new year
