💛 Guided Daily Meditation to Energize your mental health - Transform Your Life with Metta Meditation: A Guided Practice for Love and Kindness-10 minutes

I practice meditation in the morning before my routine. While you may not see an impact immediately, my clients have noticed a change in their mental health and feelings at peace after 2 weeks. The key Is to train your brain to think positively. You can do it too.

Listening to Meditations & Positive Affirmations has been such a huge part of my own self-development journey and I am so excited to be able to provide these meditations and affirmations as a tool specifically designed to help you on your own journeys to empowerment and enlightenment.

This guided meditation has been inspired by   @JayShettyPodcast.   and Jay's latest book the 8 rules of love. In this session, we explore the practice of Metta meditation, also known as Loving-Kindness meditation. Metta meditation is a powerful tool for cultivating feelings of love, compassion, and kindness towards ourselves and others. In this guided meditation, we will take you through the steps of Metta meditation and teach you how to develop a sense of inner peace and connection to the world around you. With regular practice, Metta meditation can help you reduce stress, improve relationships, and foster a sense of well-being and contentment in your life. Join us for this transformative experience and learn how to harness the power of loving-kindness in your daily life.

💥How to get started?💥

Start small: To develop a meditation habit, it's important to start with small, manageable sessions. Even just a few minutes of meditation per day can make a big difference. Gradually increase the length of your meditation sessions as you become more comfortable with the practice.

Create a routine: Establishing a regular time and place to meditate can make it easier to stick to your meditation habit. Try to meditate at the same time every day, and choose a quiet and comfortable space where you can focus on your practice.

Be consistent: Consistency is key when developing a meditation habit. Even if you miss a day or two, try to get back on track as soon as possible. Regular practice can help build momentum and make it easier to stick to your habit.

Find a style that works for you: There are many different styles of meditation, such as mindfulness, loving-kindness, and transcendental meditation. Experiment with different styles to find the one that works best for you.

Be patient: Developing a meditation habit takes time and patience. Don't get discouraged if you find it difficult to stick to your habit at first. Remember that developing a new habit takes time and consistency, so be patient with yourself and don't give up.

Overall, developing a meditation habit requires patience, consistency and finding the right approach that works for you. With time and consistency, meditation can become a valuable and beneficial habit that could bring positive changes to your life.

Welcome to Episode 8  &  the third in our series of Smart Risks.  In this episode we are exploring the all important tools to help you make better decisions.  Last week we explored some of the decision making biases, this week we paired your profile with some of the biases to watch out for and offer tools to overcome these biases.  In this Pod you will receive quick hacks, larger decision analysis systems and some watch outs for decisions making in teams.

ELEVATE CHALLENGE:
Take the 6Step/Decision tree model and use it to solve a decision you have been mulling over.  Try writing down as much as possible, sleeping on your initial thoughts, then going out and researching the alternatives and probabilities. If this model doesn't work for you try one of the other larger decision systems discussed the OOC/EMR Tony Robbins model, or the decision pre-mortem.

We have all experienced some challenging "stuff" in the past two years, we have probably had a little 'stuffing' knocked out of us, so... 
Are we ready to dust ourselves out? To build our own narrative?  To go in search of a new way of working? To look for opportunities and be ready when they appear? 

In our latest podcast we are diving into further into smart risk taking and unpacking what great decision making looks like, the decision making biases that could be sabotaging you and building your decision making muscle.

ELEVATE CHALLENGE:
Identify a decision you need to make in any aspect of your life that you want to feel a greater level of confidence around what that decision should be. 
Bring that with you to next week’s ep and bounce it off the decision making tools and techniques we’ll be covering to see if one or more of them resonate with you to help you with that decision.

Too often we do not recognise the opportunities available to us for what they are.  We hold back from speaking up, are too busy to take on that extra project, avoid what is uncomfortable, or maybe don't quite believe in ourselves.  There are so many conscious and unconscious biases out there that we really could be holding ourselves back from our own future success. 
This is the first in a series of 4 pods were we are going to dig into Smart Risk Taking.  

Hold onto your hats as things are about to get very real, very practical and very exciting as we reveal your risk profile, some seriously sticky biases & some handy tools and hacks to move you forward.  
Know thy self so you can be the best of yourself!  
We are so looking forward to sharing these pods with you!

ELEVATEE CHALLENGE: 
This week a chance to learn more about yourself with a short 10 question risk profile. 

https://formfaca.de/sm/mrvQZnYLq

With this new found awareness on your risk profile, you will understand what your natural setting is and in following weeks we will provide further insights into likely biases and hacks to getting the most out of yourself whether you are a risk mitigator or the ultimate risk taker.

SHOW NOTES: 
A couple of quotes for our topic today:

• Gail Kelly - Back yourself, even if you are not quite ready
• Susan Jeffers - Feel the Fear and do it anyway

This episode we are bringing you a book review of THE ONE THING, The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results, by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan. 

Having found this book a couple of months into our Elevate with Grace planning we just had to share it as part of our podcast series as there are some terrific synergies with our purpose of curating the amazing content that’s out there in the world into bite sized actionable steps for you to take you on your journey of leading a life of success on your own terms, as defined by you.

Listen in to learn more about taking back your time with a focus on your 'IMPORTANT' time and not 'URGENT' times. 

Elevate Weekly Challenge:
What is the ONE THING they can do this week to help them reach their goals.  Take action on your first domino, and then the next towards your dreams.  The constant mantra of this book - what’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary.

Check out The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results book.  Affiliate link: booktopia.kh4ffx.net/elevate

Top 10 Quotes from the book:

• “Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls-- family, health, friends, integrity-- are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”
• "Life is about creating yourself so the trick to success is to choose the right habits with enough discipline to master it."
• “Extraordinary results happen only when you give the best you have to become the best you can be at your most important work.”
• “Your next step is simple. You are the first domino.”
• “Don’t let small thinking cut your life down to size. Think big, aim high, act bold. And see just how big you can blow up your life.”
• “A different result requires doing something different.”
• “One of the most empowering moments of my life came when I realized that life is a question and how we live it is our answer.”
• “Achievers always work from a clear sense of priority.”
• “Long hours spent checking off a to-do list and ending the day with a full trash can and a clean desk are not virtuous and have nothing to do with success. Instead of a to-do list, you need a success list—a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results.
  
  To-do lists tend to be long; success lists are short. One pulls you in all directions; the other aims you in a specific direction. One is a disorganized directory and the other is an organized directive. If a list isn’t built around success, then that’s not where it takes you. If your to-do list contains everything, then it’s probably taking you everywhere but where you really want to go.”
• “People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures.” —F. M. Alexander
