    Here’s a Sample of the “Motivation When You are Unmotivated” Guided Meditation Script:

    Let’s begin by taking a moment to settle your body into a comfortable position (2 seconds).You may close your eyes or keep them slightly open with a soft focus looking downward a few feet in front of you (2 seconds).Allow your spine to lift and for your shoulders to soften (5 seconds).Today we will practice remembering motivation (2 seconds) Taking a full breath in (2 seconds) and a long slow breath out (2 seconds).Allow the mind to rest on the breath (5 seconds).Call to mind something where you might be feeling a lack of motivation (5 seconds).Perhaps it’s with a task at work or a project you’ve been putting off at home (2 seconds).

    Maybe it’s repairing a relationship issue with a friend or family member (5 seconds).As you envision this issue, listen to these questions lightly and see what comes up (5 seconds) there’s no need to figure anything out, if nothing comes to mind just continue to focus on the breathand notice what thoughts ariseletting them pass through your mind as if carried by a gentle breeze (5 seconds).Ask yourself, “when it comes to this issue what is my greatest aspiration?” (10 seconds) What about this issue is most important to me? (15 seconds) What might be getting in the way of me addressing this issue? (15 seconds) How do I want to show up in relationship to this issue? (15 seconds)
