Awareness of Your Problem Without Fixing It Meditation Script

Letting Go of Fixing

When there may be discontentment, the natural habit is to correct it.

The mind goes into “fix-it” mode.

This often ends in circular pondering, trying in vain to unravel an issue.

Although reflection and goal setting are useful, the obsession you experience is usually not.

This exercise offers a way to work with this “fix-it” pondering.

You need to use it in a proper meditation practice and return to it at any point during your day while you notice the mind stuck on a loop of problem solving.

Sit up as straight as possible, inviting alertness into the mind and body.

Take just a few deep breaths, energizing the body.

Begin to tune in to your thoughts.

What problem are you working to unravel?

Is there something specific you desire to determine or fix?

Notice the problem itself, not your thoughts about it.

Try to obviously see what the issue is, relatively than specializing in the answer.

With the “problem” in your mind, notice any discomfort you are feeling around it.

There could also be some fear of the unknown, insecurity, or a desire to plan something.

Whatever your experience is, have a look at the problem with tender awareness.

There’s no need to guage yourself, beat yourself up, or jump right into fixing.

Just be with the discomfort.

As you rest in awareness of the issue to be solved, begin tuning in to the mind and body.
