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 resolve an issue.

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

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

You can 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 a number of deep breaths, energizing the body.

Begin to tune in to your thoughts.

What problem are you working to resolve?

Is there something specific you need to work out or fix?

Notice the problem itself, not your thoughts about it.

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

With the “problem” in your mind, notice any discomfort you’re 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.
