 Hello, and welcome to the Weekly Meditation for Job Seekers. So today I wanted to teach you a way of making decisions using your body as a guide, and actually in particular your belly. So sometimes when you are in job search you have to make some decisions, and the decisions might be to leave a job, the decision might be to take on a new role, when to leave, when to take on the new role, going back to school, just so many different choices. And typical things, suggestions that can be made to help make those decisions is making pros and cons lists, that sort of thing, but those are often an intellectual decision making, and sometimes I'm somebody who really needs to check my gut for things. And so this is a meditation to invite you that if you have something in your life that you are finding it very difficult to make a decision about, this is just a method of exploring that. We're going to start first by getting comfortable in a seated position. Your seat may be sitting on the floor, preferably cross-legged if that's something that your body can do. And then sitting up, so and then it's great if you can take a pillow or a cushion and put it under your bottom so that your hips are higher than your knees. If sitting on the floor isn't comfortable for you what you can do is sit on a chair with your feet flat and you're sitting towards the front of the chair. And we're going to start by just paying attention to our breath. So we're feeling our breath going in and out and doing what I call just riding the breath, which means you're not trying to control it or change it. It's fine as is, but paying attention to it. We're sitting up straight, our shoulders are relaxed and then just relax them one more time. So if you're sitting with, you know, a big idea, a plan that you have, just take that idea and imagine it in your deep belly and we're just going to sit with that for about a minute and to see how it feels. So you're just paying attention to that idea. Imagine the idea or decision you have to make that it's in your deep belly. We'll sit for just a minute and starting now. And what we're paying attention to is how it feels. So when you think about this idea or this decision or this choice in your body, does it feel light, does it feel like nothing, does it feel heavy, or possibly does it even feel gross? And if it doesn't feel right, if it gives you a feeling that just isn't good, then your question to think about and maybe explore this week is, you know, what needs to happen to make this feel like a better thing and something that you'd like to hold in your life. And if it feels great or if it feels like nothing in light and it feels like you, then some questions to ask is, you know, I guess what's stopping you from taking action on this thing if it feels so right in you. And maybe it's the same as the other. What pieces do you need to put into place because you know that it's what you should be doing. You need to put into place to plan for that. So sometimes sitting with these feelings is a really nice test run before we do the doing. So I hope that was helpful for you. And I look forward to sitting with you next week or sitting with me.
