Calming Anxiety: Guided Meditation for Courage, Confidence, and an Adventurous Life

Are you ready to stop holding back and finally step into the life of adventure you know you deserve?

Welcome to this high-energy session from The Calming Anxiety Podcast. If you've done the work to find calm and are now ready to build courage and fuel your next chapter, this meditation is for you.

This practice is designed to transform the residue of anxiety and self-doubt into pure adventurous energy. We'll focus on cultivating a sense of unshakeable confidence, helping you break free from your comfort zone and make bold choices, whether that means starting a new business, traveling solo, or simply speaking your truth. This is how your new me thrives with courage and adventure.

In this guided session, you will activate:
  • Courage Activation: A powerful guided visualization to tap into your innate bravery and dissolve the fear of action.
  • Confidence Building: Techniques to cultivate the deep, inner strength needed to face uncertainty with excitement rather than dread.
  • The Adventurous Mindset: Learn to view daily challenges as opportunities, replacing overthinking and analysis paralysis with clear, decisive action.
  • Energy and Vitality: A nervous system reset that shifts you from a state of caution to one of energetic readiness and flow.
  • Self-Belief for Success: Anchor a new, potent self-belief that supports your boldest goals and desire for an adventurous life.
It's time to exchange hesitation for momentum. Tune in, embrace your inner adventurer, and start living the bold life you were meant to lead.

sound of my voice to the exclusion of all other thoughts. Just feel your breathing now
with your beautiful mind and allow yourself this moment to unwind, to relax. Feel the way

(01:27):
you inhale, the way your chest expands and rises, maybe how your shoulders move in unison
or the gentle rise and fall of your stomach as well, moving your focus from one part to

(01:48):
another randomly but always opening your tension to the difference and sensation between
the in and the out-right, the rise and the fall, focus like never before but should you

(02:15):
find yourself distracted by random thoughts, daydreams, tasks yet to be completed or maybe
a twitch or that need to swallow. acknowledge these moments whenever they happen, they

(02:36):
are natural but once past bring all your focus back once more to the beauty, the joy,
the focusing and the rhythm of each and every breath, exhale all the negativity, the moments

(03:05):
of stress or regret, the moments of panic, wad out and find peace and balance within the
sanctuary of your mind, out breath after out breath, relax deeper and deeper and deeper

(03:33):
still, just you, this moment in your day and a newfound connection and understanding as
you soothe the turmoil in the monologue of your mind and find acceptance, peace, a new

(04:01):
sense of calm and understanding, relax deeply, safely with every moment, with every word
I say, drifting deeper and deeper and deeper still, so that in the beauty of your mind's

(04:29):
eye, you can see bright and bold these new powerful words of change, you read them on
every out breath repeating them softly yet with conviction with intent, so relax now,

(04:52):
deeper, unwind, visualize and repeat, my new may thrives on courage and adventure,

(05:13):
my new may thrives with courage and adventure,

(05:42):
my new may thrives with courage and adventure, and this can be love from a partner, from
the world around you, from yourself, happiness in the joy of all that you are, in being mindful

(06:12):
of the moments and success in overcoming your past, it can be everything you want it to
be, so relax, unwind, imagine once more and repeat,

(06:39):
my new may thrives on courage and adventure,
my new may thrives with courage and adventure,

(07:20):
my new may thrives with courage and adventure,
deeper and deeper, you allow yourself to drift, to let go, but to find strength and self

(07:46):
worth growing daily in the depths of your beautiful soul, relax once more, unwind,
visualize and repeat, my new may thrives on courage and adventure,

(08:14):
my new may thrives with courage and adventure,
my new may thrives with courage and adventure,

(09:01):
now simply feel your breathing once more, in this calm, intimate state of being, connect
and understand the power you have within, to control the negativity, those fleeting moments

(09:25):
of panic, or doubt and take back control over all that you are, and just drift now, wait
less, time less, now take a deep intake of breath and start to reorient at your thoughts to

(09:53):
set your focus on the challenge, joy and beauty of the world that surrounds us all, take
another deep breath but this time completely fill your lungs to the top, and now stretching
out the muscles in your arms and legs feel every part coming back alive, and then open
your eyes and smile.

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
