Overcome anxiety and overthinking guided meditation script:
Below is a step-by-step guide through davidji’s guided meditation practice:
Step 1: Find a quiet place
Begin by finding a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed. Sit or lie down in a relaxed position, closing your eyes gently.
Step 2: Focus on your breath
Take a deep breath in, filling your lungs completely, and then exhale slowly. Repeat this a few times, allowing your breath to become steady and natural. Focus on the sensation of your breath as it enters and leaves your body.
Step 3: Bring awareness to your thoughts
As you settle into your breathing, bring open awareness to any anxious thoughts or worries that may be present. Acknowledge them without judgment, simply observing their presence.
Step 4: Visualize the beach
Imagine yourself standing on a beach, watching the waves crash against the shore. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face and the cool breeze on your skin. Picture the birds flying overhead and the vast, open sky above.
Step 5: Embrace trust
In this peaceful setting, invite a sense of trust into your heart.
- Trust in the universe.
- Trust in yourself.
- Trust that everything will unfold as it should.
Allow this trust to wash over you, dissolving any anxiety or overthinking.
Step 6: Release anxiety
As you continue to breathe deeply and evenly, visualize your anxiety and worries slipping away, just like the waves receding back into the ocean. Feel the lightness and clarity that comes with letting go.
When you are ready, gently open your eyes and return to the present moment.

Take a moment to reflect
After the meditation, take a few moments to reflect on your experience. Journaling helps you solidify your insights and track your progress over time. Consider these reflective questions:
- How did focusing on trust affect your feelings of anxiety? Compare how you feel now to when you began.
- What thoughts or scenarios did you notice during the meditation?
- How did visualizing the beach and the waves help in releasing your worries?
- What steps can you take to incorporate this sense of trust into your daily life?
