Guided Meditation Script for Anxiety and Overthinking:

Find a comfortable position, whether sitting or lying down. Allow your body to settle into the surface beneath you, letting go of any stiffness or tension. Gently close your eyes, bringing your awareness to the present moment. Take a deep, slow breath in, filling your lungs completely, and hold it for a moment. Then, slowly exhale, releasing any tightness or stress. Feel the weight of your body sinking deeper into relaxation with each breath.

As you continue to breathe slowly and deeply, notice any areas of tension in your body. Perhaps it's in your shoulders, your back, or your face. Gently direct your breath toward those areas, imagining the air bringing warmth and relaxation. With each exhale, feel that tension melting away, leaving your body soft and at ease. Allow yourself to sink further into comfort with every breath.

Now, shift your attention to your mind. We often carry our anxieties and worries in our thoughts, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But right now, you are safe. You have the power to let go of those racing thoughts. Begin by noticing them, but don’t attach any judgment or meaning to them. They are simply thoughts, like clouds floating through the sky. You don’t need to grab hold of them or follow them. Just watch them drift by, knowing that you are in control of your focus. As each thought passes, gently let it go. With each breath, feel yourself becoming lighter.

Take a moment to acknowledge the feelings of anxiety or overthinking that might be present. Rather than fighting them, just allow them to be there. Be kind and compassionate with yourself. It’s okay to feel anxious sometimes—it’s a natural part of being human. Know that you are not your anxiety. You are the observer, the one who notices it. And with each breath, you can gently release it. Imagine these thoughts like leaves falling from a tree, floating away with the breeze. Let them fall away, knowing that they do not need to stay.

Bring your focus back to your breath. Inhale slowly and deeply, letting the air fill your lungs. As you exhale, imagine the breath carrying any stress or tension out of your body. With every exhale, feel yourself becoming more relaxed, more present, more at peace. Continue this rhythm of breathing, gently letting go of anything that no longer serves you.

Now, imagine yourself in a peaceful, calming place. It could be a quiet beach, a lush forest, or a tranquil garden—wherever you feel most at ease. Picture the details of this place. Feel the soft ground beneath your feet, the gentle breeze brushing against your skin, and the soothing sounds of nature surrounding you. Perhaps you hear the gentle crash of waves, the rustling of leaves, or the distant chirping of birds. Allow yourself to become fully immersed in this place, allowing it to bring you comfort and peace. As you breathe in, feel the fresh air filling you with calm energy. As you breathe out, release any lingering tension.

If any anxious thoughts arise, gently acknowledge them without judgment, then allow them to drift away. It’s okay if they come, but you don’t have to hold on to them. Simply return your focus to the peacefulness of your surroundings. With each breath, feel more connected to this place of stillness and tranquility. Let the beauty of this space soothe your mind and calm your heart.

As you continue to breathe deeply, begin to notice how your mind and body are becoming more relaxed. Your thoughts are slowing down, becoming quieter. There is no rush here. There is no need to worry about anything. Everything is happening exactly as it should. You are safe in this moment, and you have the ability to release the grip that anxiety and overthinking have on you.

Let this peaceful state deepen with each breath. Imagine the calm energy of this place flowing into your body, filling every cell with relaxation and ease. Feel this energy spread from your head down to your toes, allowing your muscles to soften and your mind to clear. Let any remaining tension or anxious thoughts dissolve into the air, leaving you feeling light and peaceful.

Take a moment now to remind yourself that it’s okay to not have all the answers. You don’t need to fix everything right away. You can simply be here, in this moment, taking things one breath at a time. Trust that your mind and body know how to heal and restore themselves. You are allowed to rest, to pause, and to simply be.

Let go of any lingering thoughts about the future or the past. The present moment is all that matters now. Everything you need is already within you. You have the strength and the peace to navigate through whatever comes your way. Allow yourself to trust in this knowing.

As you breathe in, feel the peaceful energy of this place filling you. As you breathe out, feel the tension in your mind and body easing further. Imagine your breath creating a sense of calm that expands outward, surrounding you in a protective bubble of peace. You are safe here. You are calm here. You are enough, just as you are.

Now, take a few more moments to sit in this peaceful space, feeling grounded, calm, and at ease. Allow yourself to fully absorb the stillness. Let this peace settle into your heart and mind, knowing you can return to it anytime you need.

​When you’re ready, gently begin to bring your awareness back to your body. Feel the surface beneath you, the weight of your body, and the breath in your chest. Slowly begin to wiggle your fingers and toes, bringing gentle movement back into your body. As you start to open your eyes, take a final deep breath in, and as you exhale, carry the calm, clarity, and peace of this meditation with you.
