So, before we start the guided meditation, here are four tips to keep your mind on the task at hand while you study:

1. Set priorities and plan ahead for your study sessions. This will help you stay focused and on task, and it will be easier for you to stay interested in what you're studying.

2. Eliminate distractions. Find a quiet place to study and do what you can to keep yourself from getting distracted, like turning off your phone or finding a way to block out background noise.

3. Use a stopwatch. Set a timer for a certain amount of time to study, such as 25 minutes, and then take a short break. This can help you keep your mind on the task at hand and keep your energy up.

4. Change what you study or where you study. When we're studying, our minds sometimes wander because the material we're learning is boring. Changing where we study or how the material is presented can help us be more interested and keep our minds from wandering.

It's important to be consistent and persistent with these strategies, and you'll notice a difference in your ability to focus on your studies. If not try this mindfulness meditation, it will help.

Start your morning with gratitude affirmations and end your day with gratitude, and look for things to be thankful for all day long. If you start your morning gratitude affirmations, you'll start to see miracles happen in your life like you've never seen them before. A 5m morning gratitude affirmation everyday is the fastest way to change from a negative to a positive state of mind and raise your vibration. We bring into our lives what we think about. When you show gratitude, you make room for even more things to be thankful for.

In this 10m video, I'll guide you into a restful sleepy train journey by taking you on a relaxing train ride through the beautiful countryside.

In this body relaxation for sleep video, we align the body and the mind with a 10 min  guided meditation.

To align the mind and body for sleep, it is helpful to establish a consistent bedtime routine. This can include activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation. It is also important to create a comfortable sleep environment by keeping the bedroom dark, cool, and quiet, and using a comfortable mattress and pillows. Additionally, try to avoid screens (such as phones or TVs) for at least an hour before bed, as the blue light they emit can disrupt the body's natural sleep cycle. Finally, try to clear the mind of racing thoughts or worries by writing them down in a journal before bed, or practicing mindfulness meditation

Self-compassion is a powerful tool that can help us cope with difficult emotions, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve our overall well-being. Here are some tips for expressing self-compassion during a meditation practice: 

Begin by finding a comfortable seated position, closing your eyes, and taking a few deep breaths.  Bring to mind a difficult situation or emotion that you are currently experiencing. Notice any judgments or criticism that arise in your mind.  Now, imagine speaking to yourself as you would to a dear friend who is experiencing the same situation or emotion. What kind words would you offer them? How would you comfort and support them?  As you offer these kind words and support to yourself, notice how your body and mind begin to relax and soften. You may even feel a sense of warmth and compassion towards yourself.  If any self-critical thoughts arise, try to gently acknowledge them and then redirect your attention back to self-compassion.  You can also try using self-compassion phrases, such as "I am struggling right now, and that's okay" or "I am doing the best I can in this moment."  Continue to offer yourself kindness and compassion for the duration of your meditation practice. When you are ready to end your practice, take a few deep breaths and slowly open your eyes. 

It's important to remember that self-compassion is not about letting ourselves off the hook or ignoring our mistakes. It's about acknowledging and accepting our humanness, and offering ourselves the same kindness, understanding, and support that we would offer to a dear friend. With practice, self-compassion can become a natural and automatic response to difficult emotions and situations, helping us to cope with challenges and navigate through life with greater ease and resilience.

Restoring self confidence is an essential quality that everyone should strive to develop. It's the foundation of a healthy and fulfilling life, and it can help you achieve your goals and pursue your dreams. Here are some tips for how to develop self-confidence: 

Set goals and work towards them: When you set goals and work towards achieving them, you build self-confidence by demonstrating to yourself that you are capable of succeeding. Choose goals that are challenging but achievable, and break them down into smaller, manageable steps. 

Practice positive self-talk: Our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves play a big role in shaping our self-confidence. Practice replacing negative thoughts with more positive and realistic ones. For example, instead of telling yourself "I'm not good enough," try saying "I'm doing my best and learning as I go." 

Take care of yourself: Confidence is closely tied to our overall well-being. Make sure you are taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health by getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and finding healthy ways to cope with stress. 

Learn from your mistakes: Mistakes are a natural part of life, and they can be valuable learning opportunities. Instead of dwelling on your mistakes, try to see them as opportunities to learn and grow. This will help you build resilience and confidence in your ability to handle challenges.

Surround yourself with supportive people: The people we spend time with can have a big impact on our self-confidence. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family members who encourage and believe in you. Avoid negative or critical people who bring you down.

Take risks and try new things: Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be scary, but it can also be incredibly rewarding. When you try new things and take risks, you learn more about yourself and what you are capable of. This can boost your confidence and help you feel more self-assured.

 Celebrate your achievements: It's important to recognize and celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small they may seem. This helps you see and acknowledge the progress you have made, which can boost your confidence and self-esteem. 

Restoring self-confidence takes time and effort, but it is worth it. By setting goals, practicing positive self-talk, taking care of yourself, learning from your mistakes, surrounding yourself with supportive people, taking risks, and celebrating your achievements, you can build self-confidence and live a more fulfilling and successful life .
