I Can't Switch Off — A 10-Minute Guided Meditation for When My Mind Won't Calm Down

In this 10-minute guided meditation, Clinical Hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett helps you gently interrupt the pattern of anxious thinking.

Today’s AffirmationsSpeak these silently to yourself to help anchor your mind in the present:
  • My mind is allowed to rest.
  • I do not need to solve anything tonight.
  • My thoughts can pass; I do not have to follow them.
  • I am safe in this moment; this moment is enough.
  • I am coming home to calm.
3 Daily Caring Tips
  1. Set the Globe Down: Physically place an object down (like your phone or glasses) while exhaling to signal to your brain that it is safe to release.
  2. Give Thoughts a Curfew: Schedule 10 minutes earlier in the evening to write down worries so your brain doesn't feel the need to process them at bedtime.
  3. Replace the Loop with a Line: When a thought repeats, interrupt it with one simple, grounding truth: "I am here. I am safe. This will pass."
