Free 15 Minute Guided Imagery Script to Envision Your Ideal Job [PDF]

Make yourself comfortable, and close your eyes. 

Take a slow deep breath, and let go of any tension, as you feel yourself sinking into the surface you’re resting on, becoming still more comfortable and relaxed. 

Take another slow, deep breath, and release your thoughts, letting them drift far away. 

And take another slow, deep breath, and know that in this moment, all is well.

Consider something you enjoy doing. 

This could be something you’re familiar with doing for a living, or it could be something you enjoy, but have never done professionally. 

Imagine how it would feel to do this activity as part of your new job. 

Notice whether you feel comfortable, engaged, and fulfilled by doing this activity at work, or otherwise. 

I’ll give you a moment to try this out.

Consider another activity you enjoy, something different than the first, and imagine doing this as part of your job. 

Notice whether you feel comfortable, engaged, and fulfilled with this activity at work, or otherwise.

Now consider one more activity you enjoy. 

This time, expand your horizons and make it something you might normally not think of doing for a living, even if it seems like a stretch. 

Imagine doing this as part of your job. Notice how you feel about doing this activity at work.

Which of the activities you’ve just imagined seemed most enjoyable to do at work? 

Which felt most comfortable? 

Which felt most engaging? 

Which would be most fulfilling?

Consider something you’d like to learn about. 

This could be a professional skill, a hobby or personal interest, or something related to your personal growth. 

Imagine how it would feel to learn about this in the context of your job. 

Notice whether it feels comfortable, challenging, fulfilling, or otherwise.

Consider something else you might like to learn about, perhaps something you’ve had in the back of your mind, but haven’t really explored. 

Imagine how it would feel to learn about this in the context of your job. 

Notice whether it feels comfortable, challenging, fulfilling, or otherwise.

Consider one more thing you might like to learn about, and this time, to stretch your imagination, make it something you’d not normally consider. 

Imagine how it would feel to learn about this in the context of your job. 

Notice whether it feels comfortable, challenging, fulfilling, or otherwise.

Which of the areas you’ve just imagined learning about seemed most enjoyable to be involved in at work? 

Which felt most comfortable? 

Which felt most engaging? 

Which would be most fulfilling?

Consider a way you might like to help other people, or something you’d like to contribute to the world around you. 

Envision yourself doing this as part of your job, and imagine how it would feel to engage in this way. 

Consider another way you’d like to make a difference in the world, perhaps something you’ve not allowed yourself to really explore before. 

Envision yourself doing this as part of your job, and imagine how it would feel to help or contribute in this way.

And consider one more way you might like to help people, or contribute to the world. 

This time, make it something that stretches the boundaries of your imagination, even if it seems like a total fantasy. 

Envision yourself doing this as part of your job, and imagine how it would feel to help others or contribute to the world in this way.

Which of the ways of helping or contributing to the world you’ve just reviewed stands out as the most real and fulfilling for you?

Now you’ll join together the areas you felt strongest about, and envision yourself doing something you most enjoy, learning something you’d most like to learn, and helping in the way you’d most like, all as part of the same job. 

Take some time let your imagination freely assemble this image, and allow it to unfold for the time being without concern for how realistic or possible this may be. 

Imagine yourself doing, learning, and contributing in this job setting.

Now we’ll focus on some of the more specific preferences you might have about your job. 

I’ll ask a series of questions, and give you time to consider each one. 

Let your imagination fill in the picture as freely and completely as possible.

In your ideal job, you might work for a single person, a huge corporation, or any size establishment in between. 

How many people do you imagine being around in your work? 

One or two, a small group, or a large number?

What type of setting do you see yourself in; an office, a retail outlet, someplace outdoors… Imagine your ideal work environment.

How much will you interact with other people in your work? 

Will you be working with other employees or staff, interacting with the public, or spend most of your time on your own?

Will you have a lot of supervision in your work, with very specific tasks to perform, and few decisions of your own to make, or will you have freedom to get things done your own way?

What kind of pay and benefits would you like to receive for your work? 

Consider receiving that level of income, and imagine what sort of changes it might bring to your life.

Now, join together these aspects and envision a job with that size, setting, level of interaction, supervision, and pay. 

Imagine yourself in that situation, and notice how you feel working there. 

Notice whether it feels comfortable, engaging, and fulfilling, or otherwise.

Now you’ll imagine three possible job scenarios, with three different levels of satisfaction.

First imagine you’ve found a job that fulfills some of the ideals you’ve thought about, though it falls far short of fulfilling all of them. 

Perhaps the work is good, but the pay isn’t enough, or the people and the environment is great, but the work isn’t fulfilling. 

This is a job you’d be willing to settle for, if you can’t find anything better.

Envision yourself doing this job, going in to work, beginning, and working throughout your shift. 

What is your day like? 

How are you feeling as you work at this job? 

How do you feel about your work at the end of the day, at the end of the week?

Now, imagine you’ve found a job that fulfills every one of your ideals, and offers you even more. 

This is a dream job, and in some ways, it’s hard to believe you’ve even landed it. 

Envision yourself doing this job, going in to work, beginning, and working throughout your shift. 

What is your day like? 

How are you feeling as you work at this job? 

How do you feel about your work at the end of the day, at the end of the week?

Now, imagine you’ve found a job that fulfills most of your ideals, and seems to fit you quite well, even though there are some surprises you had not foreseen. 

Perhaps there are things that could be better, but maybe there’s also potential for improvement, as you go along. 

There are lots of positives in this job, and some challenges too. 

Envision yourself doing this job, going in to work, beginning, and working throughout your shift. 

What is your day like? 

How are you feeling as you work at this job? 

How do you feel about your work at the end of the day, at the end of the week? 

I’ll give you extra time here, so use your imagination to fill in as much detail as possible.

In this meditation you’ve given your imagination and your unconscious mind a chance to expand, open to new possibilities, and hone in on what you want. 

This process will likely continue to unfold within you over the coming days, both in your dreams and your waking hours. 

Return to this meditation again several times, to gain clarity as you continue to envision your ideal job.

It will soon be time to bring this journey to a close. 

But first, take a moment to thank yourself for giving yourself this time and space to prepare for your next step.

Bring your awareness gently back to your physical surroundings.

Take your time, and when you’re ready, open your eyes, and feel awake, alert, and refreshed.

Begin taking the steps you envisioned in this program, now.
