Welcome,
Dear soul,
To Nervous System Regulation number 31,
Today we're regulating with affirmations.
Take a moment to arrive.
Emotional regulation is not about shutting feelings down,
But about restoring your capacity to feel without becoming overwhelmed.
Today,
These affirmations gently support the nervous system in expanding its range,
Allowing emotions to move,
To settle,
And resolve naturally within the body.
You can access patience,
Compassion,
And clarity when the nervous system feels safe,
That's right,
And when the body feels safe,
Emotional range returns.
So today,
We regulate first,
So emotions can flow naturally again.
If you haven't already,
Find your comfortable position,
Either seated or laying down,
Let your body be supported,
And allow your shoulders to soften.
Take a slow breath in through the nose,
And release it gently through the mouth,
Another slow breath in through the nose,
And releasing out through your mouth.
Your nervous system is already listening.
I invite you to place one hand on your chest,
And one on your belly.
Feeling your own presence here,
This itself is co-regulation.
Now inhale slowly through the nose for 4,
3,
2,
1.
Exhale through the mouth,
6,
5,
4,
3,
2,
1.
Keep with these slow breaths,
The long exhale signals safety into the body,
That's right,
Breathing these slow breaths in through the nose for 4,
And exhale through the mouth,
No need to count,
Your body knows.
Let your jaw soften now,
Let the shoulders drop,
Let the belly release,
And now the body is ready to receive.
Let's start with the first set of affirmations for safety,
You can repeat them with words or say them in your mind.
I am safe in this moment.
My body is allowed to relax.
I am supported right now.
I am grounded in the present.
I am held by life.
That's right,
You are safe in this moment.
Your body is allowed to relax.
You are supported.
You are grounded in the present and held by life.
As this safety settles,
The nervous system softens its guard and the body begins to open.
Now let's bring in our calm affirmations.
Calm is not forced,
It emerges when the nervous system settles.
Repeat in your mind or in a whisper.
I am breathing myself into calm.
My body knows how to settle.
I am slowing down with ease.
Calm is returning naturally.
I am resting inside myself.
That's right,
As calm deepens,
Emotions no longer need to rush or overwhelm.
They can flow at their own pace.
More and more,
You are breathing yourself into calm.
Your body knows how to settle.
You are slowing down with ease.
And calm is naturally returning.
Moving now to our third set for emotional flow.
When emotions move,
When safety is present,
They do not need to be controlled.
Repeat in your mind or in a whisper.
I allow my emotions to move freely.
I can feel without overwhelm.
I am safe to feel and feel.
And release.
My emotions flow and pass.
My emotions ebb and flow like the tide.
I am emotionally supported.
That's right,
As emotions are allowed to move,
Resilience naturally begins to rebuild.
You can feel without overwhelm.
You are safe to feel and release.
And you bring in the knowing that your emotions flow and pass.
You are emotionally supported.
Moving to our affirmations for resilience.
Regulation restores resilience.
The ability to bend without breaking.
Repeat in a whisper or in your mind.
I can meet life with steadiness.
I recover quickly and gently.
I am resilient and capable.
I return to balance with ease.
I trust my nervous system.
As resilience grows,
Compassion becomes accessible.
First for yourself,
Then for others.
Because you can meet life with steadiness.
You can recover quickly and gently.
Because you are resilient and capable.
And you return to balance with ease.
Because more and more each day,
You trust your breath.
You trust your nervous system.
Moving to our affirmations for compassion.
As compassion arises naturally when the body feels safe.
Whisper.
I meet myself with kindness.
I am patient with my process.
I soften towards myself.
I treat myself with care.
I allow compassion to lead.
When compassion is present,
Clarity can return without effort or strain.
More and more,
You meet yourself with kindness.
You are patient with the process.
As you soften towards yourself.
And you treat yourself with care.
And allow compassion to lead.
We move to clarity.
Clarity is the result of regulation.
Not effort.
I invite you to whisper.
My mind clears as my body settles.
I can think clearly and calmly.
I respond instead of react.
I trust my inner clarity.
I move forward with steadiness.
That's right.
More and more each day.
Your mind clears and your body settles.
You think more clearly and calmly.
And you respond instead of reacting.
Because you trust your inner clarity.
And you move forward with steadiness.
Into each day.
Now let all these affirmations settle.
Let them settle into your body now.
You don't need to remember them.
Your nervous system has already recorded them.
That's right.
Feel your body breathing now.
Feel your body regulated.
You are present in this moment.
This is emotional regulation.
It is not control.
But capacity.
Take one more slow breath in.
And gently release it.
Coming back into the room.
Noticing the light.
The sounds.
The surface beneath you.
And today you carry this with you.
As your nervous system stays regulated.
Your emotional world stays open.
Welcome back to you.
Blessings on your journey.
Namaste.
