Okay,
I would like you to close your eyes if it's safe to do so.
Inhale slowly.
Exhale fully.
And again,
Inhale slowly.
Exhale.
Fully.
Let your shoulders You're cool.
Your abdomen your arms,
Your jaw.
And your legs.
Let all the muscles in those areas relax.
Let them just go loose in there.
Let yourself be supported by the surface beneath you,
Whatever that is the ground,
The chair,
The bed.
Nothing else is required of you in this moment.
But to drop,
Sink and relax and do this rest and post ascension often arrives not when we are unqualified,
But when we are evolving.
In midlife.
Many women outgrow the roles that once kept them safe.
The good girl,
The reliable one,
The one who doesn't take up too much space,
The one who doesn't talk too much.
Isn't too loud When you begin to step into your authority,
The mind searches for familiar ground.
And cause the unfamiliar power Fraud.
Notice the voice that whispers.
Who do you think you are?
Instead of pushing it away,
Acknowledge it gently.
Say to yourself This voice was created to help me belong.
I no longer need it to survive.
This voice was created to help me belong.
But I no longer need it to survive.
Place a hand on your chest or on your heart.
Feel the warmth of your own presence.
Understand this deeply.
Your experience is valid.
Because you lived it.
Your wisdom is real.
Because you earned it.
You do not need external permission to claim your authority.
And I want you to visualize the version of you who fully owns her voice.
Notice how she stands.
How she speaks.
As she does not apologise for existing.
Now gently say,
I am not stepping into something new.
I am remembering who I have always been.
Repeat that again.
I am not stepping into something new.
I am remembering.
Who?
I have always been.
And I want you now to repeat this after me slowly.
I release the knead.
To be validated.
I trust.
My lived wisdom.
I stand in my self-concept sovereignty.
Now take a final breath Deeply in.
Exhale fully and return grounded.
Assured.
And unapologetically.
Yourself.
Beaming love to you now.
Wherever and whenever you are.
Receive.
