Hey there,
I'm really glad you're here.
Let's take a little break together,
Just a few minutes to slow down,
Breathe,
And focus on something really important.
You!
Start by getting comfortable.
You can sit or lie down,
Whatever feels best.
Let your arms rest,
Let your face relax,
And if you feel okay with doing so,
Gently close your eyes.
If not,
Just soften your gaze and look down.
There's no right or wrong way to be here.
Now,
Let's take a deep breath in together,
Hold for a moment,
And slowly let it out.
Let's do that again.
Inhale deeply,
Hold,
And exhale all the way.
Let your breathing settle into a calm,
Natural rhythm.
No need to change anything,
Just let your body breathe on its own.
Now,
Imagine there's a little glowing light in the center of your chest.
This light represents your inner self,
Your heart,
Your hopes,
Your worth.
It might be the size of a pebble or a spark right now,
That's okay.
Every time you breathe,
This light grows a little brighter.
With each breath,
Feel that glow spreading through your chest like warmth on a sunny day.
You are safe here.
You are enough just as you are.
Let's say a few quiet reminders to ourselves.
You can think the words or whisper them if you want.
I am learning every day.
I am allowed to be kind to myself.
I don't have to be perfect to be lovable.
Now,
Take a moment and think of one thing you like about yourself.
It could be something you're good at,
Something you enjoy,
Or a way you make others feel.
Even if it feels small,
It matters.
Hold on to that thought.
Let that good feeling fill you up.
Imagine it traveling down your arms,
Into your hands,
Down your legs,
Into your feet.
You are filled with something kind and powerful that you care for yourself.
Now,
Let's say a few more gentle truths.
I can be proud of who I am becoming.
I am doing my best and that's enough.
I am worthy of love exactly as I am today.
If your mind starts to wander,
That's totally normal.
Just bring your focus back to your breathing,
Back to the warmth in your chest,
Back to you.
Let this moment be a pause in your day,
A time where you remember that you don't have to earn love by being perfect.
You already have value just by being you.
Take one last deep breath in and slowly let it out.
Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes.
Start to bring your attention back to the room.
If your eyes were closed,
You can gently open them now.
Before we end,
Give yourself a quiet thank you for showing up today,
For taking care of your heart,
Even in a small way.
You deserve to feel love from yourself every single day.
You matter.
You belong.
You are enough.
Thank you for spending this time with me.
