Hello my friend,
This is a short meditation to help ground you in the present.
Quieting the world so that you may hear what your inner knowing has known all along.
You are infinitely capable.
More than enough.
Find a comfortable position,
Either sitting or lying down.
Place your hands on your heart.
On your lap.
Or where it feels right for you.
Soften your gaze and close your eyes if that feels right.
Now take a deep,
Intentional breath through your nose.
And let it out.
And in,
And release.
As I searched for a quote that might inspire confidence,
I came up short.
This is because confidence is not inspired.
Confidence is created.
It is built.
It is built by showing up for yourself.
It is shaped through unapologetic.
Authenticity to self.
It is not made by looking at your reflection through someone else's eyes.
But by leaning in to the values that you hold most dear.
You do not need to measure yourself against someone's arbitrary measuring stick.
But by the measure you create for yourself.
And when you free yourself from the shackles of society's distorted expectations.
.
.
And courageously embrace your authentic self.
You will find an internal confidence of your true north.
As you quiet the shouts of the world's expectations.
What is your inner knowing whispering to you?
It whispers.
You are enough.
Your inner knowing knows how infinitely capable you are.
It knows your true north.
Take a deep breath in.
And release.
Notice the you that is here in this moment Do you feel the shift?
Can you feel the stability of a confidence built on the bedrock of your own values?
When you are ready.
Bring yourself back to the present moment.
Holding dear to what you know your true north to be.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
