If you come here.
Because the self-doubt has been allowed today.
You're right in the right place.
Find a comfortable position.
Let your body be supported Close your eyes whenever you're ready.
Take a breath in.
And let it go slowly.
You don't have to fight the doubt right now.
You don't have to argue with it or push it away.
We are simply going to make a little more room.
Room for something else to be true alongside it.
Notice how self-doubt lives in the body.
For many of us,
It's in the chest,
A tightening and holding back.
Or in the stomach,
That nervous flutter.
Or in the throat,
The voice that shrinks before it's even spoken.
Wherever you feel it.
Just breathe into that place.
Not to fix it,
Not to make it stop,
Just to meet it with a little warmth.
You can feel that.
And still be capable.
You can feel uncertain.
And still be enough.
These things can exist at the same time.
I want to ask you something and I want you to let the first answer arise.
Without editing it,
Without judging it.
When did you first learn that you weren't quite enough?
When did that voice arrive?
It came from somewhere.
It was learned.
It was never the truth about you.
It was a conclusion you drew at a time when you didn't have the full picture.
And it has been trying to protect you ever since.
But it mistakes caution for wisdom and smallness for safety.
You are not small.
You were never small.
And that voice,
However loud,
Is not the most important voice in the room.
Bring your awareness now to your heart center.
Place one hand there if you'd like.
And beneath the doubt,
Beneath the second guessing and the comparison and the fear that you are not doing it right.
There is a quieter voice.
Steadier,
Older.
It has always been there.
It is the part of you that knows.
Let yourself hear it now.
Let it say the things the dove drowns out.
I trust myself.
I have everything I need.
I am allowed to take up space.
I am not too much.
I am not too little.
I am exactly who I am meant to be.
Let these words land in your body,
Not as ideas.
By his felt truth.
Even just a fraction.
Even just for today.
Bring your thumb and index finger gently together.
Press it lightly.
This is your anchor,
This feeling,
This quiet steadiness is available to you anytime you need it.
Just press these fingers together and breathe.
The doubt may still be there.
And that's okay.
But it's not the only voice anymore.
And it's not the loudest one.
You are capable.
You are worthy.
You are enough,
Right now,
Exactly as you are.
Take a final breath in and let it go.
And when you're ready.
Gently open your eyes.
