Let's close our eyes.
Let the outside world blur and drop into this moment,
This breath,
This body.
Breathe deeply.
Exhale slowly.
Let it all fall away.
The masks,
The noise,
The doubt.
Now feel your feet planted,
Steady,
Unmoving.
You are not floating through life.
You are here.
You are real and you are allowed to take up space.
Feel your spine rise like a tree.
Feel the fire stirring in your belly.
This is where your power lives.
It may have been silenced,
Buried,
Dimmed by years of shrinking to fit.
But it was never gone.
It was never broken.
It was just waiting for you.
So breathe into that fire and say with all the courage you can gather,
I call my energy back from every place I left it to keep the peace.
From every moment I betrayed myself to be liked.
From every version of me that forgot how powerful I really am.
I call it all back now.
Feel it return like light filling your cells,
Like strength you didn't know was still yours.
Now place a hand on your heart and say,
I no longer apologize for being powerful.
I was made to lead,
To speak,
To shine.
I trust myself now.
I rise now.
One more deep breath and as you exhale,
Let the softest smile touch your lips.
You are not small.
You never were.
And you're just getting started.
