Greetings and welcome to today's meditation from the You Are Remarkable series, The Inner Applause. Today is not about performing for applause. It's about feeling it from the inside out. There's a part of you that's been waiting for someone to say, Well done. I see you. I'm proud of you. That someone is you. Let's create a space for inner celebration. Take a breath in and as you exhale, Imagine releasing the need for anyone else to validate you. This applause is for you. Begin by scanning your body gently from head top to foot bottom, Noticing where there is tension and notice where there's ease. Now bring to mind something you've done recently, Big or small, That deserves recognition. Maybe it was getting out of bed when it was hard. Maybe it was setting a boundary. Maybe it was simply surviving the day. Let it rise to the surface and take a moment to honor it. Whisper inwardly, I did that. I showed up. I kept going. And now imagine the sound of applause, Not from the stadium, Not from the crowd, But from the sacred center of your being. Take a moment and feel it. Lean into it. Let your inner community of parts, Your inner child, Your protector, Your survivor, Your healer, Let them all acknowledge it. Can you see them? They are clapping for you. Can you hear them? They are cheering you on. They saw what it took. They felt the cost. They witnessed your courage. Let their applause wash over you. Let it echo through your chest. Let it break open the places that have only known silence. This is not about ego. It's about acknowledgement. This isn't arrogance. It's appreciation. This is your inner celebration. Take another breath in and imagine the applause settling into your bones. Take another breath in and allow the applause to go through every cell in your body. Allow it to touch every nerve in your system. Give it access. Breathe out any guilt or shame for needing to be seen. It's human. It's holy. And you are allowed to celebrate you. Did you hear that? Did you take that in? You are allowed to celebrate you. As you move forward, Carry this sound with you. Let it live in the background of your day. The sound of your own becoming. You hear it? Allow that sound to be with you today. Because you are remarkable. Not because someone said so. Because you know so. Let that be enough. Let you be enough. Because you are enough. Thank you and bye for now.
