Hello,
Awaken with Gratitude,
Day two,
A seven day journey.
Honoring you so.
Good morning,
Beautiful soul,
And welcome to day two of Awaken With That Gratitude.
Thank you for taking this time for yourself again today.
Yesterday,
We simply arrived in the present moment.
Today I invite you to acknowledge something we often forget to do.
To acknowledge yourself.
So often we give our energy to everyone else.
We celebrate others,
Support others and encourage others,
Yet we forget to recognise how much we ourselves have walked through.
Take a moment to acknowledge yourself today.
Everything you've overcome.
Everything you've survived.
Every challenge that has shaped you into the person you are today.
You might not always give yourself credit.
But your heart has carried you this far.
Before we begin today's meditation.
I invite you to think of three things you appreciate about yourself.
Perhaps it's your kindness,
Your strength.
Your resilience.
Your willingness to keep going.
There are no right or wrong answers.
Simply allow yourself to receive your own appreciation.
Now gently close your eyes.
And take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And gently breathe out.
Place one hand on your heart.
And one hand on your belly when your soul breaks.
And feel the rise and the fall of your breath.
Allow your body to soften.
Allow yourself to simply be here.
And as you breathe.
Imagine gratitude flowing towards yourself.
Because you have earned it.
Not because you have to prove yourself.
But because you are worthy of receiving it.
Now repeat softly after me.
I am so proud.
I am enough.
And I am loved.
Again,
I am so proud of you.
Hi,
I'm Manal.
And I am loved.
And allow those words to settle deeply within your body.
Allow yourself to receive them.
We'll take one final deep breath in.
And slowly breathe out.
And as you move through your day today.
Notice.
Where you can offer yourself a little more compassion.
And if you feel called to journal,
Perhaps write down three things you appreciate about yourself.
And anything your heart is gently asking you to remember.
Trust yourself.
Trust what arises.
Thank you for sharing this time with me and have a beautiful day.
