Welcome to this self-affirmation relaxation talk to fall asleep.
Affirmations that resonate with our core values can lower our stress levels,
Allowing us to relax and fall asleep.
Wisdom,
Philosophies,
And science alike tell us that in life's journey,
All roads lead back to self-love.
It is the foundation upon which all other forms of love,
Happiness,
And success are built.
No matter what the challenges or triumphs that you experience,
It is essential to always return to nurturing self-love and self-compassion.
We're going to cultivate self-appreciation with self-affirmations and a gratitude-focused body scan that will cradle you to sleep no matter what's going on for you right now.
I'm Dr.
Juna.
I'm a lifestyle medicine physician,
And I know that sleep is key to health and even happiness.
Now let's get started.
As always,
Only use this in a safe place where you can fall asleep.
Before you lie down,
Open the windows if there's a nice breeze.
Turn down the heat or turn up the fan if it's hot outside.
Grab your favorite blanket,
Pillow,
And turn off all.
Now begin to make yourself comfortable,
Adjusting yourself until you feel settled in.
If you have to move to get yourself comfortable throughout this talk down,
That's perfectly fine.
As you settle in,
Let your hands gently rest where they may fall.
In the dark,
You may start feeling more focused and relaxed.
Feel the calmness relaxing and centering your mind.
As you allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness,
You may start to notice that the objects in the room are more visible.
Now gently allowing your eyelids to close.
Perhaps you notice an immediate sensation of relief and relaxation that washes over you.
The weight of your eyelids are lifted,
Allowing a gentle release and peacefulness to wash over your entire body.
With each in-breath,
You feel just a bit lighter.
And with each out-breath,
Feel the tension in your body melting away bit by bit.
Each breath bringing a wave of warmth and a feeling of acceptance over you.
By cultivating self-love,
You create a nurturing and supportive environment in which you can grow and flourish.
It's through self-love that you can find courage to face adversity,
The resilience to overcome obstacles,
And the empathy to connect deeply with others.
When we are at peace with ourselves and our own needs are met,
We have more emotional resources and energy to offer support and compassion to those around us.
In every aspect of life,
Relationships,
Career,
Personal growth,
And well-being,
Self-love serves as the guiding light that illuminates your path,
Fostering a sense of inner peace,
Balance,
And harmony.
By continually returning to this fundamental source of love and support,
You'll empower yourself to live a life of purpose,
Fulfillment,
And joy.
The great news is that we don't have to wait for someone else to provide us with safety,
Love,
And support.
We have that power within ourselves to create these nurturing and loving conditions.
And we're the best equipped.
Because after all,
Who's with us 24-7 except ourselves?
Let's make a solemn promise to ourselves that we'll stand by our side as our own best friend.
Pledge to never leave yourself.
Even as you see all your faults,
You will comfort yourself and focus on your strengths and goodness,
Always cherishing the unique and beautiful person that you are.
As you repeat these affirmations to yourself,
Let it serve as a beacon of self-love and self-care.
Remember that you're your own anchor,
And that the relationship you nurture within yourself is the most important and lasting bond you will ever have.
Now as I recite the following affirmations,
Gently repeat it to yourself silently.
Just like everyone else,
I am worthy of love and respect.
Like everyone else,
I'm deserving of forgiveness and compassion.
Like everyone else,
I am deserving of happiness.
I'm deserving of success.
I love and accept myself unconditionally.
I am capable of overcoming challenges and obstacles.
I honor my own need.
Evolving individual.
Allow these affirmations to sink into your heart.
Now gently shift your focus to the sounds of your own breath,
Noticing the gentle rhythm of your inhales and exhales,
Creating a calm melody.
Allow the soothing cadence of your breath to center you,
Drawing you even deeper into relaxation.
Bring your attention to the sound of my voice,
Allowing it to guide you further into a state of tranquility.
As you listen to my voice,
Let it become the anchor that keeps you centered in this peaceful moment.
Now let's express gratitude for each part of your body,
Starting with your head,
Feeling gratitude for your brain,
This incredible organ that allows you to be,
To think,
And create.
Thank all of your senses,
Your eyes,
That allow you to see the beauty of the world around you,
Your ears for the gift of hearing sounds and music that bring joy and meaning into your life,
Your mouth and tongue,
Your lips and even your teeth that helps you to digest the food that nourishes you.
Now moving to your neck and shoulders,
Expressing gratitude for their strength and flexibility that supports your head.
And now down the back of your neck and along your spine,
Vertebra by vertebra by vertebra,
Appreciating the support and protection they give to your entire nervous system.
Now coming back up over your shoulders,
Continue down your arms,
Forearms,
And hands,
Grateful for all the work that your hands do,
Your fingers that enable you to touch,
Hold,
And create.
Now shift your attention to your chest and your abdomen,
Where all of your vital organs function miraculously and tirelessly.
Gratitude for your hips,
Your thighs,
And knees,
The powerful muscles and joints that carry you through life,
Allowing you to walk and explore.
Finally,
Focus on your lower legs,
Ankles,
And feet,
Appreciating their stability and the support they give you,
Keeping you grounded and connecting to the earth.
As you express gratitude for each part of your body and the amazing functions that keep you alive,
Deeply recognize that you are a complex and awe-inspiring creation.
Allow this gratitude to fill you with a sense of wonder and appreciation,
And knowing that your beautiful brain will be working quietly with the seed of self-love that you planted,
And allowing it to blossom and take root in your life.
Knowing that,
As you sleep soundly,
Your miraculous body will renew and regenerate,
Continuing to work for you.
Allow this gratitude to fill you with a sense of wonder.
Allow yourself to drift off into a deep sleep.
Sweet dreams.
