Welcome to Pure Life Therapy and this guided mindfulness meditation for boosting confidence.
Throughout the meditation,
You are invited to close your eyes or have a gentle gaze forward if that is more comfortable for you.
Meditations can be done sitting up,
Lying down,
Or even standing,
Whatever you feel is right for you in this moment.
If at any time you find your mind is wandering,
Gently smile at yourself and simply return the focus to your breath or to the guidance.
Now let's begin by making sure we are comfortable,
Shifting the body in any way needed.
And when you are ready,
Gently closing the eyes or gazing softly at an object in front of you.
Let's start by taking three deeper than normal breaths.
Inhale,
And on the exhale,
Letting go of any thoughts or worries.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Shifting the body in any way needed.
Inhale,
Exhale,
Knowing you are exactly where you need to be in this moment.
Returning the breath to a natural rhythm,
Releasing any tension or stress you may be holding on to.
Noticing the weight of the body being supported by the surface beneath you.
Having an awareness of the contact points,
The feet,
The thighs,
The back,
The hands.
Taking another deep breath,
Inhaling positivity and exhaling self-doubt.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Noticing the natural rhythm of the breath,
The gentle rise and fall of the chest,
The sensation of the breath entering and leaving the nostrils,
Allowing the breath to anchor you to the present moment.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
As you continue to breathe,
Imagine a warm golden light surrounding you.
This light represents your inner strength and confidence.
With each breath,
Visualize this light expanding,
Filling your entire being with a sense of self-assurance,
Of knowing.
Breathing and feeling this golden light surrounding the body,
Boosting inner strength.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Shifting the focus on the qualities that make you unique and strong,
Thinking about your accomplishments,
Both big and small,
Picturing them as bright sparks within the golden light,
Illuminating your path.
Now bringing the attention to the body,
Noticing any areas where tension may be present.
Inhale confidence,
Exhale tension.
Inhale confidence,
Exhale tension.
As you breathe out,
Releasing that tension.
Feeling a wave of relaxation washing over you,
Starting from the top of your head down to the tips of your toes.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale confidence,
Exhale tension.
Inhale confidence,
Exhale tension.
Breathing with each breath,
Inhale,
Exhale,
Allowing the warm golden light to fill the body with inner strength,
Confidence,
Knowledge,
Self-assurance.
Inhale confidence,
Exhale tension.
Relaxing with each breath.
If any negative thoughts arise,
Simply acknowledge them without judgment,
Without criticism,
And then let them go.
Replace them with positive affirmations.
Repeat silently to yourself,
I am capable.
I believe in myself.
I trust in my abilities.
I am capable.
I believe in myself.
I trust in my abilities.
I am capable.
I believe in myself.
I trust in my abilities.
I am capable.
I believe in myself.
I trust in my abilities.
Visualize yourself facing any challenges with a sense of calm and assurance.
See yourself succeeding and embracing your achievements.
You are capable of overcoming obstacles and thriving in your endeavors.
Taking a moment to appreciate the unique qualities that make you who you are.
Allowing yourself to celebrate your strengths,
Talents,
And the journey that has brought you to this moment.
I believe in myself.
I trust in my abilities.
I am capable.
I believe in myself.
I trust in my abilities.
Gently bringing the focus back onto the sensations of the breath flowing in and out of the nostrils.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Inhale,
Confidence.
Exhale,
Tension.
Inhale,
Confidence.
Exhale,
Tension.
Inhale,
Exhale.
Feeling the sensation of the air flowing into and out of the body.
Remember that you will always carry this newfound confidence with you into your day.
Having an awareness of the body where it is and taking a moment to express gratitude to yourself for dedicating this time to mindfulness.
Starting to adjust the body,
Wiggling the fingers and toes,
And when you're ready,
With the next breath,
Gently opening the eyes.
