Welcome. Take a comfortable seat. Or lie down. Gently. Close your eyes. Take a slow breath in, And a long breath out. Again, Breathing in. And breathe out. Allow your body to soften. There is nothing to fix right now. Nothing to figure out. Just this breath. Slowly. Bring to mind a rejection you've been carrying. A closed door. A disappointment. Or a moment that still stings. There is no need to dive into that story. Simply notice what arises. Perhaps it's sadness. Frustration. Tightness in the chest. Or a heaviness in the body. Whatever it is. Let it be him. Take a gentle breath in. And silently say, This works. Nothing more, Just an honest acknowledgement. Notice how often rejection becomes something bigger. A story about your worth. Your future. Who you are. For this moment, Let go of the story. Return to the simple facts. Something didn't work out. And you're still here. Breathing. Living. And growing. Feel the support beneath you. To chat. The flow. The Earth holding you up. You do not have to carry this alone. Slowly. Place a hand on your heart if that feels comfortable. And repeat quietly. I am allowed to feel disappointed. I am allowed to begin again. My worth has not changed. Take a deep breath. And as you exhale. Imagine softening your grip on the need for approval. Not every door is meant to open. Not every path is yours to walk. Life is still unfolding. I rest here for a few moments. Breathing in. Breathing out. Letting go. Thrusting a little more. As we close, Remind yourself. This moment is painful, But it is not permanent. And it is not the end of your story. Take one final deep breath in. And a slow breath out. Whenever you're ready. Gently bring movement back into your fingers and toes. And carry this quiet self-compassion with you into the rest of your day. Thank you for practicing. And remember, This space is always there for you. Have a great day.
