Today we're going to spend a little time thinking about you,
Not in a braggy way,
But in a true,
Kind,
And thoughtful way.
Because there are so many things to love about you,
And sometimes we forget to notice them.
Now find a comfy place to sit or lie down,
And you can even close your eyes if you want.
Let your shoulders relax.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And let it out,
Nice and easy.
Now,
Let's try that again.
Take a big,
Deep breath in.
And exhale slowly,
Letting it out.
Now,
I want you to imagine you're standing in front of a mirror.
Not just any mirror.
This mirror shows you who you are inside.
Not just how you look,
But your heart,
Your ideas,
Your strengths,
And even the things you like.
Now,
Let's start with something easy.
I want you to think about something you're good at.
Maybe you're funny,
Maybe you're creative,
Or maybe you're a great helper.
Maybe you're a fast runner,
Or a good big brother or sister.
Now,
I want you to name one thing that you're proud of,
And I want you to say it to yourself in your mind.
I am proud that I.
.
.
Now,
I want you to think of something that you've done recently that was kind.
Maybe it was help a friend,
Share something,
Or show love to your friends or family.
Now,
I want you to say to yourself,
I love that I care about others.
Now,
Let's think about your mind.
You are learning,
You are growing,
And you're still figuring life out.
Even when things are hard,
Your brain is still trying.
Now,
I want you to tell yourself,
I love that I'm always learning.
And now,
Let's think about your body.
No matter what it looks like,
It's helped you do amazing things.
Like grow,
Rest,
Laugh,
And even hug others.
Now,
Repeat to yourself,
I love what my body can do.
Now,
I want you to think about something people don't always see.
Like maybe it's how strong your heart is.
Maybe it's the way you keep going even when you're having a hard day.
Maybe it's that quiet bravery inside you.
Now,
I want you to say to yourself,
I love that I'm strong on the inside and the outside.
Remember,
You don't always have to be perfect.
Nobody's perfect,
Not even grown-ups.
But there are so many reasons to love being you.
Now,
Take a deep breath in,
And breathe out with a soft smile on your face.
I want you to tell yourself,
There's always a lot to love about me.
I'm still growing,
But I'm already enough,
Even with how I am.
I want you to feel those words settle into your heart.
Take one more deep breath in,
And a deep breath out.
I want you to wiggle your fingers and your toes.
And whenever you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Remember,
You can always come back to this meditation anytime you forget how awesome you are.
Have a good day,
And remember,
There's always a lot to love about being you.
There's so much to love about yourself.
