Sacred Morning Affirmation | Embracing Self Compassion

Welcome to the fourth session of your 5-day morning affirmations practice.
Today, we’ll focus on self-compassion, so you can move through your day with gentleness, grace, and an open heart.

Let this short practice be your morning reminder that you are worthy of kindness, especially from yourself. Take a moment to release the inner critic, embrace your humanness, and meet yourself with love. This is for the perfectionists and deep feelers ready to treat themselves the way they so freely treat others.

Remember, compassion isn’t weakness, it’s the most radical form of strength.

Welcome to your daily affirmation for empaths.

Today we're cultivating self-compassion,

Treating ourselves with the same kindness that we offer others.

Start by finding a comfortable seat or laying down on your back.

Close your eyes and take a deep,

Nurturing breath in as you exhale,

Releasing any self-judgment or doubt.

Now gently place your hands over your heart and feel its gentle rhythm,

Observing how you feel in this moment and opening up to invite in kindness and compassion to yourself.

You can keep your hands placed over your heart or bring them back down by your sides,

Whatever's most comfortable.

And now it's time to invite in your affirmation.

Repeat out loud or silently to yourself,

I am worthy of my own love and kindness,

Just as I am.

Allow these words to wrap around you like a warm hug as you keep your awareness with your natural breath.

Again,

Repeating to yourself,

I am worthy of my own love and kindness,

Just as I am.

Once again,

Repeating with deep meaning,

I am worthy of my own love and kindness,

Just as I am.

Staying just as you are for a moment longer,

Just observe what shows up.

If there's any little trickle in of self-criticism,

That's okay,

Just acknowledge it and gently replace it with compassion.

Imagining yourself sending love to every part of you that can benefit from it.

Breathing naturally as you allow self-acceptance to flow through you.

Once again,

Repeat to yourself,

I am worthy of my own love and kindness,

Just as I am.

Start to deepen your breath and when you're ready,

You can open your eyes.

Take any movements that you need and continue forward with your day with a tender and open heart.
