Transcript

Begin by finding a quiet and comfortable space where you can sit without any distractions.

Closing your eyes now,

Taking a slightly deeper breath,

Exhaling slowly.

As you breathe in and out,

Become aware of your thoughts and feelings.

Allow them to surface without judgement,

Acknowledging them as they come and go.

Gently allowing yourself to focus your attention on any negative thoughts or feelings you may have about yourself and your abilities.

Allow yourself to fully recognise and accept these feelings of self-doubt.

Now visualise yourself standing in front of a mirror,

Looking at your reflection.

Notice any physical sensations that arise as you look at yourself.

Taking a deeper breath in and as you exhale,

Reminding yourself that you are enough and that you have unique talents and abilities.

You are enough.

You have unique talents and abilities.

Imagine yourself standing in a circle surrounded by people who believe in you,

People who support you.

These people could be friends,

Family or colleagues who have seen your strengths and capabilities.

Feel their encouragement and positivity wash over you.

Repeating the following affirmations to yourself now,

Privately,

Silently,

Feeling the energy of the words fill you.

I am capable.

I am worthy.

And I deserve to be here.

I am capable.

I am worthy.

I deserve to be here.

I am capable.

I am worthy.

I deserve to be here.

Allowing the energy of these words to sink in.

Now gently drift back to a time when you accomplished something that you felt proud of.

This could be a personal or professional achievement,

Big or small.

Remember how it felt to accomplish that task and the hard work that went into it.

Take a few moments now to reflect on the skills and qualities that helped you achieve that goal.

Acknowledge your strengths and recognise that they are part of who you are.

If you start to feel overwhelmed or anxious,

Take a deeper breath and remind yourself that these feelings are normal and that you are not alone.

Allow yourself to feel the emotions but don't let them consume you.

As you continue to focus on your breathing,

Imagine yourself surrounded by a white light.

This light represents your inner strength and confidence.

Allow it to fill you up and radiate from within.

Remember that everyone experiences self-doubt at times.

It's a natural part of the human experience.

Be gentle to yourself,

Be kind to yourself and give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

When you're ready,

Take a slightly deeper breath and slowly open your eyes.

Take a moment to stretch and thank yourself for taking the time to practice this meditation.

Remember you are capable,

Worthy and deserving of success and happiness.

I love this meditation, and the affirmations! I had to restart 3 times because I got pretty emotional. It was wonderful though. It helped me bring forth a positive memory( 2 actually) of a time when I felt supported by my family. And that is the first time I’ve EVER been able to recall any sort of support from hatbi call growing up family.(My parents and siblings ) Thanks so much! I will be returning to this one

Thank you for this. I’ve been struggling lately since I’m between careers and trying to figure out my trajectory. I know “logically” I’m intelligent, talented, and courageous, but fear and uncertainty creep in. I’ll listen to this again and again.
