Welcome,

Beautiful soul.

I am Paul,

And I'm so grateful that you've chosen me to be your guide today.

All of us will have periods in our lives when we feel a little stuck about how to move our lives forward,

When we're not sure what choices or decisions to make.

Often these are the times when the universe is trying to tell us to slow down,

To stop and reflect,

And to take a step back from the distractions of daily life.

I wrote these affirmations to help support you in these moments of stuckness,

To hopefully allow you to reflect on the beauty of your own unique story and where you are in your life right now.

I encourage you to listen to them whenever you're feeling a little lost.

So take a moment to make yourself comfortable,

Either sitting or lying down.

Silence your phone,

Close your eyes,

And take several long,

Slow,

Deep breaths in and out,

Feeling your body and your mind start to relax.

Let's begin.

Every decision we make in life doesn't have to be perfect,

And every choice we make doesn't have to be big.

It's by making imperfect decisions instead of overthinking,

And by choosing to take small actions one by one that our lives move forward.

So be proud of every single small step you take in life,

As it's the combination of these steps that become your journey.

Never be afraid to switch or to pivot from your current path,

Because it's by trying,

Testing,

And experimenting that we truly discover passions and talents that we never knew we had.

Embrace your failures as they come and reflect on them.

They're not bad,

They're just the lessons that allow us to grow.

Many times while our minds are racing,

Our bodies are telling us to stop,

To slow down,

To rest.

Always listen to your body.

Sit still,

Breathe,

Sleep.

Just allow yourself to recharge and reset,

And never ever feel guilty for doing that.

A lot of the beauty of the human experience,

It lies in our ability to learn something completely new.

On any given day,

We can choose to learn about or practice something that only yesterday was a dream and was never a part of our lives.

Just think how incredible that is,

And then choose to try something new,

Even just a small thing,

As often as you can.

Never measure yourself against the achievements of others.

Your journey,

Your story,

Your goals and your dreams are all as unique as your fingerprints.

They make you who you are.

Love them,

Honor them,

And never allow others to cast a shadow over them.

Our lives are beautiful because they're random.

Every single day on the planet is unique.

Don't panic because you don't have a plan or that you haven't set any goals yet.

If we focus too much on how to create our future,

Our present past is almost unnoticed.

Don't spend your time and energy trying to be noticed by others.

Focus instead on being the best version of yourself that you can be today,

And you'll see how the world automatically starts to notice you.

Try not to always want more.

Notice what you already have,

And then spend some moments in gratitude for all of it.

The only wrong decision we can make is not to decide.

When we choose,

We move.

If we fail,

We learn.

And when we learn,

We grow.

This is life's beautiful pattern.

Honor it by having the courage to make your own decisions.

Never feel that you have to justify your choices and your decisions to others.

Their opinions and their judgment will come from a place inside of them which has no bearing and no relevance on who you are or what you need.

So just do you for you.

Or conjure in a narrative when something doesn't work out.

We can call these times of failure,

Or we can notice what we've learned from the experience and how it's moved us forward.

Always choose the latter.

Our opinions and opinions of others have so little relevance to our own journey,

So pay little attention to them and stay focused on what your own intuition is telling you that you need.

When people choose to leave our lives,

For whatever reason,

This is the universe simply making space for new and positive energy to come rushing in.

So embrace it.

Don't measure your success in financial terms by how much money you've won or lost.

Success is always about how much we have grown in our human experience.

When we sit in reflection,

We can see that our lives are made up of many stages,

Each one unique,

With its own achievements and with its own lessons.

Enjoy the memories of your past stages,

But always face your focus forward.

The best is always yet to come.

Not everyone will understand or accept the decisions that you make in your life,

And that's okay.

They are simply looking at your choices from their own perspective,

Which means they'll never truly make sense to them.

Remember that you had a reason for every choice that you made.

It doesn't have to be something overwhelming,

But just something that gets your pulse racing a little,

And then practice being scared and notice how empowered you feel afterwards.

Embrace and love the uniqueness of your own story.

Share it when you can to give inspiration to others,

But never seek their approval.

Don't always be able to avoid making decisions for your own good that may hurt others.

But if you make decisions from a place of your own truth and with the best of intentions,

Then the universe will take care of those around you.

Everything that you do,

Day in and day out,

Is helping to keep the world turning and the universe expanding.

Every single tiny part that we play is integral to the universal story.

So just feel joy and gratitude for the very fact that you're here.

And as we come to the end of this session,

Just take a moment to place your hands on your heart center and I am doing the same.

I am sending love,

Strength and courage from my heart to yours.

Namaste.
