Let's begin by finding a comfortable and quiet space where you can relax without any distractions.

Close your eyes and take a slow,

Deep breath in,

Allowing your lungs to fill with air,

And exhale slowly,

Releasing any tension or stress you may be holding onto.

Now visualize yourself cocooned in a delicate and protective cocoon,

Nestled in a safe and tranquil space.

Feel the warmth and security of this cocoon surrounding you,

Shielding you from the outside world.

As you rest within this cocoon,

Imagine yourself as a butterfly,

Waiting patiently to emerge from your acrosis.

Feel the anticipation building within you as you prepare to break free from the confines of stress and depression.

With each breath you take,

Envision yourself shedding the weight of negativity and despair,

Like a butterfly shedding its cocoon.

Visualize this process as a gradual transformation as you release old patterns and embrace a new sense of freedom and lightness.

As you continue to breathe deeply,

Repeat the following affirmations to yourself.

I am worthy of happiness and joy.

I am worthy of happiness and joy.

I am worthy of happiness and joy.

I release myself from the grip of depression and embrace a new beginning.

I release myself from the grip of depression and embrace a new beginning.

I release myself from the grip of depression and embrace a new beginning.

I am resilient and capable of overcoming any challenges that come my way.

I am resilient and capable of overcoming any challenges that come in my way.

I am resilient and capable of overcoming any challenges that come in my way.

I am like a butterfly,

Emerging stronger and more beautiful than ever before.

I am like a butterfly,

Emerging stronger and more beautiful than ever before.

I am like a butterfly,

Emerging stronger and more beautiful than ever before.

Feel these affirmations take root within you,

Filling with you a sense of hope and optimism for the future,

Allowing yourself to bask in the light of your own inner strength and resilience.

When you are ready,

Slowly begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment.

Wiggle your fingers and toes,

Gently stretch your limbs as you reawaken your body.

Take one final deep breath in and as you exhale,

Open your eyes,

Feeling refreshed,

Rejuvenated and ready to spread your wings and soar towards a brighter tomorrow.
