Take a moment to settle into your comfortable position of choice.
You can be seated or laying down.
Straighten the spine and do a quick survey of all the places in which your body meets the floor or seat.
Feel that connection and support.
Now do another quick body scan to bring awareness to any areas in which you are tense,
Harboring rigidity or discomfort.
Take a few cleansing breaths.
Inhale deeply,
Pause and imagine the breath traveling to all those tight,
Sensitive spaces.
Exhale audibly,
Pause and imagine all the stale energy within you exiting the body.
Repeat this cycle.
With each round of breath,
We are clearing space for new,
Revitalizing and uplifting energy.
Now I invite you to shift your focus to a goal you are working toward or a dream that you hold near and dear.
What draws you to this vision?
I'd imagine it's something that aligns with your core values,
Who you believe yourself to be at the most fundamental level.
Your pull toward this vision because it speaks to your authentic nature,
Inspires you.
Where in your body do you feel inspiration?
Is it a fire in your belly?
A soaring feeling in your heart?
A buzzing in your head as if all your ideas are desperately waiting to be unleashed?
Sit with that sensation.
It is far too easy to give our time and focus to our doubts,
Fears,
Worries,
The negative energy.
It's an automatic tendency that takes no skill,
No effort whatsoever.
I encourage you to sit with the positive energy every day.
With beauty,
Excellence and abundance.
With the knowledge that who you are today is drastically different than who you were five years ago and who you'll be in another five years will be different as well.
Whether those differences are awe-inspiring or disappointing largely depends on the energy that you surround yourself with on the day-to-day basis.
Let go of the temptation to ruminate on the negative.
Bask in the light.
That requires discipline,
Intention and skill.
Know that each time you allow yourself to dream,
Each time you set an intention,
You are speaking directly to the universe,
Asking it to activate and conspire along with you to achieve that goal that lights up your whole being.
The universe craves that positive,
Inspiring energy as much as you do.
There's enough negativity in the world.
It's the dreamers,
The believers,
The healers and the individuals striving for growth that balance out the energetic system.
It's our duty to question the truth of what we think we deserve or don't deserve.
The next time that nagging voice of self-doubt seeps into your mind,
Meet it with obstinacy,
Full-headed determination to stay true to your intentions.
Renew that energy each time you revisit this space of positivity and discipline.
Hold on to it between these moments of reflective stillness by using an affirmation or mantra.
I'll leave you with a few options.
Get one that resonates with you or come up with one all your own.
I may not be exactly where I want to be yet,
But I will get there because I've made that commitment to myself.
I may not be exactly where I want to be yet,
But I will get there because I've made that commitment to myself.
I am worthy of a life filled with health,
Wealth and joy.
I am worthy of a life filled with health,
Wealth and joy.
I radiate courage and confidence as I work toward that which inspires me.
I radiate courage and confidence as I work toward that which inspires me.
Anything is possible if I choose it.
Anything is possible if I choose it.
I am enough.
I am deserving of this opportunity.
My fear doesn't change that.
I am enough.
I am deserving of this opportunity.
My fear doesn't change that.
I don't have to be an expert.
All I have to do is show up and be me.
I don't have to be an expert.
All I have to do is show up and be me.
Now breathe and remember who the fuck you are.
