Welcome,
I'm Destiny and today's meditation is on worthiness during unemployment and underemployment.
I'm proud of you for taking the time and space to work on your mindset today.
It can be very difficult to feel productive and even hopeful towards the future during these times.
Sometimes it may feel like your worth is attached to the results of navigating a daunting job search process.
As an artist and wellness practitioner,
Living in the unknown for me is common and learning how to deal with this discomfort is key in moving forward with clarity,
Groundedness and self-trust.
In this meditation,
We will affirm our worth and validate our sense of self.
I invite you to revisit this as many times as you need if you feel helpless,
Scared,
Anxious or angry.
This is a safe space for you to come as you are.
Before we begin,
We will practice breathing deeply into our bodies to tune in.
Inhale deeply and exhale.
Feel free to take your time doing 3-5 deep breaths into your body.
As you're breathing,
I invite you to imagine a light at the center of your heart.
This light is an orb.
You can pick whichever color you'd like,
It can be a peach,
Pink,
Green,
Yellow,
Violet.
As you're settling into your body,
Allow this light to spread all around you from head to toe,
Allowing this light to expand outside of your body.
This light is encompassing your love towards yourself,
The compassion and acceptance you're choosing to step into today.
Allow your breath to return to its natural rhythm and when you're ready,
Feel free to repeat these affirmations out loud or in your head.
There is nothing that I need to accomplish to be worthy.
I am already worthy.
I am not defined by what I produce.
My worth cannot be measured by my paycheck,
My job title,
Or a list of professional or academic achievements.
I do not need to monetize my hobbies.
It is enough to spend time doing something I love.
I will not let society decide what success looks like.
I can define what a successful life looks like for me.
I am competent,
Capable,
And strong.
I fully embrace and love who I am,
Even as I continue to evolve.
I have the power to make an impact on the world.
I can show up as I am.
I have the power and the will to choose what is good for me.
I constantly check in with myself to ensure I am feeling safe.
I choose people and things that make me feel safe and sound.
I am constantly learning,
Growing,
And changing.
I respect and honor my needs.
I am worthy of financial abundance and stability.
I am worthy of experiencing financial freedom and abundance.
And I embrace this mindset with joy and gratitude.
My self-worth is not determined by my financial success.
But I choose to view myself as worthy of it.
I am more than my resume,
Cover letter,
Or LinkedIn profile.
Rejection is just redirection helping me get closer to where I need to be.
It's okay to pivot and figure out what comes next.
Slowing down is not the same as being lazy.
I matter just as much on the days I can't even get out of bed.
As I do on the days where I absolutely crush my entire to-do list.
I make time for myself because I cannot serve from an empty cup.
Rest and play are just as necessary as work.
I don't need to live a life that's Instagrammable or otherwise marketable.
My best may look different from day to day or even moment to moment.
I don't have to have a purpose to matter or be worthy.
Thank you for receiving beloved.
May these affirmations serve and aid you in your sacred journey.
This is a gentle reminder that your intrinsic worth as a human being is infinite.
You are doing your best to live and survive in this society.
I invite you to practice rest,
Breathe deeply and slowly.
Allowing curiosity and joy is your birthright forever and always.
Until next time,
Rest easy.
