Begin to slowly arrive right here Breathing in slowly Exhale slower Really allow all of your attention to be right here Slowing down with this version of you right here Breathe and notice what is present here without any judgment Taking inventory slowly of your mind,
Of your heart,
Of your body Steady breath in Steady exhale When was the last time you fully allowed yourself to be seen?
To be seen means you are allowing yourself to be witnessed,
To be known How often do you hide?
As you sit here with this idea of being seen,
Notice if there is resistance Breathe in Fear,
Doubt,
Judgment The desire to be seen as perfect is what fuels our resistance Inhale as you open your heart Exhale,
Drop your shoulders My friend,
What you want in life also wants you But it cannot find you if you are hiding It cannot find you if you are not allowing yourself to be seen You are worthy of being seen Sit with this idea of critics over crickets Crickets means there is silence Because you are not allowing yourself to be seen You are not stepping into your life Critics means that there is judgment There are people that might critique you Thank goodness That means you are stepping in You are doing something You are seen,
Known,
Impactful What do you choose?
You decide if you'd like to live on the sidelines of your life Or if you will make the conscious choice and effort to continuously step in and be seen Breathe in Say out loud with confidence I am not afraid to be seen I am not afraid to be seen I am not afraid to be seen Notice this energy that is rising within you Empowerment Confidence Theodore Roosevelt writes It is not the critic who counts Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles Or where the doer of deeds could have done them better The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena Whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood Who strives valiantly Who errs Who comes short again and again Because there is no effort without error or shortcoming Who knows great enthusiasms,
The great devotions Who spends himself in a worthy cause Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement And who at the worst,
If he fails,
At least fails while daring greatly So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls Who neither know victory nor defeat It's not the critic who counts The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena Breathe in slow Let it go May you choose to step into the arena of your life Critics over crickets Choosing to not be afraid to be seen Welcoming in judgment,
Critiques,
Feedback,
Failures,
Setbacks,
Stumbling Because that means you are all the way alive You are a active participant in your life Be seen Be known Breathe in slow Let it go Take a moment here to sit with this version of you now Only when you're ready,
Bring awareness to the cushion,
The chair beneath you Notice the temperature in the room Feel the shift in your energy Breathe in slow Exhale Begin to wiggle your toes,
Your fingers Maybe rock your head side to side Say yes Move forward with empowerment,
Clarity,
Self-trust And this deep knowing you are meant to be seen From my heart to yours
