Gently close your eyes if that feels okay.
Begin to deepen your breath,
Inhaling through your nose,
Exhale out your mouth.
Breath in and breath out.
Feel yourself drop into this moment.
Breathing in,
Exhale,
Settling,
Continuing to steady your breath,
Softening your face,
Your jaw.
Begin to really just witness yourself,
Really seeing yourself with loving awareness.
Only how you've been feeling,
What you are working through.
Only you know the type of day you've been having or what your week has felt like.
Breathe with yourself right here as you are.
Inhaling,
Exhaling.
As you inhale,
Feel your heart lift.
As you exhale,
Feel your shoulders drop,
Continuing to drift into this ease that's always within you,
Just waiting to be reconnected with.
As you breathe here,
Can you start to practice this?
Full-heartedly knowing that you have everything that you need and you are beyond capable.
You have everything you need and you are beyond capable.
Hear this truth.

Talent matters,
Skills matter,
Knowledge matters,
But none of it will make a difference if you don't first believe in yourself.
And not just when everything is going right.
You have to believe in yourself when the odds are stacked against you,
When the challenges feel insurmountable,
When you're not sure where any of this is leading or if it's leading anywhere at all.
You have to believe in yourself when you're not seeing immediate results,
When you receive no external validation,
When you have no tangible evidence that you're on the right path,
Just a feeling deep within your heart that you cannot shake.
You have to believe in yourself when nobody else does,
To be your own greatest supporter and fiercest advocate.
The person who never gives up on you has to be you.
Breathe in to believe in yourself when nobody else does.
You have to be your own greatest supporter and fiercest advocate.
The person who never gives up on you has to be you.
Observe what comes up for you.
My friend,
Don't forget you are well equipped to achieve your goals,
Your dreams,
This version of you.
You are growing and evolving.
You believe in yourself every step of the way.
Place your hands on your heart if that feels okay to you.
Whispering to your heart and your soul,
I have everything I need.
I have everything I need.
I am in this with you and I am here for you.
And as you do this,
My friend,
You are reminding yourself that you are on the same team,
You and you.
As you navigate this life,
As you move toward all that you've dreamed of,
As you step in,
You are on the same team with you.
May you feel this unwavering self-belief and this overwhelming amount of trust through your nose.
Exhale out the mouth.
I have everything I need.
I am capable of handling whatever comes my way.
Feel this sense of empowerment from within,
This strong belief in self and carry this with you throughout the rest of your day.
Breathe in through your nose.
Exhale it all out,
Letting go of any doubt.
Inhale through your nose.
Exhale any fear.
I believe in you,
But most importantly,
May you continue to believe in yourself.
