Some days just suck. There's nothing wrong with you, the way you think, or how you're feeling. I hope you find a brief moment of peace in this self-love-fueled meditation. Enjoy a short time to pause, recenter, notice your breath, and let go of the notion of needing to fix any part of yourself or your day!

This is a meditation for the days that just suck.

For the dreary days where no sun is in sight.

Where all your normal routines and healthy coping skills aren't really cutting it.

For the days or maybe weeks when you eat cereal for dinner and you don't have the energy to wash your hair for one too many days.

So give yourself a hug.

I mean it.

I'll wait.

Wrap your arms gently around you and take a breath.

Take another easy gentle loving breath in through the nose.

Allow the sweetest sigh to fall from your lips.

Again,

Inhale,

Soften,

Surrender.

Exhale.

I want you to let a noise escape,

Any noise,

A sigh,

A scream,

A whimper.

Squeeze yourself in a hug.

All you have to do is breathe.

Hey babe,

I want you to repeat after me.

Nothing is wrong with me.

Nothing is wrong with the way I think.

Nothing is wrong with what I feel or how I express or don't express my emotions.

Nothing is wrong with my body.

Nothing is wrong with my brain.

Nothing is wrong with my heart.

Nothing is wrong with my nature.

Nothing is wrong.

Take a deep breath.

I'll say it one more time.

You're welcome to repeat.

Nothing is wrong with me.

Nothing is wrong with the way I think.

Nothing is wrong with what I feel or how I express or don't express my emotions.

Nothing is wrong with my body,

My brain,

My heart,

My nature.

Nothing is wrong.

Take care of yourself.

Reach out to someone who can help you feel a little more tender with yourself.

And remember,

Some days are just hard.

Some days just suck.

You don't have to fix it.

There's nothing wrong.

This was just what I needed today…today just sucked and that’s ok. Not every day is going to be sunny ☀️ and breezy, just like not every day will be like today. And I needed to hear every sweet word spoken. Thank you so much …. I’m grateful ☺️

I didn't entirely agree with the statement that nothing is wrong with how I express myself, but regardless it was nice to repeat these sentiments. Thank you :)

This was one of the BEST meditations I have ever done. It was spot on what I needed right now. I could feel tears in my eyes towards the end. THANK YOU so much for sharing this. I’ve bookmarked it to listen to again and again. This meditation may even inspire me to write a another new poem as I’d like to also be a source of encouragement as my poems are usually just me writing about personal experiences. Writing one with the purpose of encouraging would be nice. Thank you!

Thank you thank you. 🙏 I very much needed this today, to remember that these aspects of self are not actually "wrong", in terms of "right" and "wrong." They just are, so take them as they come, breathe, and accept myself as I am.

Because sometimes life just sucks, but everything’s ok. Thank you for this; the loss of sun the last few weeks has been wearing. I love the quick reminder and self-loving suggestions. Namaste 🙏🏻 ✨💜
