Find a quiet,
Comfortable space where you can relax.
Close your eyes gently and take a deep breath in through your nose.
Hold it for a moment and then exhale slowly,
Releasing any tension you may be holding onto in your body.
With each breath,
Allow yourself to settle deeper into the space,
Feeling more present and grounded.
As you begin to relax,
Bring your awareness to the idea of change.
Becoming a parent is a profound transition,
A shift not only in your body,
But in your identity.
With this new chapter comes the opportunity to release old beliefs,
Ways of thinking,
And habits that may no longer serve you.
Take a deep breath and allow yourself to honour this moment of transition.
You are stepping into a new version of yourself,
And this journey will shape and support the person and parent you are becoming.
Now,
Take a moment to reflect on the beliefs or expectations that you might be holding onto.
Beliefs that no longer align with who you are becoming.
Maybe these thoughts are about what you should be doing,
Or how you should act,
Or who you should be.
Whatever they are,
Know that it's okay to acknowledge them.
They've been a part of your life.
But now you have the power to decide if they continue to serve you in this new chapter.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Imagine these outdated beliefs gently dissolving.
Let go of any pressure,
Guilt,
Or expectations that no longer support your growth,
Or your new identity as a parent.
Now,
Visualize yourself standing in front of a beautiful open space.
In this space,
There's nothing but possibility.
You are free to create,
And embrace the new identity you are becoming.
Imagine the person you are stepping into,
The parent you are becoming.
See yourself as calm,
Loving,
And empowered.
Visualize the new beliefs and qualities that support you in this new chapter,
Patience,
Openness,
Self-compassion,
And love.
With each breath,
See these new qualities filling the space around you.
Allow them to grow and expand within you,
Making you feel strong and confident.
Know that you are capable of embracing the changes ahead,
And that by letting go of what no longer serves you,
You are making room for a beautiful transformation.
Now take a moment to imagine how this new chapter will feel.
How will it feel to embody your new role as a parent?
What exciting possibilities await you?
Trust that as you embrace these changes,
You will open yourself to growth,
Joy,
And all the wonderful things this new chapter holds.
When you are ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to your body.
Feel the surface beneath you,
Supporting you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes.
Know that you have created space for change,
And with each breath,
You are stepping into the new person and parent you are becoming.
The possibilities ahead are endless,
And you are ready to embrace them.
