Welcome.
This guided meditation is designed around depression recovery and helping us to reaffirm the beautiful things about ourselves that we may tend to neglect.
Follow along with me as we reinforce I AM affirmations together.
As I speak these affirmations,
Listen to them as if I am your own mind,
Speaking these truths about you.
Make sure you're comfortable and without any distractions as we begin our reprogramming.
We will take three comfortable breaths before we start in through our nose and out through our nose,
Soft and easy.
And we will do that now.
Breath in,
Breath out.
Breath in,
Breath out.
Breath in and breath out.
And we will begin with I AM,
Which is the deepest reinforcement that you are.
I AM,
I AM,
I AM,
I AM,
I AM alive.
I exist and I am here for a reason.
I understand I may not know that reason now,
But I am here and alive.
I have a place here on earth because I am here and there is no place else I could possibly be.
I am unique.
Everything about me is what makes me special.
Every detail in my body,
Every imperfection,
Every wrinkle and every scar is perfect and makes me the individual that I am.
I love how unique and different I am than everyone else.
I am unique.
I am unique and that's what makes me special.
I am beautiful.
I am beautiful on the inside and the out because I was made perfect exactly as I am.
My beauty is not to be compared with others because it was given to me.
And the things I like the least about myself are what everyone else finds the most beautiful.
My soul is beautiful.
My heart is beautiful.
My body is beautiful.
My personality is beautiful.
I am beautiful.
I am beautiful.
I am beautiful from head to toe exactly as I am.
I am strong.
I am strong though sometimes I may feel weak.
But deep in my core I am strong because of what I've been through.
I have made it this far in life because of my strength and that is an incredible achievement.
The hard times in my life have been polishing me like a diamond,
Making me stronger than I could have been without them.
I am strong.
I am strong.
I am strong because I've made it this far.
I am worthy.
I am worthy of love.
I am worthy of happiness.
I am worthy because I am.
I am worthy of everything that comes to me in life even if I don't feel so.
It comes to me because at my core I am.
I am worthy.
I am worthy.
I am worthy because my life matters.
I am loved.
In my moments when I feel the most alone,
Deep down I know that there is someone out there who loves me,
Who misses me and cares for me.
I am loved in ways I might not see.
I know I am loved because in my core I am love.
I am love.
I am love.
I love myself and every ounce of who I am because I am.
I am important.
I exist on this planet because I have a place here.
There are people who count on me,
In my family,
At my work,
In my school.
Even when I feel I am alone,
There are people who care for me because I am important.
I am important.
I am important.
My life is essential in this world because I am.
I am compassion.
I hurt at times because I have a heart.
I have feelings and emotions.
I care for the world even if I may not show it all the time.
I am compassionate for the people and things in my life.
My feelings are strong because I am.
My care is deep and that is why I feel so much.
I am compassion.
I am compassion.
I am compassion because I am.
I am enough.
I am enough exactly as I am.
I don't need to change for anyone or anything in this world.
I am enough of a person to bring value wherever I go.
I am enough of a person to be appreciated and praised for my hard work.
Comparing my life with others means nothing.
My path is my own and designed especially for me.
I am enough.
I am enough.
I am enough because I am complete exactly as I am.
I am perfect.
I am perfect exactly the way I am.
The traits I don't accept about myself are what make me who I am and are to be embraced.
I am designed exactly as I am and I accept how I look.
I do not compare my life with others.
For each person is exactly where they should be,
Including myself.
I am perfect.
I am perfect.
I am perfect exactly the way I am.
I am.
I am important and my life has value.
We'll gently breathe in through your nose and out through your nose.
We'll do that now.
Sometimes it may be hard for us to believe these words we speak of ourselves.
But the more we say them,
The more we believe them,
And the easier it becomes to embody them.
I am.
You are.
We are.
And that is a miracle.
You are a miracle.
Thank you.
