Hi and welcome to today's affirmation practice.

Today we'll be focusing on 5 affirmations to help you give yourself more love as you move forward in your day.

Start by sitting symmetrically and upright but without it being uncomfortable.

Close your eyes to start the journey within and close your mouth so that you're only breathing through your nose.

Our nostrils filter the air we breathe better than our mouths do and thus allow for slower,

More serene breathing.

Become entirely still.

You're completely motionless except for the air coming in and out of your nostrils.

Observe your breathing as if you were looking at something separate from you.

It occurs naturally and automatically without you having to do anything.

And notice how the air coming in is colder than the air coming out of your nostrils.

And if you're bothered by thinking,

It's normal and it's perfectly okay.

When you notice these thoughts,

Simply bring your attention back to this cold air coming in and warm air coming out that is to say to the present moment.

We'll now focus on five affirmations to help you move through challenges you may be facing with ease,

Patience,

And unconditional love.

Silently repeat the sentences to yourself and allow the words to resonate within you.

First affirmation,

In each moment I am exactly where I need to be.

First affirmation,

I practice patience with myself and others.

Third affirmation,

I go step by step in the right direction.

Fifth affirmation,

I do not need to be perfect,

I only need to do my best.

Fifth affirmation,

I'm much stronger than I think I am.

Before finishing this meditation,

Observe your current mood as if you were inspecting your emotions from the outside looking in.

I hope you found today's meditation beneficial.

Have a wonderful day.
