Hi and welcome to today's affirmation practice.
Today I will guide you through a meditation and affirmations to help you channel gratitude for the things in life that we tend to take for granted but that are actually quite extraordinary.
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.
Now notice how the air coming in is colder than the air coming out of your nostrils.
And if at any point you're bothered by thinking,
It's perfectly normal.
When you notice these thoughts,
Simply bring your attention back to the cold air coming in and warm air coming out.
You will now focus on four affirmations to help you call to your body a feeling of gratitude.
Pay attention to the words contained in the affirmations while remaining focused on your breathing.
First affirmation,
I am thankful for everything my body does for me.
Second affirmation,
I am thankful for the small pleasures life provides.
Third affirmation,
I am thankful for every loving interaction,
However small.
Fourth affirmation,
I am thankful for the support that I'm constantly being given by life.
Before finishing the meditation,
Observe your current mood as if you were inspecting your emotions from the outside looking in.
And when you're ready,
You can slowly come out of this meditation and start noticing the weight of your clothes on your body,
The surrounding sounds,
And of course the colors around you.
I hope you enjoyed today's meditation.
Have a wonderful day.
