Welcome to today's guided visualization,
Releasing the Good Girl.
I am Lindsay Stead.
In this session,
We will journey together to let go of the limiting beliefs and expectations that have been holding you back from fully embracing your authentic self.
Find a quiet,
Comfortable space where you won't be disturbed.
Allow yourself to settle in,
Either sitting or lying down.
When you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Start by taking a deep breath in,
Filling your lungs with fresh air.
Hold it for a moment and exhale slowly,
Letting go of any tension you might be feeling.
With each breath,
Feel yourself sinking deeper into relaxation.
Inhale peace,
Exhale tension.
Continue to breathe slowly and deeply as you prepare to release the good girl identity.
Imagine yourself walking along a tranquil forest path.
The trees sway gently in the breeze,
Birds chirp in the distance,
And the air is fresh and cool.
As you walk,
You feel the soft earth beneath your feet,
Grounding and supporting you.
With each step,
You feel lighter,
More at ease.
Up ahead,
You see a small,
Clear pond.
Its surface is moon-like glass.
Next to the pond,
There's a beautiful ancient tree,
With roots stretching wide and leaves that shimmer in the sunlight.
As you approach this serene spot,
You recognize it as a place of release and transformation.
Standing by the edge of the pond,
You begin to feel the weight of the good girl identity.
The pressures,
The expectations,
The need to please others at the expense of your own desires.
These feelings manifest as stones in your pockets,
Each stone labeled with words like perfection,
Compliance,
Self-neglect.
One by one,
You reach into your pockets,
Feeling the texture of the stones.
You hold each one in your hand,
Acknowledging the weight it has added to your life.
With a deep breath,
You toss each stone into the pond.
As it sinks,
Imagine that aspect of the good girl identity dissolving.
The water cleansing and purifying.
With each stone you throw,
Feel yourself becoming lighter.
The labels lose their power,
The expectations fade,
And you reconnect with your inner strength,
Wisdom,
And longing.
You are not defined by these stones.
You are so much more.
As you release the last stone,
Stand still for a moment.
Notice the freedom in your body and mind.
Feel the space you've created,
Your true self to emerge.
Unbound.
Uninhibited.
Spend a few minutes in silence by the pond,
Reflecting on this new sense of freedom.
This new sense of lightness.
What does it feel like to let go of the need to be perfect?
To please.
To fit into a mold not made for you.
In this space,
Who are you really?
Let your heart answer.
When you're ready,
Slowly buff back along the forest path,
Carrying with you a sense of renewal and authenticity.
Feel the earth beneath your feet again,
Grounding you in your new truth.
Take a deep breath in,
And as you exhale,
Gently bring your awareness back to the room.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Take another deep breath.
And when you're ready,
Open your eyes.
Thank you for joining this journey of release and self-discovery.
Remember,
You have the power to define who you are and who you wish to become.
Carry this freedom with you,
And let your authentic self shine brightly.
