Welcome.
This is Liz Doyle,
The Positive Change Coach.
So finding a quiet,
Comfortable space for yourself.
And when you're ready,
Gently close your eyes.
Allow your body to settle.
Releasing any tension,
Any stress,
Arrive here,
In this moment.
Begin to soften through the face,
The forehead,
The jaw,
And the neck.
Allow the shoulders to relax.
Find a cleansing breath.
Take a big,
Slow breath in through the nose.
Hold it at the top.
And then exhale out through the mouth.
Set an intention for your practice today,
To allow yourself to be here,
In this moment.
Let go of any to-do lists,
Any goals,
Any distractions for our time together.
Allow this time to serve you,
And support you.
Allow the breath to slow down.
Feel the fresh,
New energy filling your body.
Now,
Bring your attention to your inner self.
The place where your true essence resides.
Imagine a gentle,
Warm light glowing within you.
This light represents your inner strength.
Your resilience.
Your inherent worth.
Now,
Bring your attention to your heart center.
Feel the gentle rhythm of your heartbeat.
A constant reminder of your presence.
Your existence.
Acknowledge this vital energy within you.
I have a question for you.
Are you choosing you?
In your daily life,
How often do you pause and ask yourself what you truly need?
How often do you prioritize your own well-being?
Your own happiness?
Think about the various roles you play in your life.
A friend.
A partner.
A parent.
A sibling.
An employee.
In each of these roles,
You give a part of yourself.
You offer your time.
Your energy.
Now,
Gently bring your attention back to yourself.
Separate yourself from all of those roles.
Imagine yourself standing before you.
Just as you are.
Without any labels.
Without any titles.
Without any expectations.
Look at yourself with kindness and compassion.
See this person who is deserving of love,
Respect,
And love.
And care.
Ask yourself in this moment,
What do I need right now?
Listen to the quiet whispers of your heart.
Is it rest?
Is it peace?
Is it a moment of solitude?
Is it creative expression?
Perhaps you have been neglecting your own needs.
Putting others before yourself consistently.
And that's okay.
But it is important to remember that old cliche.
You cannot pour from an empty cup.
Imagine filling your own cup with whatever you need most.
Visualize it overflowing.
With peace.
With joy.
With self-love and contentment.
Feel the warmth of this nourishment spreading throughout your entire body.
Now,
I'd like you to consider the choices you make each day.
Are these choices aligned with your authentic self?
Do they honor your values and your needs?
Sometimes,
Choosing yourself means saying no to others.
It means setting boundaries and prioritizing your own well-being.
This is not selfish.
It is self-preservation.
It is loving yourself.
Reflect on areas in your life where you might be neglecting yourself.
What small step can you take today to honor your needs?
It might be as simple as taking a few deep cleansing breaths.
Going for a walk outside.
Or enjoying some time alone.
Remember,
You are always worthy of love.
You are worthy of your own love and attention.
You are worthy of choosing yourself.
Choose to honor your needs and your desires.
By choosing yourself,
You are no longer defined by past experiences.
By limiting beliefs.
By ingrained patterns that no longer serve you or support you.
That voice of fear.
Doubt or self-criticism can be released when you choose yourself.
By choosing yourself,
You create space for your true self to emerge.
The self that is authentic,
Resilient,
And filled with potential.
This is the self that chooses you.
The self that knows your worth.
Feel the lightness,
The freedom,
The clarity that comes with choosing yourself.
You are no longer bound by the limitations of the past.
Allow these affirmations to float down to your heart center and know them to be true.
I choose myself wholeheartedly and unconditionally.
I am worthy of love,
Joy,
And fulfillment.
I trust my inner wisdom and intuition.
I am creating a new path aligned with my true self.
Feel the strength and the peace that comes from choosing yourself.
Know that this choice is always available to you in every moment.
And every time you come back to listen to this meditation,
You have the power to step into your authentic self,
To create a life that reflects your true desires.
Feel that empowerment now.
That confidence.
Being truly aligned with yourself.
That certainty.
That sense of inner knowing.
Affirm your commitment to choosing yourself today and every day.
Repeat these phrases silently or out loud if you prefer.
I choose to honor my own truth.
I choose to prioritize my well-being.
I choose to embrace my unique qualities.
I choose to believe in my own potential.
I choose to create space for myself.
I choose to love myself unconditionally.
Feel the strength of these affirmations resonating within you.
Allow them to permeate every cell of your being.
Imagine yourself standing tall,
Grounded and confident.
You are surrounded by a protective aura of self-respect and self-love and self-worth.
See yourself making choices that align with your highest good today and every day.
Choices that honor your needs and desires.
See yourself setting healthy boundaries,
Saying yes to opportunities that nourish your soul and saying no to anything that drains your energy.
Choosing yourself is essential.
Choosing yourself is the foundation for a fulfilling life.
Know that you have the strength and the wisdom to choose yourself every day.
As you prepare to bring your awareness back to the present moment,
Carry this sense of self-compassion and self-awareness with you.
Know that you always have the power to choose yourself.
Now,
Bring your attention to the sensations in your body,
The sounds around you,
The gentle rhythm of your breath.
There's no need to change anything.
Simply observe.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Gently move your body in any way that feels good to you.
And slowly open your eyes when you feel ready.
Today.
Choose you.
Thank you for meditating with me.
Much love.
