Welcome.
In this guided meditation,
We will use visualization and affirmations to connect with your inner wisdom and shift beginning to shifts from I am not good enough to I am good enough with a few stepping stones along the way.
For many of us we have had this limiting belief of I am not good enough in some way,
Shape,
Or form on repeat for quite some time running through our mind.
And so I encourage you to gently and lovingly honor your efforts here,
Your efforts in every way,
The sheer attempt to trying something new and having the courage to shift that unhelpful yet familiar thought into something that will benefit you now and your future self.
This is brave work,
My friends,
And we do this together powerfully.
Decide now to honor yourself in this process because it is who we become along this journey.
It is the woman you evolve into,
The person you evolve into,
That will create the most fabulous and rewarding shifts for you.
And we will touch on all areas of life here,
So focus on what matters most for you in these moments.
Pause and replay what you'd like and move through what you don't.
Take what you love and leave the rest.
And let us begin now.
Gently allow your eyelids to rest and settle into the space around you.
Finding a comfortable position that you can maintain for our practice together,
Begin to go inward and begin with an attunement to the natural rhythm of your breath,
Noticing the inhale and the exhale,
Observing the breath in its natural rhythm,
And scanning through the physical body,
Your physical body,
And how it feels against the chair,
The mat,
The bed,
Wherever you are,
Sinking into the space around you.
And with each breath,
Softening,
Allowing your body to gently relax,
Arriving here fully in this present moment.
And bring to mind a memory.
We'll begin in the area of career.
So bring to mind a memory in your career when you felt accomplished.
You felt like you had achieved something.
Maybe you even felt proud.
And this can be recent,
Or it can be as far back as you can remember.
Maybe it was the journey to career.
Think of an experience.
Maybe you were acknowledged for something.
And put in all the pieces of that memory,
All the sensations.
What did you see,
Hear,
Feel?
In a moment where you felt good enough.
Maybe you felt proud.
Maybe someone acknowledged you,
Or you received an award,
An accomplishment,
Or you followed through with something that felt challenging.
Connecting with the emotion that that brings forth for you.
And now bring to mind another experience in this area of education,
Career,
Where you felt a sense of fullness,
Fulfillment.
Bring that to mind and notice what it feels like in your body.
Where do you feel it?
Embrace that for a few moments.
Maybe you've made progress in an area,
Or you noticed your growth.
Just bring it to mind and embrace it.
And affirm,
I'm warming up to the idea that I am good enough.
It is possible to feel good enough,
And I can feel this right now.
I'm getting better and better,
And I'm deciding right now that I can feel this feeling of good enough.
Satisfaction of adequacy.
And remember,
As we're creating this new belief,
There is no progress too small.
There's nothing that doesn't count.
And so remember when you last tried to learn something new,
A skill,
Like something to drive,
Or a new language or a new song,
It may feel challenging at first,
Requires more energy,
And then it becomes your new normal.
Be gentle with yourself in this process.
So let us move now into the area of relationships.
And as I guide you through this visualization,
Follow along and use the time and space to fill in the blanks with your own inner wisdom and guidance in a way that is meaningful and relevant for you,
To you.
Bring to mind a time in your life when you felt worthy of connection,
Love,
A time in relationship when you felt you were in support of someone,
Being supportive or caring in any relationship.
It could be romantic,
It could be family,
Friends.
Choose one and bring an experience to mind.
Put in all the sensations.
And again,
If this feels challenging,
Know that that's okay and quite normal at first.
Allow for all of this process and gently and lovingly move in the direction of finding evidence for you that feels appropriate and relevant now.
Go back as far as you'd like.
Allow yourself to notice a memory,
Whatever comes to mind,
Allow it.
Think of an easy one,
A relationship felt simple,
Fun,
Feeling connected,
Felt good,
You felt adequate,
Felt good enough,
Connected.
Bring that to mind.
Put in all the sensations.
What were you seeing?
What did you hear?
What was around you?
Who was around you?
And soak in the feelings that this memory creates,
This experience.
And affirm with me,
I'm warming up to the idea that I am good enough.
I'm getting better and better at this practice.
I'm deciding right now that I am worthy.
I'm worthy of love and connection.
And I am good enough and I'm adequate.
And I can be fulfilled in relationship and connection.
I am safe and it is possible to feel good in relationship and I can feel that right now.
And if it feels comfortable for you,
Bring to mind a more recent experience.
Maybe you made progress in an area for yourself,
Set a boundary,
Communicated with purpose,
Purposefully,
Or even became aware of a shift that you'd like to make.
And now you're beginning to practice.
Did you make an effort to come from love and compassion for yourself,
For another?
Allow yourself to notice and bring that experience to mind.
And sometimes our brain may at first like to make an effort to keep these unfamiliar thoughts from you.
We don't practice them often.
So this takes purpose and intention and effort.
So whatever comes up for you,
Allow it and be with it.
And remind yourself that you are safe in this moment and you are allowed to feel something new,
Something in service of you now,
A belief that serves you in your highest capacity.
You get to decide that now and redirect those limiting beliefs to whatever is more helpful.
Let us look at a new area of life.
Let's look at our mental health,
Our mindset.
And think of a time where you did something different recently,
Where you felt like you made a change.
In this area of your life,
Something you can feel good about in learning or in your mental health.
Maybe it was hitting play on this visualization.
Maybe it was opening up the app to listen,
To follow through on learning something new.
It can be general or you can get really specific.
Whatever feels appropriate for you today,
Go ahead and think about it.
And in that area of growth,
Mental health,
Bring it to mind and be with the feeling that it creates.
Now moving into the emotional body,
Into emotion,
I'm warming up to the idea that I am good enough.
Because recently in navigating my emotions,
I.
.
.
What is it for you?
Maybe you responded instead of reacting.
Maybe you took a breath in that in-between space that's so powerful.
Did you notice an emotion that you were feeling and honor it?
Or maybe it was something completely different.
Whatever it is for you,
Bring this to mind.
Did you feel acknowledged?
Maybe someone said something to you,
Noticed your efforts,
Appreciated your insight.
Or did you show up more fully in a space?
Feel extra connected,
Supportive or supported.
And affirm with me.
I'm warming up to the idea that I am good enough.
In all these areas,
I'm deciding right now that I'm good enough.
I'm warming up to the idea that I'm getting better and better.
And it's possible to feel good,
To feel like enough.
And I can feel that right now.
Let us move into the area of physical health,
Fitness,
Maybe nutrition.
And bring something to mind,
Bring a memory.
Something you did recently.
Maybe you followed through on a promise to yourself.
What change did you make or observation?
Maybe it was something someone recognized in you.
And that brought something new to your awareness.
Maybe you interrupted a pattern and started anew.
Said you were going to do something for yourself and did.
Grounding in the natural rhythm of your breath and noticing in your body.
What emotion does that create for you?
Maybe it's connection to self.
Feeling proud,
Fulfilled.
Adequate.
Appreciative.
Grateful.
And lastly,
Let's move into the area of finances.
It's a decision you made or a choice or a limit that you honored for yourself recently.
Or an experience at any point.
An experience where you felt good about your relationship with money.
And consider what that might mean for you right now.
To be good enough in this area.
For your efforts.
For your decisions.
For the noticings.
Bring that choice to mind or that action or that interaction.
What are the characteristics of you that are good enough?
Bask in these feelings of adequacy,
Of enoughness,
Of fullness.
Be with that for yourself.
Be with those feelings of enoughness and affirm,
I'm warming up to the idea.
I am good enough.
I am enough.
I am worthy exactly as I am right now.
And placing your hand on your heart center in the center of your chest.
Connecting with your inner wisdom.
Thinking.
Acknowledging your inner wisdom,
Your inner guidance and system.
For these reminders.
For the effort in this practice.
And safely store these emotions right here in your heart.
And access them.
Whenever you'd like.
And I encourage you to utilize this practice often and consistently.
And set a goal for yourself beginning to even implement this.
Science shows us,
Neuroscience shows us that it takes at least 21 days to start shifting and creating new thoughts.
Into new beliefs.
And then we keep going for a couple more rounds to create true sustainable change.
So I invite you to join me each day.
Utilize this practice.
And allow yourself an opportunity to shift into new,
Powerful,
Supportive,
Nurturing,
Compassionate and caring beliefs and inner dialogue.
That is in service of you now.
In service of your future.
I thank you for practicing with me.
And until next time.
Be well.
