Welcome to Meditation Tides with Michelle Sanctuary.
Let this morning practice remind you of something simple.
Get something true.
You are worth celebrating.
Exactly as you are.
Before the day asks anything of you at all.
This guided meditation.
Celebrating you.
Is designed to help you meet the day.
From a place of self-appreciation.
Rather than self-judgment.
I am Michelle,
And you may think of my voice as.
.
.
As a longtime trusted friend.
This moment is yours.
Already whole.
And already worth honoring.
As we proceed,
Set aside any rush to get moving,
Any urge to fix or improve yourself before the day even starts.
Right now,
You only need to breathe and remember that you are someone worth celebrating.
As you get comfortable sitting or lying down,
Let out a long,
Easy sigh.
Release any tightness in your body.
In the aftermath of sleep.
Just let it go as you awaken to new possibilities.
Take in a slow,
Full breath.
Drawing it deep into your belly.
Imagine it carries the crispness of early morning air and hold it a moment.
Then sigh it out.
And feel your shoulders drop away from your ears.
With each breath.
Send your body one simple message.
You are worth celebrating.
Even before the day begins.
Cross your arms around your chest in a gentle hug.
Even if it feels a little unusual.
Let yourself have this.
Say quietly.
I am proud of who I am.
I deserve to feel good.
I deserve to feel love.
Take a moment to notice everything that brought you here.
You woke up.
And opened your eyes to a new day.
However that fells.
You found your way to this moment.
To this small pocket of time.
Set aside just for you.
That is worth celebrating.
Not the big milestones.
Not the thing still ahead of you.
Just this.
Showing up for yourself today.
Exactly as you are.
There is no version of you.
That you need to become today.
For tomorrow.
For you're allowed to feel this pride.
You don't have to wait for the productive day.
A good mood.
You are already someone worth honoring.
Simply by showing up.
Present in your own life.
As you sit with this.
Let this voice settle in.
You are worth celebrating.
Not despite where you are today.
But because of it.
You're capable.
You've made it this far.
And you can carry the sense of honor with you.
Into whatever the hours ahead hold.
With each breath.
Let these affirmations rise with you like the morning sun.
I am worth celebrating.
Just as I am.
Showing up for myself is enough.
I trust myself to handle whatever comes.
I deserve to celebrate all moments.
Big and small.
Take one more deep breath.
Feeling the solid ground beneath you.
The light growing around you.
You can carry this feeling with you.
For the rest of the day.
Whenever you're ready.
Wiggle your fingers and toes.
Open your eyes.
And step out into your day.
Celebrated and ready to begin.
