Take some time to settle in.
Notice how you feel both internally and externally.
And when you're ready,
Find your place where you can settle in.
Either seated,
Lying down,
Whatever feels cozy to you today.
Take a big inhale through your nose.
Fill up those lungs.
And then exhale,
Let everything go.
Let's do that two more times.
Big breath in through your nose.
Fill up the lungs.
Then exhale,
Release and let it go.
Last time with me.
Deep breath in.
Fill up like a balloon.
Hold it at the top and then exhale.
Release and surrender.
Let that go.
Now just continue to breathe normally.
Whatever pace feels best for you.
Just settle in,
Allowing your body and mind to release the tensions from the day.
Feel your muscles releasing and letting go.
Feel your whole body getting heavier.
As you continue to breathe,
Just let your mind go to a place where you feel comfortable and happy.
It may look like an island.
It may be your favorite store or vacation spot.
It may even be someplace you've never been before.
Notice who's around you,
The smells and sights and sensations in your happy place.
And just let the scene overwhelm your mind.
Notice how this makes you feel.
Notice what's shifted already.
Maybe you feel a little bit more lighter,
A little bit more open,
A little bit more loving and kind.
Know that this is your safe place.
The place where you can be at peace with yourself.
And as you stay in this place with me,
I'm going to say some lines.
And I welcome you to just repeat them silently to yourself.
I am comfortable with who I am.
I am worthy of appreciation.
I am worthy of respect.
I deserve to unwind.
I deserve to live a life worth living.
I enjoy being happy.
I understand that bad moods do not last.
I understand that pain is only temporary.
My future is full of potential.
I am excited for the future.
I value the present.
I forgive myself for the mistakes I've made.
It's alright to make mistakes.
I feel good about who I am.
I accept who I am.
It's okay to feel sad at times.
I accept who I am.
I have many strengths that counter my weaknesses.
I accept who I am.
I am a confident human being.
I accept who I am.
Now return to your safe place once again and refresh your mind of all the details in the scene you previously painted.
Just allow yourself to take it all in.
Feel the joy,
The happiness,
The love,
The safety in every vessel and every cell of your body.
Maybe even it brings a smile to your face.
Inhale deep.
Exhale release.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Notice how you feel.
Notice how you're more calm and stress free and peaceful.
Know that you can return to this any time you need.
Your comfortable safe place is always there for you.
I love and care about you deeply.
Have a beautiful day.
