Hi there.
My name is Bill.
And I want to welcome you to this calming affirmation.
Focusing on regaining and keeping your strength.
During transitions.
Transitions often ask us to hold a great deal of uncertainty.
When the landscape around us shifts.
It is natural for the mind to search for solid ground.
Even if we feel like there isn't any.
Right now.
In this moment.
Let your breath become that ground.
You don't need to figure out the path ahead.
You only need to be here.
For the step you are on.
So when you are ready.
Find a comfortable place to settle.
Either lying down or sitting.
Or even standing.
And when you're comfortable.
Take a long.
.
.
Slow,
Deep breath.
And let's begin.
In your comfortable position.
Let your body settle into the surface beneath you.
Close your eyes.
Or soften your gaze.
Take a long,
Slow breath in,
Letting your belly expand.
And let it go with a deep,
Releasing breath out through your mouth.
Dropping your shoulders away from your ears.
And letting everything soften.
Let's take one more shared breath.
Inhale deeply.
Creating space in your chest.
And exhale completely.
Feeling the surface beneath you fully supporting your weight.
Bring your awareness to the crown of your head.
Softening the forehead and the space between your eyebrows.
Unclench Your Jaw.
Let your tongue rest gently away from the roof of your mouth Feel your ribs expand and contract with the natural rhythm of your breath.
Notice any tension you might be holding in your chest or stomach.
Those are the places where we often store anticipation.
With your next Excel.
Give those areas permission to soften.
Just 10% more.
That's good.
Now as I speak each phrase,
Let the words land in your mind.
You can repeat them silently to yourself.
Or say them out loud.
Feeling how they resonate in your body.
I am safe in the space between where I was and where I am going.
Change is not my enemy.
It is the process through which my life renews itself.
I do not need to see the entire staircase to take the next steady step.
I honor the past for what it taught me.
And I give myself permission.
To let it go.
My strength does not come from rigidity.
My strength comes from my ability to adapt.
And grow.
Take a long deep breath into that thought.
And feel the quiet power in your own flexibility.
Now repeat these phrases.
I trust my inner wisdom to guide me through unfamiliar territory.
I have weathered uncertainty before.
And every time.
I discovered more of who I am.
I give myself grace for the messy,
Unfinished days.
Even when the external world feels turbulent.
I can always return to this calm,
Rooted center.
Rest here for a moment,
In the stillness and peace.
And feel the steady rise and fall of your chest Remember,
Transition is not a void to fear.
Transition is a fertile ground.
You are carrying forward everything you've learned.
Leaving behind.
What no longer serves you.
And are stepping into the next chapter with resilience and grace.
Begin to deepen your breath.
Bring subtle movement back to your fingers and toes.
And gently roll your shoulders up toward your ears.
And let them melt down your back.
Place a hand over your head.
Feeling the steady rhythm beneath your palm.
This is your constant anchor in every season.
When you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes,
Taking in the space around you with renewed calm.
And steady mind.
Wherever you are.
You are amazing.
And worthy of being free from anxiety about transitions in your life.
And taking these few minutes to reconnect with your inner resilience and strength.
Is a way to be kind to yourself.
You deserve that.
As you continue to breathe in and out.
Use your breath to anchor yourself in the moment.
Knowing that this time is just for you.
And taking a few minutes to recharge yourself.
Is something you deserve to do for yourself.
Especially when you need a break from those thoughts of uncertainty or when the weight of the transition seems particularly heavy.
You can and should congratulate yourself on.
For taking care of the most important person in your life.
And you are so very deserving of a few minutes of calm and peace.
Have a wonderful rest of your day or night.
That your resilience.
And this affirmation.
Are anchors you can return to whenever you need.
And I extend my well wishes of healing and of peace to you.
Until next time.
Be well.
