In a few short minutes,
We're going to let go of anything that stands in the way of your showing up as your authentic self,
Your true self,
Your powerful self.
Let's start with a deep breath.
Slow down.
Let all the mental chatter become quiet.
Your choice to become conscious before going into a situation that might be challenging sets you apart from the majority of all the humans on this planet.
So give yourself a thumbs up and a heart emoji and take another deep breath.
And as you release that breath,
Set an intention for the event that awaits you.
It can be as simple as,
My intention is to be present.
My intention is to have fun,
To just be myself,
To listen.
My intention is to be the change I want to see.
Follow up your intention with the statement,
This or something better,
For the highest good of all concerned.
What are you feeling right now?
If it's positive,
Enjoy that energy.
If you're feeling upset,
Try to get as specific as possible.
What is the feeling?
Is it fear?
Is it anger?
Is it a feeling of unworthiness?
Next,
What is the story that's creating the feeling?
Some examples,
It's unsafe to just be myself,
I'm going to be rejected.
Another story might be how other people react to me determines my value.
I should be fill in the blank,
Or I shouldn't be fill in the blank.
Often our stories are judgments.
So ask yourself,
Am I making something right or wrong,
Good or bad,
And there's an emotional charge to that judgment.
Now,
If you're struggling with this,
Be willing to accept the possibility that you're telling yourself something on an unconscious level that is creating the feeling.
If you do have a sense of what the story is,
The next question is,
Is that story true?
I suggest it's probably not.
But if there is some truth to the story,
If there is a chance of someone saying or doing something hurtful,
You'll be protected and here's how,
I want you to imagine that you're putting on a cape of protective light,
Divine armor,
That will deflect any negative energy and allow you to remain centered in your true self.
Breathe and hear this.
Your power resides in your ability to be vulnerable,
Heart open,
Present,
And making self-honoring choices.
Your power resides in your ability to know and remember that you are a divine creation and your higher power has your back.
Your authentic self is your gift to the world.
Breathe.
Acknowledge yourself for taking this moment.
Imagine the thumbs up and heart emoji appearing on your forehead.
Now,
Go and be you.
