Compassionate Affirmations: I Choose To Honour My Challenges

In this track, Reuben guides us in a particular way, to help us drop into a spiritual connection with ourselves. We do this by honoring the challenges that we have faced.

We will get to use these specific affirmations, in the acknowledgment and honoring of our challenges. The ambient cinematic music is designed to help us connect to this in an emotive way. This ideally is to bring us into a wiser and kinder acknowledgment, and a deeper appreciation of ourselves.

Transcript

Today is about the honoring of your challenges. I choose to honor my challenges. Relax, Give yourself the right to be here now. As the countdown from 10 to one takes place. You can either, One, Allow yourself to soften into this moment, Surrendering to the pull of gravity as it gently holds you, Or two, You can listen to the space between the numbers. Let's drop into this. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. I choose me first. Honoring my challenges. Honoring myself. Honoring my growth. And honoring my future self. I am coming to know, More and more, That I am the one person who knows exactly what I have been through. I am coming to know, More and more, That I am the one person in my life who can be there for myself when I'm faced with a challenge. As I choose to honor my challenges, I choose to acknowledge unhelpful thoughts and to remember this is part of the human condition, Especially when going through tough times. As I choose to honor my challenges, I choose to acknowledge unwanted feelings and to remember this is part of the human condition, Especially when going through tough times. As I choose to honor my challenges, I don't have to like them or want them and in making room for them, I get to choose who I am in the face of them. As I choose to honor my challenges, I choose to gently acknowledge that this tough life has gentleness within it and has compassion within it. My dear sweet soul, There you are. I choose to affirm this to you right now. I appreciate the you that has shown up today. Your challenges are valid. You've been through so much. Thank you. As I choose to honor my challenges, I bring some gentle flexibility to the obstacles in my life. I see these as a chance to move through this and deepen the connection to my soul. I acknowledge that I struggled at times. I acknowledge that I gave up at times. I acknowledge that it seemed foggy and confusing at times. As I choose to honor my challenges, I know that I am the one human being who can always be there for me no matter what. As I choose to honor my challenges, I know that I am the one person that knows exactly what it's like to be me and how difficult things can get. As I choose to honor my challenges, I acknowledge these experiences will happen again in the future, And I choose to hold myself lightly. As I choose to honor my challenges, I am coming to know more and more that I am supposed to disconnect. This is so that I can reconnect with my sense of self, With my soul. As I choose to honor my challenges, I am here for me. Me first. I am here for me. Honoring my challenges, Honoring myself, Honoring my growth, And honoring my future self. And so it is.

Reviews

This meditation reminded me that my ongoing challenges can be met with acceptance and compassion.

And so it is indeed.
Probably my biggest daily challenge at this time is physical pain. I choose to hold myself lightly and to appreciate all the good things in my life. Helen Keller says: ‘Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it’ and she is right.
I can overcome, I do overcome, I will overcome.
Thank you Reuben 🙏

I loved this ever so much - it filled my heart to listen to the sound of the gong, the wind chimes and then the music and I waited for your words to flow and wash over me. And as it finished it began to rain over here merging what I heard with reality. I don’t know if I have made any sense at all but despite the countless times I have listened to I Choose Me First, today seemed even more special. Dear Reuben, Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💜 🤍.

This was really good! As always….😊 Thank you dear Reuben!🙏🏻❤️
