Mesmerising Gongs & Affirmations: As I Choose Me First

This is a 4-minute affirmation meditation, led by Reuben, designed to gently ground you in the power of self-honouring. With mesmerising gongs woven throughout—and after each affirmation—you’re invited to absorb each phrase more deeply, allowing your inner world to soften and realign. This is a moment to show up for yourself, just as you are, right now. Let these affirmations guide you back to your sense of spirituality and remind you of the quiet strength in choosing you first.

Welcome to this practice.

My name is Ruben.

This moment is a sacred moment.

Tuning in to the sound of the bell,

Allowing it to fixate your experience.

As I choose me first,

I choose to be here for me,

I choose to be here now.

As I choose me first,

It feels different to start with.

It can take a little getting used to.

As I choose me first,

I gently recognize that life is difficult,

And that in acknowledging this I am worthy of self-care.

As I choose me first,

I gently recognize that life is difficult,

And that in acknowledging this I choose to be okay with not being okay.

As I choose me first,

I choose to let myself off the hook when I slip up.

As I choose me first,

I let go of regret,

Because I know that given my level of consciousness I had at that time,

I was doing the best I could.

As I choose me first,

I accept myself just as I am,

Because deep down I know that I deserve this.

As I choose me first,

I choose to accept myself with a pause and a gentle half-smile from time to time.

And so it is.
