Hello,
My name is Sam.
Welcome to this guided meditation which is all about self-esteem.
Before we get into it,
First of all,
Find a comfortable position sitting or lying down.
Take a moment to notice how you are feeling right now,
Physically and mentally.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and release the breath through your mouth.
Take another breath and allow your breathing to relax you as you exhale fully.
Breathing gently and as you breathe out,
Let the air carry the tension out of your body.
Continue to breathe slowly and gently as you begin to focus on relaxing your body.
Notice where your body is tense.
Focus your attention on one of these areas.
As you breathe,
Picture that part of your body becoming slightly more relaxed than it was before.
With each breath,
That part of your body becomes a little more relaxed.
Observe what relaxation feels like.
Maybe a little bit tingly,
Soft,
Gentle,
Calm,
Loose and free.
Let that feeling of relaxation grow.
Continue to breathe slowly and gently,
Deepening your state of relaxation more and more with each breath.
Deeper and deeper,
More and more relaxed,
Calm and at peace.
Now begin to create a picture in your mind.
Imagine a place where you feel completely at ease.
This might be a favorite place you've been to or somewhere you have seen or it might be completely imaginary.
It's up to you.
Picture this place where you feel happy and calm.
Create the details about this place in your mind.
Visualize the sights,
The sounds,
Remember the smells.
Imagine how you feel physically.
You're comfortable,
Enjoying the pleasant temperature,
Enjoying being still and relaxing or doing whatever enjoyable activities you participate in here.
Enjoy the way you feel in this safe place.
You feel calm and safe here,
At peace with yourself.
Remain in your peaceful place while you meditate calmly and build your self-esteem.
Now imagine that all of the following affirmations are true for you right now and enjoy the self-esteem relaxation you experience.
You can repeat each affirmation in your mind or out loud with conviction.
Use your imagination to fully believe each self-esteem relaxation affirmation.
Let's begin the affirmations now.
I am at peace with myself.
I appreciate who I am.
I value myself as a person.
All people have value and I am a valuable human being.
I deserve to relax.
I deserve to be happy.
I embrace my happy feelings and enjoy being content.
I imagine and believe that all of these affirmations are true for me right now in this moment.
I accept my emotions.
I look forward to the good times.
My future is bright and positive.
I look forward to the future and I enjoy the present.
I look fondly upon many memories from my past.
I forgive myself for my mistakes.
I am a good person.
I forgive myself for my errors.
I feel good about who I am today.
I accept the person that I am.
I accept my flaws and I accept my strengths.
I view my shortcomings as strengths not yet developed rather than as weaknesses.
I eagerly develop new strengths.
I imagine and believe that all of these affirmations are true for me right now in this moment.
I approach challenges with strength.
I do the best that I can at the time.
I give 100% effort when I am able to.
I accept my imperfections.
My efforts are good enough and they are okay.
I do not have to be perfect to be okay as a person.
I enjoy being who I am.
I love myself as I am.
I nurture the child within me.
I feel secure in who I am and do not need to compare myself to others.
All of the strengths I have ever had are present in me today.
I accept myself.
I care for myself.
I deserve time for myself.
I handle difficulties with grace.
I allow myself to experience and express emotions both negative and positive.
I accept myself.
I am perfectly alright just the way I am.
I accept myself.
I am a valuable human being.
I accept myself.
I feel confident.
I accept myself.
I feel secure.
I accept myself.
Let's think again about your peaceful place.
Picture yourself enjoying this environment and acknowledge the feelings you are experiencing after having repeated these affirmations.
Accept any positive or negative feelings you are having.
Just allow yourself to feel calm and at peace.
Now it's time to leave your special place but know that you can return here in your imagination at any time to relax,
To feel calm and to feel safe.
In a moment I'll count to three.
If you choose to sleep you can drift away into a pleasant relaxing sleep.
If you wish to become fully awake you can increase your alertness and feel energized on the count of three.
One.
Take a deep cleansing breath in and exhale slowly.
Two.
Take another deep breath and exhale.
Three.
You are feeling calm,
Confident and refreshed.
Thank you for joining me today for this meditation on self-esteem.
I hope you have a wonderful day and I wish you all the best.
