This recording was created to increase confidence while speaking to and in front of others.
Now go ahead and find a comfortable and quiet place to sit or lie down,
Making sure there are little to no distractions around you.
Find a spot to stare at on the ceiling or wall while we begin with some deep breaths.
Go ahead and inhale,
Holding it at the top,
And slowly exhale.
Still staring at the spot,
Take another big inhale,
Filling up your belly and lungs,
And slowly let it go.
One more deep breath in,
And this time,
On the exhale,
Let your eyes softly close.
Take a moment to feel yourself sink into the chair as a wave of relaxation begins to flow over you.
If you have any distracting thoughts,
Just repeat what I say in your mind to bring you back to the sound of my voice.
Good.
Now we are going to begin with relaxing your body,
Starting at the top of your head.
Focus your attention around your forehead and temples and release any tension.
Allow your eyes to go soft and your jaw to drop.
Send that wave of relaxation down your neck and shoulders,
Feeling your neck loosen and shoulders relax every time you exhale.
Allow your arms,
Hands,
And fingers to be loose,
Limp,
And relaxed.
Your back muscles are loosening more and more.
Notice as your abdomen and hips relax even more.
Just send that relaxation into your glutes,
Down to your thighs,
Calves,
Feet,
And toes.
Good.
Now just take a moment here to send gratitude to your body for all the hard work it does day in and day out,
And just enjoy a few moments of total relaxation.
Imagine that you are floating on a leaf.
I'm going to count from seven down to one while you gently float on the leaf.
When I reach the number one,
Your leaf will delicately land in a beautiful place that your mind chooses.
Seven.
Feel yourself comfortably swaying on the leaf as it drifts slowly down,
Gently rocking.
Five.
Feel a gentle breeze on your cheeks as you sway.
Down.
Four.
Halfway there.
Slowly.
Two.
Doubling your relaxation as you drift peacefully down to one.
Your leaf gracefully lands with you in it.
Now step off the leaf and take in the beauty of the place that surrounds you.
A place of love.
A place of truth.
And appreciate the beauty around you for a moment.
Here is your truth.
You always know what you need to know when you need to know it.
You are confident and poised.
You find humor in situations when they don't go as planned,
And you let them go gracefully.
The moment you open your mouth to speak,
Your mind is focused and your words are concise and powerful.
Because you love yourself,
You give yourself grace.
Your body is relaxed and you breathe with ease in social situations.
You listen with love and send kindness to the person speaking.
You make appropriate eye contact and genuine facial expressions throughout your conversations.
More and more you feel comfortable speaking to and in front of others.
You always know what you need to know when you need to know it.
You are confident and poised.
You find humor in situations when they don't go as planned,
And you let them go gracefully.
The moment you open your mouth to speak,
Your mind is focused and your words are concise and powerful.
Because you love yourself,
You give yourself grace.
Your body is relaxed and you breathe with ease in social situations.
You listen with love and send kindness to the person speaking.
You make appropriate eye contact and genuine facial expressions throughout your conversations.
More and more you feel comfortable speaking to and in front of others.
You always know what you need to know when you need to know it.
You are confident and poised.
You find humor in situations when they don't go as planned,
And you let them go gracefully.
The moment you open your mouth to speak,
Your mind is focused and your words are concise and powerful.
Because you love yourself,
You give yourself grace.
Your body is relaxed and you breathe with ease in social situations.
You listen with love and send kindness to the person speaking.
You make appropriate eye contact and genuine facial expressions throughout your conversations.
More and more you feel comfortable speaking to and in front of others.
And so it is.
Now imagine,
Sense and feel that it is the near future and you are at a social engagement.
You present yourself with a calm and confident demeanor.
Every time you make eye contact with someone,
You offer them a genuine warm smile.
Conversations flow with ease and you notice that you are enjoying yourself.
You are fully present with the people around you and you feel connected.
Take a moment to visualize yourself mingling with others and making positive connections.
Make it as real and as vivid as possible in your mind.
Now in a moment I'm going to count you up.
When I reach the number 5,
Your eyes will open.
You will feel calm,
Relaxed and ready to enjoy the rest of your day.
1.
You are beginning to come back to your full awareness now.
2.
Slowly notice movement coming back into your body.
Begin to move your fingers and toes.
3.
Your entire body is relaxed and limber.
You feel fantastic.
4.
Begin to find more movement in your body.
And 5.
Open your eyes.
Take a nice deep breath in and stretch your arms and legs.
Take a moment now before carrying on with your day.
Right now may be a good time to journal about how you are feeling or about anything that came up.
For optimal results,
Listen to this recording every day.
Thank you so much for your time.
Have a beautiful day.
