We are now going to begin a confidence meditation.
So begin by settling into a seated position.
Make sure you are comfortable and warm and now focus on your breathing.
What does your breath feel like as it enters your nose and exits your mouth?
Keep breathing and noticing how your entire body feels.
If you're holding any tension,
Notice your shoulders,
Your back and your jaw.
For many people those areas tend to hold tension,
So invite yourself to release the tension there.
Begin to feel the warmth and confidence as you continue to take long breaths.
Now repeat the following confidence affirmation with warmth towards yourself.
I am comfortable and confident being my true self.
The people around me enjoy spending time with me.
I approach each new situation with confidence and a belief in my own abilities.
I am not afraid to take risks because I believe in my ability to adapt.
I'm quick to apologize for mistakes but I don't apologize for my emotions or for being myself.
Validation from others doesn't matter to me.
I only need validation from myself.
I respect myself when others make me feel small.
I choose to stand up for myself.
I choose self-support over self-deprecation.
I choose to say what I believe without worrying about judgment from others or criticism from others.
I'm allowed to let go of people who don't make me happy.
Each time I make a mistake I learn and grow.
I deserve to feel strong and confident.
I deserve to believe in myself.
Every part of me is worthy,
Even my flaws and imperfections.
It is my flaws that make me perfect.
My confidence is contagious.
People in my company feel great absorbing my energy.
Everything I need is already with me.
Whatever I envision for myself and my life is possible.
Obstacles only motivate me to keep trying.
I am smart,
Persistent and capable.
My mood is independent on the opinions of others.
Leaving my comfort zone is hard but I know growth is on the other side.
I only compare myself with the past version of me and not with other people.
When I make a decision I stand by it.
I express my true self.
Confidence comes easily to me.
I fully believe in myself,
In my own talent and capabilities.
Everything I want is on its way to me.
I love the person I'm becoming.
And when you're ready you can bring the focus back to your breathing and open your eyes and just noticing how you feel after this confidence meditation.
Try to bring these feelings of confidence with you throughout the day and remember whenever you need it,
It is already with you.
