Make yourself comfortable.
Close down your eyes or if you prefer,
Leave them open in a soft gaze.
Take a deep breath in and then breathe out.
Breathe in,
Breathe out.
Let's slowly breathe through the body,
From the tip of the toes to the crown of the head.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
And as we do that,
Release any tension that may be in our bodies.
Maybe in your hands and feet,
Legs and arms,
Tummy,
Hips or buttocks,
Chest.
Your shoulders,
Relax them.
Your face,
Around your eyes,
Relax your jaw.
Just release any tension you can.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
Just breathe in and out slowly.
I invite you to bring the intention to hold yourself with kindness and compassion as you develop an affirmation to practice this week.
Breathing in and breathing out.
There is a great amount of research about the benefits of affirmations.
They help us focus,
They have the power to motivate us,
They are self-empowering,
They help us access new belief systems and positive thinking,
They make us more resilient.
As you choose your affirmation for this week,
Remember there are three Ps to intentions or affirmations.
They need to be positive,
Personal and in the present tense.
So instead of I will be less fearful,
Make it I am brave.
As we continue to breathe in and out,
Can you think of an affirmation you want for this week?
If not,
That's okay.
You can use one of mine.
I choose to be happy.
I am safe.
I am at peace.
I let it be.
I am strong.
I am enough.
And as we breathe in and out,
We will keep repeating the affirmation.
I am enough.
I am enough.
I am enough.
Breathing in,
Breathing out.
I will leave you in silence to practice.
Breathing in,
I am breathing out enough.
