Building confidence and letting go of self-doubt.

Welcome to this guided meditation session.

Before we begin,

Please make sure that you are in a relatively quiet space and turn off any devices that might be distracting.

Now please find yourself a comfortable posture that promotes a long neutral spine.

Drop your shoulders from your ears and soften your belly.

Gently close your eyes,

Turning your attention and awareness inwards.

Let's take a few nice and deep breaths.

Breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your nose.

If you notice some tension in any particular part of the body,

Use your exhalation to release as much of it as you can.

Breathe in,

Filling your lungs with fresh air and breathe out,

Letting go of any mental or physical tension.

We will take a few moments to practice in this way,

Using your exhalation to release any tensions.

Good.

I invite you now to bring to your mind a difficult situation.

It may be something coming up that is causing feelings of fear or anxiety,

Or something you went through in the recent past that made you feel insecure or unworthy.

Recognize any fear or aversion that comes up as you bring this event to your mind.

Notice it and let it go.

Don't get involved in those feelings,

But simply allow them to be there without judgment.

Maybe you need to have a difficult conversation with a loved one or have an upcoming appointment that is bringing some anxiety.

Rather than playing out the story in your head as usual,

Try asking yourself what the best version of you would do.

How would you handle this situation from a place of confidence?

Visualize yourself handling the situation with complete kindness,

Care,

Mindfulness,

Patience and wisdom.

And as you keep that image in your mind,

Make a special effort to notice that feeling of confidence within you.

How does it feel?

Let's stay there for a few moments,

Evoking those feelings of competence,

Strength and confidence.

Allow yourself to feel strong and confident,

And let's stay immersed in that feeling for a few moments.

And now,

When you feel ready,

Take a few deep breaths.

Become aware of your surroundings,

Stretching your body if you feel like.

Let's finish this session by gently opening your eyes and bringing a smile to your face.

Thank you for practicing with me today.
