Good morning and welcome to this moment of self-empowerment.
By taking this time to nurture your confidence and self-belief,
You're choosing to meet the day with strength and resilience.
Together we'll connect to your inner power,
Build a foundation of self-worth and prepare you to face whatever comes with courage and with grace.
So let's begin by finding a comfortable position,
Sitting tall yet relaxed or lying down with your hands,
Resting gently by your sides.
When you feel ready to do so,
Close your eyes softly or if you prefer to keep them open,
Just let your gaze rest unfocused.
Then take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your chest and belly with air.
Hold it for a moment at the top,
Letting that breath symbolise your strength and presence.
Then when you're ready,
Exhale slowly out through your mouth,
Releasing any doubts or tension.
Let's do this two more times together.
Inhale deeply,
Hold briefly at the top,
Then when you're ready,
Exhale slowly,
Feeling yourself grow a little more grounded each time.
So one more time now.
Nice big inhale,
Right down into your belly,
Just holding at the top for a few seconds and then a nice long slow exhale out through the mouth,
Just releasing any tension stored in the body.
Excellent.
Now we've had those deep breaths,
Just let your breathing return to finding its natural rhythm.
With each inhale,
Just feel a sense of power and possibility entering your body and with each exhale,
Feel that you're letting go of anything that doesn't serve you.
Self-doubt,
Fear,
Hesitation,
Just getting breathed out with each breath.
Feel also the weight of your body against the surface beneath you,
Feeling steady and supported.
This is your foundation,
A reminder of your resilience and your capability.
Now imagine yourself standing tall in a place where you feel powerful and at ease.
Perhaps it's a room filled with sunlight,
A peaceful clearing in nature or some other space that just feels uniquely yours.
See yourself as your most confident self,
Standing with your shoulders back,
Your head held high and a soft,
Assured smile on your face.
Visualise yourself stepping into the day ahead.
Picture a situation where you want to feel confident.
See yourself navigating the situation with ease and composure.
Perhaps it's a conversation,
A meeting or a moment where you're going to need to take decisive action.
In your mind's eye,
Watch as you carry yourself with poise and clarity.
Notice how others respond positively to your confidence and your presence.
Feel a sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from showing up fully as your best self.
Let this version of your confident,
Empowered self be a guide for how you move through the day.
Now let's anchor this sense of confidence with some affirmations.
Repeat these silently or aloud,
Letting each one strengthen your belief in yourself.
I am capable,
Strong and worthy.
I trust myself to handle whatever comes my way.
I am resilient and rise to challenges with courage.
My confidence inspires those around me.
And perhaps most importantly of all,
I am enough,
Just as I am.
Take a moment to notice how these affirmations feel in your body.
Let them plant seeds of strength and assurance deep within you.
For the next few minutes,
See if you can simply rest in this sense of self-assurance and confidence.
See if you can just focus on your breath,
Feeling it flow steadily in and out.
With each inhale,
Draw in strength and with each exhale,
Release any lingering doubts.
Feel the innate power of your presence,
The energy of your own resilience and capability.
And now just simply let yourself be fully connected to your confidence and just resting in being.
Awesome,
Great work.
Just take in one last deep breath now.
Breathing in through the nose,
Holding at the top for a second and just letting it out,
Slowly out through the mouth.
Begin to bring your awareness back to your present surroundings.
Perhaps gently wiggle your fingers and your toes and when you feel ready to do so,
Gently opening your eyes.
As you return back to your present environment,
Remember that you are capable of meeting today with courage and with strength.
The confidence you've cultivated in this moment is always within you,
Ready to be called upon whenever you might need it.
Remember to thank yourself as well for taking this time to nurture your self-belief.
You are enough,
Exactly as you are and you carry the power to face whatever comes your way.
So go forward with trust in yourself,
Knowing that you are resilient,
Confident and ready to shine.
Have a lovely day.
