Find a comfortable position.
Sit or lie down.
Make yourself comfortable and relax.
Gently close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And slowly exhale.
Again,
Inhale deeply.
And exhale completely.
One more time.
Slow inhale.
Soft,
Gentle exhale.
Now allow your breathing to return to normal.
Bring your awareness to this present moment.
Right here.
Right now.
You are safe.
You are supported.
Happiness doesn't mean everything is perfect.
It simply means you choose light even in small ways.
Take a moment to think of one small thing you are grateful for today.
It could be your breath,
Your family,
Your body or simply this quiet pause.
Just appreciate one grateful thing for today.
Feel that gratitude gently expanding in your heart.
Now imagine a soft,
Warm light inside your chest.
This light is your inner joy.
It has always been there.
It is inside you.
With every inhale,
This light grows brighter.
With every exhale,
It spreads through your body.
Your face softens.
Your shoulders relax.
Your heart feels lighter.
Repeat silently in your mind with complete feeling and awareness.
I choose positivity.
I choose peace.
I deserve happiness.
You don't need a big reason to smile.
Sometimes being alive is reason enough.
If negativity comes,
Don't push it away.
Simply say,
I see you but I choose better thoughts.
You are stronger than your doubts.
Brighter than your fears.
Capable of beautiful things.
Take a deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Gently smile.
Feel that smile travel through your body.
Light,
Calm,
Positive.
Stay here for a few natural breaths.
And when you are ready,
Slowly move your fingers.
Move your toes.
Take one last deep breath in.
And slowly exhale.
Open your eyes,
Carrying this light within you.
Happiness begins inside you.
And you can return to it anytime.
