Welcome to day 19 of Insight Timer's intention setting challenge.
Setting an intention is making a decision about who you want to be and how you choose to show up.
Over time,
Those choices become change.
Let's begin.
Hello,
My name is Joel Cross.
And in today's practice,
We're focusing on your inherent worth.
The kind that isn't earned or measured or given by anyone else.
In a world that constantly asks us to prove ourselves,
It's easy to forget the truth.
You were born worthy,
Always have been worthy,
And you'll always be worthy.
Your value isn't tied to how well you perform,
How much you give,
Or who approves of you.
Your worth is something you carry simply by being here,
By being human,
By being you.
So today,
We'll reconnect with that quiet truth.
The one beneath the noise of pressure and expectation.
To achieve that,
We're setting the intention.
Today I'll remember.
My worth is inherent.
Allow your eyes to gently close.
Savoring a low belly breath in,
Settle into your body.
And as you exhale,
Settle your body into your seat.
Another low belly breath,
And let go of anything you've been holding,
Ruminating on.
Any fear,
Worry,
Or doubt.
Exhale and arrive right here,
And now in this present moment.
Another low belly breath,
Breathing into your heart space,
Exhaling and returning to your essence,
Present to your essential nature.
That which remains steadfast and constant.
That which witnesses each thought and processes them.
Each critique and notices them.
That which is your unique way in this world.
Your unique gifts.
Your unique light.
Your one-of-a-kind way of perceiving life and making sense of it all.
The way you show up for others in your personal and professional life.
The things that only you and one other will ever witness or understand.
All of this makes you more rare than any precious diamond or gemstone.
Your unique essence is invaluable,
Inherently worthy.
And so to honor it,
We take a moment before we go,
To place one hand on your chest.
And with a low belly breath in,
Feel your heartbeat.
Exhale and remember that your heartbeat is a symbol of your essence.
The effortless,
Constant being you are.
You don't have to earn your right to be here.
You are already enough.
Now,
Repeating silently after me,
We set the intention.
Today,
I'll remember.
My worth is inherent.
One more low belly breath in.
Feeling that intention in your entire being.
Exhale,
Soften,
And gently open your eyes,
Returning to the room.
On the next few screens,
You'll be invited to set this intention,
Or your own version of it,
On your Insight Timer home screen.
The simple act of seeing your intention reflected back throughout the day is enough to create change.
May your decisions,
Connections,
And actions all honor your inherent worthiness.
Much love and light.
