As we head into the winter season in the northern hemisphere, there is a natural urge to slow down but our societal demands to stay productive and high energy (like in the summer months) contradict our body's natural desire to go dormant into recovery mode. Syncing with the seasons is a crucial way to live in harmony with our Earth, not against it. Here are 10 affirmations to let you slow down guilt-free. Follow along and repeat to yourself internally or out loud. 1. I am worthy even when I am not productive. 2. The season is slowing and so am I. 3. Peace flows through me when I slow down. 4. Healing and recovery is productive. 5. I am enough, even when I rest 6. I accept changes in my energy, just as I accept the changing of the seasons. 7. I release guilt around what I should be doing and just be. 8. I am worthy no matter the pace of my life. 9. I am loved. 10. I am present

For this affirmation practice,

Start to get comfortable in a nice tall seat like you would for a meditation position.

If you'd like to boost the effectiveness of these affirmations,

You can look at yourself in the mirror standing tall,

Gazing into your eyes and repeat these affirmations to yourself.

Whichever you choose,

Begin to find your position to practice these affirmations.

There will be 10 affirmations total.

After I say an affirmation,

You can repeat it to yourself either out loud or in your mind.

Start to settle in,

Close down the eyes if you are taking a seated meditation position,

Or gaze into your eyes if you are looking at the mirror.

Take a few nice smooth breaths,

Clearing your mind of any thoughts,

Any to-do's,

Softening the upper brow and lower brow,

And relaxing the shoulders.

Mindfully open up your heart to receive these words of affirmation,

To embrace the slowness of the season.

Repeat to yourself,

I am worthy even when I am not productive,

The season is slowing and so am I.

Peace flows through me when I slow down.

Healing and recovery is productive.

I am enough even when I rest.

I accept changes in my energy just as I accept the changing of the seasons.

I release guilt around what I should be doing and just be.

I am worthy no matter the pace of my life.

I am loved.

I am present.

We'll go through these 10 affirmations again,

This time repeat the affirmation to yourself three times.

Tell yourself three times,

I am worthy even when I am not productive,

The season is slowing and so am I.

Peace flows through me when I slow down.

Healing and recovery is productive.

I am enough even when I rest.

I accept changes in my energy just as I accept the changing of the seasons.

I release guilt around what I should be doing and just be.

I am worthy no matter the pace of my life.

I am loved.

I am present.

Now feel the vibrations of these affirmations sink deep into your soul,

Deep into your heart.

If there are any that really resonated with you,

Tell them to yourself just one more time,

This sweet little affirmation just for you.

And when you're ready,

You can open your eyes and take one deep breath in,

Feeling the words sink deep into your body.

And exhale out,

Breathing these affirmations out into existence,

Into the universe.

Thank you so much for joining me today.

Enjoy your rest and take it easy this fall and winter season.
