Closing your eyes and allowing your body to relax.
Know that you are safe and protected at all times.
Let's begin by taking in three deep,
Relaxing breaths.
In through your nose and out through your mouth.
As you exhale,
Allowing any stress or tension to leave your body.
As you breathe in and out,
Allowing calm and relaxation to shower your head.
Allowing any tightness from your head and your neck to disappear.
And now releasing the tension from your shoulders and your arms,
As your hands and fingers relax.
As you continue to breathe in and out,
Allowing this sense of calm and relaxation to flow through your body.
To travel down your spine,
Embracing your back,
Your stomach and your hips,
As they all relax.
And now allowing this release to remove any tightness from your thighs and your calves.
As your feet and toes relax.
Feeling embraced in ultimate peace and feeling as light as a feather.
Now seeing yourself standing at the edge of a vast landscape.
The air is warm.
The light is gentle.
The world feels safe.
Before you stretches a long wooden bridge.
It is beautifully crafted,
Strong and steady.
Suspended over a calm river that reflects the sky like polished glass.
This bridge represents your confidence.
Not something that you must create,
But something that already exists within you.
Something that has carried you through every moment of your life.
You take a slow step onto the bridge.
You feel the wood beneath your feet.
Feel how it supports you without question.
With each step,
Notice how the bridge responds to you.
It does not shake.
It does not waver.
It simply holds you.
As you walk,
The river below begins to shimmer with memories of times where you have been brave.
Moments when you spoke up.
Moments when you trusted yourself.
Moments when you walked into the unknown.
And found your way.
These memories rise like soft golden lights,
Drifting upward to surround you.
Let these lights settle into your chest.
Feel them warming you from the inside.
This warmth is your confidence.
It is not loud.
It is not forceful.
It is steady.
It is grounded.
It is yours.
Ahead,
At the far end of the bridge,
You see a gathering of people.
They are smiling.
They are open.
They are simply humans,
Just like you.
Each with their own hopes and fears.
There is no pressure here.
Only connection.
As you continue walking,
Imagine that every step strengthens the glow in your heart.
Every step reminds you that you belong.
Every step affirms that you are capable of meeting new people with ease and authenticity.
When you reach the end of the bridge,
You pause and place a hand over your heart.
Feel the warmth.
Feel the steadiness.
Feel the truth that you are enough,
Exactly as you are.
Now imagine stepping into the gathering.
You are calm.
You are calm.
You are grounded.
You are curious.
You are open.
You do not need to perform.
You do not need to impress.
You simply arrive as yourself.
And that is more than enough.
Let this feeling settle into your body.
Let it become a memory your nervous system can return to whenever you need.
And then taking a slow breath in through your nose.
And then releasing the breath through your mouth.
Knowing that this confidence is within you.
And when you're ready,
Gently opening your eyes and returning to your day.
Thank you for joining me.
