Close your eyes,

Take a deep breath in and as you exhale,

Let go of all the stories,

All the expectations,

All the noise that has ever made you question your worth.

Today we're going to do something radical,

We're going to see you,

The real you,

The way love sees you,

Not through this lens of self-judgment,

Not through the expectations of others and not through the impossible standards the world has tried to place on you,

But through love,

Pure,

Unconditional,

Infinite love.

Imagine standing in front of a mirror,

Not the kind that reflects only your outer self,

But a mirror that reflects your essence,

Your heart,

Your true energy.

Who is the person standing there?

What do they carry inside of them?

What have they overcome?

What makes them beautifully,

Undeniably them?

Look at this reflection with fresh eyes,

Not with the eyes that critique,

Compare or diminish,

Not with the voice that says not enough,

But with the eyes of someone who loves you unconditionally.

If you could see yourself the way love sees you,

If you could see yourself the way the universe,

The people who cherish you and your highest self sees you,

What would you realize?

You would see someone who has been through so much and kept going.

You would see a heart that has loved,

Lost,

Healed and still dares to open again.

You would see a soul that is growing,

Learning and doing its best every single day.

You are not your mistakes and you are not your past.

You are not the voice of self-doubt that sometimes creeps in.

You are love,

You are light,

You are worthy and it's time to see yourself that way.

Place your hands over your heart.

Feel that steady rhythmic pulse,

That is your essence,

Your truth,

Your power.

Whisper to yourself or say it in your mind,

I see myself with love.

I choose to love who I am today.

I am enough exactly as I am.

Let these words settle into every part of you because this is who you are.

You are love.

You are whole.

You are enough.

And today,

You get to live in that truth.

You are so,

So loved.
