Good morning,
And welcome to The Artist's Morning.
My name's Darius,
And today's meditation practice is intended to help you start your day feeling more confident,
More focused,
And perhaps believing in yourself more.
Let's begin our practice.
If your eyes are open,
I'd like you to find a comfortable seat and gently close them now.
As we begin to go inwards,
Just notice how you're feeling.
If you're open to it,
Start to take slower,
Deeper breaths as we give ourselves an opportunity to arrive,
Arrive in your seat,
In your body,
Arrive in this moment.
Taking a deep breath in and letting it all go.
A gentle reminder that you cannot get this meditation wrong.
There is no such thing as perfection,
So let's just let that go.
We are here today in the spirit of gentle,
Persistent progress,
Gentle,
Persistent progress.
I'm going to share some affirmations to help start your day with a positive mindset,
Believing in yourself,
Feeling good in your body,
So that whatever you have coming up for you this day,
You have an opportunity to bring your best self forward.
Let's take a deep breath as I begin with the affirmations.
Breathing in and gently letting it go.
Today is a blessing and a gift.
Today I choose to believe in myself.
Today I will do everything in my power to bring my deepest presence.
Today I will focus on my tasks to the best of my ability.
Today I choose to love myself.
Today I choose to love myself.
I will show this love for myself,
I will demonstrate it through my actions.
Today I will choose to eat healthy meals that are nourishing to my body.
Today I will be gentle with myself.
I don't need to be perfect.
Today I will be gentle with myself.
I don't need to be perfect.
At some point today I will choose to go on a walk in nature.
Today I will take deep nourishing breaths.
Today I will use my voice and speak my truth.
Today I will use my voice and speak my truth.
Today I will take small persistent steps towards my dreams.
Today I will take small persistent steps towards my dreams.
Today I know I am worthy of love.
Today I know I am worthy of love.
Today I will allow joy and laughter into my life.
Today I will allow joy and laughter into my life.
I choose to step into today with an open and welcoming heart.
I choose to step into this day with an open and welcoming heart.
Today I will believe in myself.
I will believe in myself.
We have just created a beautiful vortex of positivity.
You do not need to accept any or all of the affirmations I shared.
Reminder,
You cannot get this right or wrong.
It is an experiment.
It is a game we are playing together.
Using the energy of playfulness,
Progress,
Over-perfection,
Even 1% is a win.
What can happen to your day?
What can happen to your life if you were just a little bit more positive,
More loving,
Just a little bit more belief in yourself?
Today is a gift.
Not everybody makes it to this many days,
But you did.
It's here.
Today you are going to allow more abundance,
More joy to gently find their way into your life,
Imagining a beautiful river flowing.
There's nothing in the way.
This river,
This water is just flowing into your life because your heart is open and welcoming.
Can you feel this river,
This divine river of abundance flowing into your heart now?
If you'd like it to flow with more,
With more abundance,
The invitation here is to gently continue opening your heart with a nice tall spine,
Shoulders back,
Eyes pointed forward,
Embodying confidence,
Worthiness,
And self-belief,
Allowing the universe to bring this river of abundance into your heart.
Can you feel it in your body,
The pleasure,
The joy,
The safety?
This is our last song.
I'm going to stay quiet and allow you in this river of abundance to have some fun.
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
Let's take a deep breath and bring our meditation to an end.
Breathing in and letting it go.
This meditation is a great way to start your day full of positivity and belief in yourself.
And you can also do this meditation before you go to bed,
Imagining the day ahead of you.
I want to invite you back to this meditation for as many days as it serves you.
For those that are joining live at the artist morning,
I'm going to put 20 minutes on the clock and allow us to do some private personal journaling.
And of course,
If you're catching us on a replay,
Perhaps on insight timer,
You can easily do the same by putting some time on your own clock and perhaps continuing to build this belief in yourself,
This confidence,
This momentum,
Remembering that it's not about perfection if resistance and fear pops in,
That's completely normal.
We welcome resistance,
We welcome fear,
Progress over perfection.
Every day we are getting a little bit stronger,
Believing in ourselves just a little bit more.
Thank you for meditating with me.
My name is Darius and I will see you next time.
