Breathe in.
I will set the boundaries that are aligned with my needs,
Values,
And empowerment.
Breathe out.
I am not responsible for the reactions of people who are invested in my lack of boundaries.
Breathe in.
I will honor my need for rest.
Breathe out.
I do not have to push myself in the name of productivity or narratives that devalue the care of my mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Breathe in.
I will honor my pace in all that I approach.
Breathe out.
I can release ideas that communicate that my timing on my healing,
Responses,
And feelings are either too slow or too fast.
Breathe in.
I will honor the survival skills that have helped me arrive to this day and reflect on what continues to serve me and what does not.
Breathe out.
I no longer have to carry shame or guilt.
Breathe in.
I will hold space for the expression of all of my feelings,
For they are the valid responses to my experiences.
Breathe out.
I will not devalue or tell myself that my feelings are stupid,
Unworthy,
Or not relevant.
Breathe in.
I will create space for joy and fun.
Breathe out.
My worth extends beyond my productivity or work.
Breathe in.
I will show myself kindness and empathy.
Breathe out.
I can release unkind,
Negative,
And mean thoughts aimed at myself.
Breathe in.
I will remind myself that I make sense.
Breathe out.
I no longer have to hold the shame associated with the emotions and behaviors that have emerged from my wounds.
Breathe in.
I can take up space and be seen in my totality.
Breathe out.
I release the fear that others will see me as too much.
Breathe in.
I can create space to shine brightly in all that I am.
Breathe out.
I release external forces that expect me to dim my light.
