Boosting Our Self-Confidence

Breathe slowly,

Breathe deeply.

Breathe slowly,

Breathe deeply.

Good.

Good.

Now is a time for relaxation.

Now is a time to be present,

To quiet the mind and be still.

As we enter this quietness,

Let's breathe slowly and breathe deeply.

Breathe slowly and breathe deeply,

Feeling our body relax,

Become still and very,

Very quiet.

Good.

Good.

In this state of peace,

In this state of quietude,

I want for us to start only letting people in our lives who are loving and kind because we are loving and kind towards them.

We are attracted towards,

We surround ourselves with loving kindness towards others and those who share loving kindness towards us.

It's almost as if a magnet is being created inside of us that says,

I'm only going to be with people who treat me kindly,

Lovingly,

And I'm only going to treat others the same way with loving kindness.

As we listen to this guided meditation,

Our brains,

Our hearts,

Even our souls are being reconditioned so that they only want to be around those who are kind and loving.

And when people act in our lives that aren't kind and loving,

We gently talk to them about it.

And if their behavior doesn't change,

Then we gravitate towards those people who are loving and kind and gently move away from those who aren't.

That magnet inside of us says,

I can only be around those people who are loving and kind towards me and I will reciprocate and attract them because I am loving and kind towards them.

It's a beautiful relationship that we have with those in our lives,

Loving them and having them love us.

Loving them and having them love us.

This is what we're attracted towards.

This is what our heart desires.

This is the type of relationship we find ourselves in.

Kind ones,

Loving ones.

Good,

Good.

Just feel that loving kindness coming towards you from the people in your life and you giving back loving kindness towards them.

It's a beautiful life that's being created each and every day because of the loving kindness that you receive from others and the loving kindness you give to those in your life.

Good,

Good.

Equally as important is becoming aware of our own internal thoughts.

And because we are aware,

Because we pay attention to what our thoughts are telling us,

We allow them to only be loving kind thoughts.

Ones that build us up,

Care for us and if they're critical we just change them,

Replace them with loving kind thoughts.

This is our life.

We desire to only have loving kindness to be spoken to us by ourselves.

It truly matters what we think about ourselves.

So what we develop are loving kind thoughts towards our self.

And awareness is the key.

Unless we're aware of what thoughts are going in our head,

We can't change them.

But once we're aware,

Once we know what these thoughts are,

We saturate our thoughts with loving kindness towards our self.

Focusing in on that which we love about ourselves,

That which is beautiful,

That which is kind and building up who we are by focusing on,

By reinforcing our own loving kindness towards ourselves and towards those in our lives.

We have that magnet that not only attracts loving kindness,

Compassion,

Gentleness from others,

But also attracts loving kindness,

Gentleness towards ourselves.

Throughout the day we are gently,

Kindly loving ourselves,

Treating ourselves with dignity and respect and only allowing thoughts which are beautiful,

Which are kind,

Which are gentle towards ourselves.

This is what and who we are being attracted towards loving kindness.

And finally,

We also work towards just being,

Quieting our mind,

Letting our mind be still and enjoy the present moment as is without commentary towards others,

Without commentary towards ourselves.

This is our ultimate goal that we work towards each and every day,

Teaching our minds to be still so that we can be present.

Because in the present moment,

All is well.

All is well when we are present.

And the way we do that is we practice meditation,

We develop our quieting of the mind and we learn to be present throughout the day,

Having a meditative life so that we can have a still,

Quiet heart.

And in that stillness and in that quietness,

All is well.

When our minds are still,

When our hearts are quiet,

There are rises within us,

A peace,

A peace that passes all understanding.

All we need to do is to be still,

Be present and that peace is always there.

So let us continue to practice breathing slowly,

Quieting our mind and being still.

And in that stillness,

In that quietude,

The only thing we truly can experience is a peace that passes all understanding so that our self-confidence soars.

We do so well because all is well.

All is well.

Good.

Good.
