Battling self-doubt and the feeling of not belonging.

Breathe deeply into your navel point as you listen to my words.

I am capable of anything I want.

I already belong.

I am not behind.

I am arriving.

I am not less.

I am evolving into the shadows.

The doubt that visits me is not my truth.

It is only passing.

I release the need to prove.

I release the urge to compare.

I stand in the quiet power of being me.

Every breath anchors my worth.

Every heartbeat reminds me I belong here.

My path is not a mistake.

It is a masterpiece in motion.

I trust the timing of my unfolding.

I trust the spaces I've been called to fill.

I no longer ask for permission to exit.

I simply breathe,

And that is enough.

Take a deep breath in,

And let it fall softly out.

Again,

Breathe in through the nose,

Filling your chest,

Your belly,

And exhale through the mouth,

Releasing everything you've been holding.

Let the body settle,

Let the mind slow,

Let yourself arrive here.

There are moments when doubt sneaks in,

Whispering that you're not enough,

That you don't belong.

But right now,

In this quiet space,

Remember,

Belonging begins within.

Belonging begins within.

Place your hand over your heart.

Feel its rhythm.

It beats without your asking.

Proof that life itself believes in you.

Imagine a soft light glowing beneath your palm.

A golden warmth that expands with every breath.

Let it spread through your chest,

Your shoulders,

Your spine.

This is your inner home.

The place no one can take from you.

When thoughts arise,

Like I'm not ready,

I don't fit,

I'm not worthy.

See them as clouds passing across your sky.

They are not the truth.

You are the sky,

Vast,

Steady,

Infinite.

Breathe into your strength now.

Feel the light grow brighter,

Reminding you,

You are meant to be here.

You are made to be here.

You bring something no one else can.

The world is more complete because you exist in it.

Take one last deep breath in,

Gathering courage,

Presence,

Self-trust,

And exhale any doubt that remains.

As you return to your day,

Remember,

You belong wherever you stand when you are true to yourself.

Wrap yourself in a warm blanket of love and protection.

No one can take this from you.

You are your own infinite being.

Go in peace,

My friends.
