If you stop and think about it for a minute,
There are over 8 billion people on the planet.
And not one of us is the same.
Why?
I believe that it's because we were born to be unique.
In this short practice,
We're going to step into what it means to be unapologetically ourselves.
I'm inviting you to embrace your you-ness so you can show up more and more authentically as the incredible you that you are.
So let's begin.
Start by relaxing your shoulders and take a deep breath in.
Inhale.
And exhale.
I'm going to walk you through a few ideas,
And as I talk,
I invite you to tap into the most authentic version of you,
Whatever that looks like for you.
So allow these words to find that part of you that is ready to step into the next level version of you right now.
Because you as you is what you're here for.
What if you're supposed to be you,
Not someone else you may have looked up to when you were younger?
Not someone else you might have compared yourself to recently.
What if your purpose is to be the most you you can be?
And what if you can't get it wrong?
What if your one job,
The thing that you're here for,
You're already doing?
What if you are already the person you're trying to become?
What if it's not about striving or trying so hard or hustling or working so hard?
What if the work is to just let go?
And to let the higher you emerge.
What if the person you've been striving to become,
You already are?
What if you're the one you've been looking for all along?
What if the life you're looking for isn't up ahead?
What if it's right here?
What if everything you could want or need,
You find not by racing to catch up,
But by being exactly where you are as you are right now.
You're not late.
You're not doing it wrong.
You can't get it wrong.
There's no judgment or competition in individuality.
You are the best you there ever was and ever will be.
And no one's ever going to do it better.
Your ideas are important.
You matter.
You as you have purpose.
I think that your purpose,
My purpose,
Our purpose is to become so undeniably ourselves that we have nothing left to prove.
So what if today you could remember all through the day to be a little more you?
Sometimes we spend so much time trying to do what's expected of us,
Or be there for other people,
Show up for everyone else but ourselves.
But today,
Can you choose to be a little more you by making little micro decisions for you?
What do you want to wear?
What would you like to eat?
Who will you spend time with?
What will you say or not say?
What can you do to show up a little more for you as you?
And if you're not used to asking yourself what you want or what you want to do,
Start with baby steps.
The more you check in with yourself,
The more you ask yourself what you like,
How you feel,
Or where you want to spend your time,
What you want to focus on,
The easier it will be.
And the more you will feel like you.
And as you go through the rest of your day,
I invite you to carry these feelings of you-ness with you wherever you go.
Thank you so much for taking the time to be here with me today.
I am Ilya Grace,
And until next time,
Trust in your practice and in your own inner guidance,
And allow the universe to work its magic.
