Take a big breath in through your nose.
And a complete exhale out your mouth.
Do that two more times and feel your inhale start to come into the region of your upper belly.
Place right below your rib cage,
Below the center of your chest.
Relax here as you exhale from this part of your body also.
And again,
Inhale right into your solar plexus.
Place about six inches above your navel and right below your sternum.
Breathe in more.
Exhale,
Relax more here.
Exhale completely.
And do that about five more times on your own.
Deep,
Steady breaths in.
Full and complete exhales out.
Right away,
Start to let this feel good,
This simple act of deep breathing.
As you continue to breathe,
You have the choice to either seal your lips and breathe in and out of your nose or continue to exhale out of your mouth.
In this meditation session,
We're going to use an affirmation to begin to create long-term relief from anxiety and to plant the seeds for more long-term feelings of calmness and confidence instead.
Continue to breathe and simply listen to my voice and all the words that I'm saying.
And so the opposite of anxiety is a state of calm.
And a calm person is a confident person.
A confident person is not anxious.
And so if you allow feelings of anxiety to persist or stories of yourself being an anxious person to persist,
You likely don't see yourself as either calm or confident.
Continue to breathe.
So through the use of a positive affirmation,
We start to feed an affirmative statement to your subconscious mind so that it will start to believe this new reality and you'll start to become this affirmation.
So repeat silently to yourself.
I am a calm and confident person.
I am a calm and confident person.
I am a calm and confident person.
Continue to breathe.
And continue to repeat this sentence silently to yourself for the next several minutes.
Nice and slow.
Without force,
Just feed these words with repetition into your mind,
Even if they don't feel true at this moment or there's resistance to them.
Persist with the affirmation.
I am a calm and confident person.
Let it radiate through your mind,
Through all the cells of your body.
Continue to breathe on your own for a few minutes,
Repeating this to yourself silently.
I am a calm and confident person.
You can slowly start to add feeling with your imagination what this might feel like.
Don't overthink it.
Repeat and enjoy on your own.
Continue to breathe slowly.
Continue to breathe slowly.
If your mind drifts or goes into any doubt or story,
Just choose to look away from that and come back to silently repeating this affirmation to your mind,
Starting to feel this as you repeat it,
Just with your imagination.
What do you feel like as a calm and confident person?
As you continue to repeat the affirmation,
I am a calm and confident person.
Each time you repeat this to yourself,
The more you imprint this new way of being into your mind.
And with patience and repetition,
It'll start to become true.
Feel that what you are doing right now is creating your future.
I am a calm and confident person.
A few more minutes,
Nice and calmly,
On your own.
Continue to breathe.
Continue to repeat the affirmation,
I am a calm and confident person.
And continue to breathe and relax.
Three more deep breaths,
See if you can relax and let go more fully.
Notice if you feel guarded or tense anywhere.
Perhaps take some open mouth sighs or exhales to soften.
And then,
As you breathe,
Just let go more fully.
Take a deep breath in and out,
Keep your hands to the space in front of your chest.
Take your palms to touch,
Repeat this to yourself one more time.
And honor yourself where you're at right now.
Give yourself a bow.
With patience over time,
You will start to become this.
Thanks for meditating with me,
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you.
