Hello and thank you for being here.
Thank you too for showing up for yourself with love,
Time and presence.
It's okay to feel let down.
There's a reason you're feeling this way.
Let's start by focusing on your breath as it is right now.
Observe what your breath is currently like.
Is it slow or fast?
Is it short or long?
Is it soft or harsh or calm?
Describe your breath to yourself.
Now what do you feel in your body?
Is anywhere speaking louder than other parts?
Where is the feeling in your physical body and can you describe the physical feeling?
This could be a tingling or a pressure,
Tenseness or a lightness or however you want to describe it.
Now can you describe your emotions?
Use as many words as you like.
Describe your own emotions,
Only your own.
This is precious time with yourself to be with you and it's okay if you can't describe them.
Here are some examples of emotions that might help for you to choose from.
Let down,
Sad,
Miserable,
Hopeless,
Tired,
Hurt,
Exhausted,
Worried,
Torn,
Troubled or grief.
Use the next 30 seconds to describe to yourself what emotions you are feeling.
Now do you remember when you started to feel this way?
What happened?
Can you explain this?
This could have been an action,
A person,
A place or a thought.
The thought could have been kind or cruel,
Shaming or helpful,
Belittling or critical.
What brought this about?
Here's a timed one minute to express what happened.
Now if you like you can thank yourself for sharing this with you.
Now what do you need?
Can you think of one,
Two or three loving things that can help right now or throughout your day that you can do for yourself?
This could be placing your hand on your arm or belly or heart,
Giving yourself a hug,
Hugging a stuffed toy,
Resting,
Taking calm and loving breaths with yourself,
Journaling or something else.
What are some things you can do right now or throughout your day that are self-loving?
How do you feel now?
Observe your physical and emotional self as you do some of the things you've just figured out that you might need.
Thank you for being here today and spending time with yourself and honouring your feelings.
Offering ourselves presence and patience is a beautiful thing.
Wishing you the loveliest day on the rest of your journey.
