The Abundant Soul–Affirmations–Meeting Disappointment Gently

Hi,

This is Stephania.

Welcome to this tiny moment in your day to reflect,

To rejuvenate,

To just be,

To find the space to begin to heal from disappointment.

This is a gentle reflection for anyone who wants to connect with their inner wisdom.

There's no need to have answers right now.

Just allow yourself to pause,

Breathe,

And notice what arises.

Let your body settle.

Your mind can soften.

Take a slow breath in and release it without effort.

If disappointment is here right now,

You don't need to push it away.

You don't need to make sense of it.

Let your body be supported by the floor,

By the chair,

By this moment.

Disappointment often comes from caring deeply.

It means something mattered.

Place a gentle hand on your heart or simply bring kind attention there.

Now gently say to yourself,

It's okay to feel down.

It's okay to feel let down.

Notice where the disappointment sits in you.

There's no need to judge it.

Just allow it space to soften.

You can keep your hand on your heart or you can place your hands in your lap,

Whatever feels right.

You don't have to fix everything right now.

You don't even have to reframe the story.

Sometimes the most healing choice is to let the feeling move at his own pace.

Repeat softly,

Please.

I can hold this feeling with kindness.

I can hold this feeling with kindness.

I can hold this feeling with kindness.

Let your breath carry compassion in and tension out.

Even in disappointment,

You are still whole,

Still worthy,

Still steady beneath the waves.

Take one last gentle breath in and out and allow yourself to continue with a little more tenderness.

And now to seal in that goodness,

Let's have a few affirmations.

I'll say it first,

You can repeat or just listen.

I allow my feelings to be here without judgment.

I can meet disappointment with kindness and care.

My worth does not change when things don't go as hoped.

Let's try that again.

My worth does not change when things don't go as hoped.

I trust my feelings to move and soften in their own time.

I trust my feelings to move and soften in their own time.

Even now,

I am supported,

Steady and enough.

Let's do that one again as well.

Even now,

I am supported,

Steady and enough.

This reflection is part of the ongoing abundant soul series.

Gentle moments you can return to whenever you need.

With new moments appearing quite regularly.

Until next time,

Be well,

Mind,

Body and spirit.
