Good morning, beautiful. I'm so grateful that you're here with me this morning. Close your eyes and come into yourself. Away from the world outside. Away from all the tasks, all the anxieties. Away from all the expectations. Away from the schedule. Let all those things float away in the breeze as you come right here.
See if you can picture yourself standing at the beginning of a path. It winds ahead of you, twisting and turning, with shadows of uncertainty and doubt lingering in some of the corners. You don't know what lies ahead, but you know you have to walk forward. As you begin your journey, you notice some bumps, some obstacles, some unknowns. It's easy to feel lost here.
Easy to doubt yourself. But as you take a deep breath, you feel something inside shift. Something soft, something steady. This is your self-love. A quiet guide that lives within you. It's always here, just waiting for you to notice. Waiting for you to remember. As you take your next step, feel this self-love rise and expand.
A steady light within your heart showing you the way one step at a time. You may not see the end of the path. You may not have all the answers. But with each step you take, self-love leads you. It whispers to you, "You are enough." Exactly as you are. With each breath, with each step, you trust yourself more. You trust the love within you to guide you forward.
Now imagine yourself coming to a steep climb. It feels impossible, difficult, challenging. But as you pause, you feel your self-love fill you. It lifts you, encourages you to keep moving and to trust your inner strength. This love inside of you, it's your compass, your guide. Let it lead the way.
Instead of your fears or your doubts, let your love for yourself guide you. Namaste. Beautiful.
