and a slow releasing breath out.

And as you settle in to the natural rhythm of the breath, bring your awareness to the body. You might notice where you’re making contact with the ground invite in a feeling of groundedness of stability.

not staying long at all. Those labels are not you. They simply come up when your inner critic. Is speaking,

you have all the skill to be here. You belong here in this moment exactly as you are.

Breathe in deeply again, and as you do imagine that you’re gathering all your experiences, your small wins, your larger ones, all the times where you practiced your quiet resilience.

And with each breath you are anchoring into this truth. You belong here, you are worthy because of exactly. Who you are
