Speaker 1: People come to me and say, I am so tired
Speaker 1: of trying to fix myself. I wake up with the
Speaker 1: same worry. I go to sleep with the same doubt,
Speaker 1: and somewhere in the middle of the day, I hear
Speaker 1: that little voice telling me I am not enough. And
Speaker 1: I want to say to you, my dear, you do
Speaker 1: not have to fix yourself before you are worthy of peace.
Speaker 1: You are not a broken chair in the corner of
Speaker 1: the room waiting for someone to repair you. You are
Speaker 1: a living, breathing, beautiful being who has learned to speak
Speaker 1: to herself in ways that hurt. That is all. And
Speaker 1: what is learned can be unlearned. What is repeated can
Speaker 1: be changed. What is practiced in fear can begin to
Speaker 1: be practiced in love. So let this be a gentle
Speaker 1: place to begin again, not because you have failed, but
Speaker 1: because life is always opening another little door. You may
Speaker 1: be tired to day, you may be unsure to day.
Speaker 1: You may not believe every good word. Yet that is
Speaker 1: all right. We do not need perfection to begin. We
Speaker 1: only need a little willingness, the tiniest opening in the heart.
Speaker 1: All is well, I am safe. I can begin again.
Speaker 1: You see the things you repeat every day do not
Speaker 1: simply float away. They settle into you. They become familiar
Speaker 1: paths in the mind, like little roads you walk without thinking.
Speaker 1: I can't do this. I always make mistakes. It is
Speaker 1: too late for me. Other people receive good but not me. Oh, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: how many times have you said these things and then
Speaker 1: wondered why your body feels heavy? The mind listens, the
Speaker 1: heart listens, the cells listen. Your life is always listening
Speaker 1: to the conversation you are having with yourself. And this
Speaker 1: is not to frighten you. No, no, this is to
Speaker 1: give you back your power, because if an old sentence
Speaker 1: can make you small, then a new, loving sentence can
Speaker 1: help you stand tall again. Your mind is not the enemy.
Speaker 1: It is more like a garden that has been growing
Speaker 1: whatever seeds were dropped there long ago. Some were planted
Speaker 1: by parents, some by teachers, some by a marriage, a disappointment,
Speaker 1: a doctor, a mirror, a bank account, a lonely night.
Speaker 1: But now you are the gardener. The mind is a habit,
Speaker 1: not the truth, and habits can be changed with patience, kindness,
Speaker 1: and repetition. Now Here is something very simple and very powerful.
Speaker 1: Words are not just words. They are little instructions. They
Speaker 1: tell the deeper mind what to look for, what to expect,
Speaker 1: what to prepare for, and what to believe is possible.
Speaker 1: If you say all day, I don't want to be sick,
Speaker 1: the mind still sees sickness. If you say I don't
Speaker 1: want to be poor, the mind still sees lack. If
Speaker 1: you say I don't want to be alone, the mind
Speaker 1: still sees loneliness standing in the doorway. The subconscious mind
Speaker 1: is very innocent in that way. It responds to pictures, feelings, repetition,
Speaker 1: and tone. So let us give it a picture that
Speaker 1: supports us. Instead of I don't want to be sick,
Speaker 1: try I am learning to enjoy good health more and
Speaker 1: more each day. Instead of I don't want to be poor,
Speaker 1: Try I am willing to receive abundance, support, and safety.
Speaker 1: Do you feel the difference. One sentence points toward fear,
Speaker 1: the other opens a window. One sentence keeps the old
Speaker 1: image alive. The other gives life something new to work with.
Speaker 1: Give your mind a picture of the life you are
Speaker 1: willing to live, and please do not use this as
Speaker 1: another reason to criticize yourself. I can hear some of
Speaker 1: you saying, oh, dear, now I have been saying everything wrong. No,
Speaker 1: my love, that is not the point. We are not
Speaker 1: here to make you wrong. We are here to make
Speaker 1: you aware. Awareness is a light, not a whip. When
Speaker 1: you notice an old sentence coming out of your mouth,
Speaker 1: you can simply smile a little and say, oh, that
Speaker 1: is the old way, then choose again. That is all.
Speaker 1: You do not have to fight the thought. You do
Speaker 1: not have to wrestle it to the floor. You do
Speaker 1: not have to spend the afternoon proving it wrong. Just
Speaker 1: notice it, bless it, and turn your face towards something kinder.
Speaker 1: If you have spent many years repeating fear, then, of
Speaker 1: course love may feel strange at first. New shoes feel strange,
Speaker 1: a new house feels strange. Even a new hair cut
Speaker 1: can make us look twice in the mirror. So when
Speaker 1: a new belief feels unfamiliar, do not call it false,
Speaker 1: Call it new. A new thought may feel strange simply
Speaker 1: because it is new. And yes, when you begin changing
Speaker 1: your self belief, you may wobble. One morning, you may
Speaker 1: feel clear and hopeful, and by evening the old fear
Speaker 1: is sitting beside you at the kitchen table again, acting
Speaker 1: as though it owns the place. This is normal, it
Speaker 1: really is. The old mind loves the old road because
Speaker 1: it has traveled there so many times. It thinks familiar
Speaker 1: means safe, even when the familiar has been painful. So
Speaker 1: when you choose a new belief, the old pattern may
Speaker 1: pull at your sleeve and say, come back, we know
Speaker 1: how to suffer here. Isn't that interesting? Not good, not bad,
Speaker 1: just interesting, not failing. When this happens, you are in transition.
Speaker 1: You are updating the inner system, and sometimes the lights
Speaker 1: flicker while the new wiring is being placed. So be
Speaker 1: very gentle with yourself when you wobble. Do not add
Speaker 1: shame to the wobble. Do not say I should be
Speaker 1: better by now. Say I am learning and I am
Speaker 1: willing to continue. The wobble is not failure. The wobble
Speaker 1: is change in motion. Let us take ten seconds now,
Speaker 1: because healing does not always need to be dramatic. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it is very quiet. Let your breath go out slowly,
Speaker 1: as though you are emptying an old drawer. Place one
Speaker 1: hand on your chest, right over the heart, and feel
Speaker 1: the warmth of your own hand. This body has carried
Speaker 1: you through so much. It has carried you through childhood,
Speaker 1: through endings, through bills, through kitchens through tears. You did
Speaker 1: not show anyone through mornings when you had to get up,
Speaker 1: even though your spirit was tired. So give it a
Speaker 1: little kindness. Now, Let the shoulders drop, let the belly soften,
Speaker 1: let the face rest, and say, all is well, I'm learning.
Speaker 1: Say it as if you are not trying to convince anyone,
Speaker 1: Say it as if you are telling the truth to
Speaker 1: a frightened part of yourself. All is well, I'm learning. There,
Speaker 1: that is enough for this moment. You can do this
Speaker 1: in the car, in the bathroom, before a phone call,
Speaker 1: after a difficult conversation, or while standing in front of
Speaker 1: the mirror wondering how to love the woman looking back
Speaker 1: at you. Now we come to the great turning point,
Speaker 1: and it is always this fear or love. Almost every
Speaker 1: thought grows from one root or the other. Fear says,
Speaker 1: close down, protect yourself, do not try, do not trust,
Speaker 1: stay small, it is safer there. Love says, open a
Speaker 1: little breathe, ask for help, tell the truth. Take the
Speaker 1: next step. You are guided. We do not hate fear.
Speaker 1: Fear is often just a frightened little child inside us,
Speaker 1: trying to keep us from being hurt again. But we
Speaker 1: do not have to let the frightened child drive the car.
Speaker 1: We can put her in the back seat with a
Speaker 1: blanket and say I hear you, darling. But love is
Speaker 1: dr That is how change begins, not by pretending fear
Speaker 1: is gone, but by choosing not to obey it every
Speaker 1: time it speaks. So ask yourself gently, if I chose
Speaker 1: love instead of fear today, what would I do differently
Speaker 1: in the next twenty four hours? Would you rest without guilt?
Speaker 1: Would you speak to yourself more kindly? Would you say
Speaker 1: no where you usually betray yourself? Would you allow a
Speaker 1: compliment to land? Love is not weakness. Love is the
Speaker 1: power that lets you begin again. And perhaps the deeper
Speaker 1: question is this what am I most afraid of right now?
Speaker 1: And can I hold that fear with love? Not push
Speaker 1: it away, not shame it, not dress it up in
Speaker 1: pretty words, just hold it. Imagine the fear as a
Speaker 1: small child standing at your door in the rain. You
Speaker 1: would not slam the door and say go away, you
Speaker 1: are inconvenient. You would open the door. You would bring
Speaker 1: her in. You would wrap her in something warm and
Speaker 1: say I see you. You are safe now. This is
Speaker 1: how we change self belief. We stop abandoning ourselves in
Speaker 1: the very places where we most need tenderness. We stop
Speaker 1: using criticism as motivation, We stop frightening ourselves and calling
Speaker 1: it discipline, and little by little, a new voice is
Speaker 1: born inside us, a voice that says, I am willing
Speaker 1: to love myself through this. That voice may be soft
Speaker 1: at first, but keep listening. It will grow stronger. It
Speaker 1: will become the new familiar. All is well, I am safe,
Speaker 1: I can begin again. And once you begin to choose
Speaker 1: love instead of fear, my dear, you may discover something
Speaker 1: very tender underneath all the habits you have been trying
Speaker 1: so hard to change. You may find that what you
Speaker 1: called laziness was not laziness at all. What you called
Speaker 1: lack of discipline was not really lack of discipline. What
Speaker 1: you called weakness was often a nervous system that did
Speaker 1: not yet feel safe enough to move forward. Isn't that interesting?
Speaker 1: We are so quick to scold ourselves, aren't we? We say,
Speaker 1: why can't I just do it? Why do I keep
Speaker 1: putting it off? Why do I think and think and
Speaker 1: think and never begin? And yet if we listened more lovingly,
Speaker 1: we might hear the body saying, I am frightened. I
Speaker 1: am overwhelmed. I am not sure this is safe. So
Speaker 1: let us stop yelling at the frightened parts of ourselves.
Speaker 1: Let us stop dragging ourselves through life as though we
Speaker 1: are stubborn little donkeys that must be pushed and pulled
Speaker 1: and criticized into motion. The heart opens when it feels safe.
Speaker 1: The mind learns when it feels safe. The body relaxes
Speaker 1: when it feels safe. It is safe for me to change.
Speaker 1: You see, change is not only an idea in the mind.
Speaker 1: It is also a message to the body when you
Speaker 1: decide to become a new version of yourself. The old
Speaker 1: patterns may think they are being asked to disc appear,
Speaker 1: and of course they become nervous. They have been running
Speaker 1: the house for many years. They know where everything is kept.
Speaker 1: They know the old complaints, the old excuses, the old fears,
Speaker 1: the old ways of protecting you. So when you come
Speaker 1: in with a new belief and say we are going
Speaker 1: to live differently now, those old patterns may look at
Speaker 1: you and say, are you sure? We have survived this
Speaker 1: way for a very long time. That is why we
Speaker 1: do not force change. We invite it. We make the
Speaker 1: body feel included, We loosen the jaw. We soften the shoulders,
Speaker 1: We let the belly breathe. We speak to ourselves in
Speaker 1: a voice that is soft but not helpless, gentle but
Speaker 1: not weak. We say, darling, we are not in danger.
Speaker 1: We are learning a new away. It is safe for
Speaker 1: me to change. It is safe for me to grow.
Speaker 1: It is safe for me to become more of who
Speaker 1: I really am. So many women have carried the whole
Speaker 1: world in their shoulders. They have carried children, marriages, aging, parents, bills, secrets, disappointments, jobs, kitchens, holidays,
Speaker 1: and all the invisible things no one thanks them for.
Speaker 1: And then they wonder why their bodies feel tight. My dear,
Speaker 1: your body has been listening to every unspoken sentence. It
Speaker 1: has heard every I have to It has heard every
Speaker 1: I can't rest yet, it has heard every I must
Speaker 1: hold it together. And because your body loves you, it
Speaker 1: tries to help you survive. Sometimes it holds tension because
Speaker 1: it thinks tension will keep you prepared. Sometimes it makes
Speaker 1: you tired because it knows you will not stop unless
Speaker 1: it makes you stop. Sometimes it gives you a flutter
Speaker 1: in the stomach, a tightness in the chest, a headache,
Speaker 1: a heavy feeling, and It is not punishing you, It
Speaker 1: is speaking. The body is not your enemy. The body
Speaker 1: is a faithful friend that has been trying to protect
Speaker 1: you with the tools it had. My body is my friend.
Speaker 1: My body responds to love. Now take a moment with me,
Speaker 1: just a simple moment, because the body loves simple kindness.
Speaker 1: Let your eyes soften, Let your tongue rest in your mouth.
Speaker 1: Let the shoulders fall away from the ears, as though
Speaker 1: you are putting down too heavy shopping you have carried
Speaker 1: for miles. Let the belly be loose, not because it
Speaker 1: looks a certain way, but because it deserves room to
Speaker 1: breathe and say quietly inside, thank you body for carrying me.
Speaker 1: You do not have to adore every inch of yourself
Speaker 1: all at once. That may be too big a step today,
Speaker 1: and that is all right. Begin with appreciation. Thank your
Speaker 1: eyes for reading, seeing faces, noticing light through the window.
Speaker 1: Thank your lungs for breathing even when you forgot to
Speaker 1: be grateful. Thank your heart for beating through every chapter
Speaker 1: of your life. Thank your stomach for trying to digest
Speaker 1: more than food, sometimes worries, sometimes grief, sometimes words you swallowed.
Speaker 1: Thank your legs for bringing you this far. I bless
Speaker 1: my body with love, and my body blesses me with life.
Speaker 1: And if as you do this a critical voice appears,
Speaker 1: just notice it. Perhaps it says, oh, I cannot thank
Speaker 1: this body, it has changed too much. Or I will
Speaker 1: love my body when it is thinner, stronger, younger, healthier, prettier. No, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: that is the old bargain, and it has never brought peace.
Speaker 1: We do not tell a plant I will water you
Speaker 1: after you bloom. We water it because we want to
Speaker 1: help it bloom. We do not tell a child I
Speaker 1: will love you after you stop crying. We love the
Speaker 1: child so the crying can soften. Your body does not
Speaker 1: need more rejection in order to heal. It needs partnership,
Speaker 1: It needs warmth. It needs you to come home. So
Speaker 1: when you look in the mirror, even if you cannot
Speaker 1: yet say I love everything I see, you can begin
Speaker 1: with I am willing to be kind to you today.
Speaker 1: That is enough. That is a beautiful beginning. I am
Speaker 1: willing to love and appreciate my body more each day.
Speaker 1: There is a very old lie many of us learned,
Speaker 1: and it says we must earn the right to be happy.
Speaker 1: We must earn rest, We must earn love. We must
Speaker 1: earn health, We must earn peace. We must become good enough,
Speaker 1: thin enough, successful enough, calm enough, spiritual enough, useful enough,
Speaker 1: and then perhaps life will open the door and let
Speaker 1: us have a little joy. Oh, my dear, what a
Speaker 1: time hiring belief? That is? It is like standing outside
Speaker 1: your own home in the rain, holding the key in
Speaker 1: your hand, waiting for someone else to give you permission
Speaker 1: to enter. You do not need permission to be good
Speaker 1: to yourself. You do not need permission to begin again.
Speaker 1: You do not need permission to receive the good that
Speaker 1: life has for you. Happiness, health, prosperity, harmony, love, peace
Speaker 1: of mind. These are not prizes for perfect people. They
Speaker 1: are part of your natural inheritance as a living being.
Speaker 1: I do not have to earn my right to be loved.
Speaker 1: I am lovable because I exist. Now, this may bring
Speaker 1: up resistance. I know. Some part of you may say,
Speaker 1: but I made mistakes. Of course you did. We all have.
Speaker 1: Mistakes are part of the class room of life. They
Speaker 1: are not proof that you should be locked out of goodness.
Speaker 1: Another part may say, but I wasted years. No, darling,
Speaker 1: you lived years, You learned, you survived, you gathered wisdom
Speaker 1: in ways you may not even understand. Yet another part
Speaker 1: may say, but other people deserve more than I do.
Speaker 1: That is comparison talking, and comparison is a very poor
Speaker 1: use of imagination. There is enough air for everyone to breathe.
Speaker 1: There is enough sunlight to touch every window. There is
Speaker 1: enough love in life to move through all of us
Speaker 1: in different and wonderful ways. Your good does not steal
Speaker 1: from any one else. When you allow yourself to receive,
Speaker 1: you become more peaceful, more generous, more alive. There is
Speaker 1: plenty of good for everyone, including me. The feeling of
Speaker 1: deserving is like a key. It opens the gate of receiving,
Speaker 1: and so many people stand at the gate and say,
Speaker 1: when I have everything together, then I will feel worthy.
Speaker 1: But it works the other way around. When you begin
Speaker 1: to treat yourself as worthy, you start making choices that
Speaker 1: support your life. You rest because you are worthy. Now
Speaker 1: you speak kindly because you are worthy. Now you ask
Speaker 1: for help because you are worthy. Now you care for
Speaker 1: your body because you are worthy. Now you open the
Speaker 1: bill and breathe because you are worthy. Now you walk
Speaker 1: away from what hurts because you are worthy. Now you
Speaker 1: do not wait until the garden is perfect before you
Speaker 1: remove one weed and plant one flower. You begin with
Speaker 1: the little patch of earth in front of you. Because
Speaker 1: I am worthy, I begin to care for myself now.
Speaker 1: And this is where changing a belief must become very
Speaker 1: tender and very practical. We do not leap from I
Speaker 1: hate myself to I am the most radiant, perfect being
Speaker 1: in the universe. If the body cannot take that in,
Speaker 1: sometimes that is too far, and the old mind simply
Speaker 1: spits it out. Then people say affirmations do not work,
Speaker 1: but often they were trying to swallow a whole loaf
Speaker 1: of bread in one bite. Begin with something the heart
Speaker 1: can digest. Begin with I am willing. That is a
Speaker 1: magnificent phrase. It opens the door without forcing you through it.
Speaker 1: I am willing to see myself differently. I am willing
Speaker 1: to be kinder to myself. I am willing to believe
Speaker 1: that change is possible. Isn't that softer? The body does
Speaker 1: not panic as much when we say I am willing.
Speaker 1: It can breathe around those words, I am willing to change,
Speaker 1: I am willing to learn. I am willing to receive good.
Speaker 1: Another beautiful bridge is I am learning. This phrase gives
Speaker 1: you room to be human. It does not demand that
Speaker 1: you master everything by Tuesday afternoon, which is quite a relief,
Speaker 1: isn't it. I am learning to trust myself. I am
Speaker 1: learning to speak to my body with love. I am
Speaker 1: learning to receive support. I am learning to let life
Speaker 1: be easier. There is kindness in that, There is movement
Speaker 1: in that. There is no shame in being a learner.
Speaker 1: In fact, all of life is learning. The trees are
Speaker 1: learning how to grow toward the light. The seasons are
Speaker 1: learning how to change without apology. The river is learning
Speaker 1: its way around the stones. Why should you be the
Speaker 1: only one who must arrive fully finished. Let yourself be
Speaker 1: in process. Let yourself be a beginner. I am learning,
Speaker 1: and it is safe for me to learn. And then
Speaker 1: there is another gentle doorway. It is possible, Oh, I
Speaker 1: love that one. When the mind cannot yet say I
Speaker 1: am prosperous, it may be able to say it is
Speaker 1: possible for me to become more open to prosperity. When
Speaker 1: the heart cannot yet say I love myself completely, it
Speaker 1: may be able to say it is possible for me
Speaker 1: to treat myself with more love. Today. When the body
Speaker 1: cannot yet say I am perfectly healthy, it may be
Speaker 1: able to say it is possible for me to support
Speaker 1: my healing in kind and steady ways. Possibility is like
Speaker 1: the first thin line of light under a closed door.
Speaker 1: You do not have to fling the door wide open
Speaker 1: all at once. You can sit near it. You can
Speaker 1: notice the light, You can let the warmth touch your feet,
Speaker 1: and one day, without so much drama, you may find
Speaker 1: yourself opening it. It is possible for my life to
Speaker 1: become more loving, more peaceful, and more free. So when
Speaker 1: you choose a new belief, choose one close enough that
Speaker 1: your body does not feel attacked by it. If you
Speaker 1: are exhausted, do not force yourself to say I am
Speaker 1: bursting with endless energy. If every cell in you says no,
Speaker 1: we are not, say I am learning to listen to
Speaker 1: my body and restore my energy with love. If you
Speaker 1: are frightened about money, do not force yourself to say
Speaker 1: I am a millionaire to day If it makes you
Speaker 1: feel foolish or unsafe, Say I am willing to create
Speaker 1: a healthier relationship with money. If you have been criticizing
Speaker 1: yourself for years, do not demand instant adoration. Say I
Speaker 1: am willing to stop being cruel to myself. These smaller
Speaker 1: thoughts are not weak. They are believable steps. A staircase
Speaker 1: is made of steps, not clouds. A believable thought, repeated
Speaker 1: with love becomes a new inner pathway, and repetition, my dear,
Speaker 1: is not punishment. It is how the mind learns. You
Speaker 1: have repeated old fear for years, perhaps without even realizing it.
Speaker 1: You repeated it while brushing your teeth, while driving, while
Speaker 1: folding laundry, while looking at photographs, while waiting for someone
Speaker 1: to call, while trying to sleep. So now we use
Speaker 1: repetition consciously, lovingly, wisely, not as a mechanical chant, but
Speaker 1: as a new atmosphere. When the old voice says you
Speaker 1: cannot change, you answer, I am willing to change. When
Speaker 1: the old voice says it is too late, you answer,
Speaker 1: it is possible for good to come at any age.
Speaker 1: When the old voice says you are not enough, you answer,
Speaker 1: I am learning to approve of myself. You are not fighting.
Speaker 1: You are redirecting, like a shepherd bringing one little sheep
Speaker 1: back to the flock. You gently bring the mind back
Speaker 1: to love. I choose thoughts that support the life I
Speaker 1: want to live. Now, let us bring all of this
Speaker 1: into this moment, because this moment is where your power
Speaker 1: lives not yesterday, not ten years ago, not the conversation
Speaker 1: you wish had gone differently, not the future you are
Speaker 1: trying to control with worry. Here this breath, this body,
Speaker 1: this little turning of the mind. Let the jaw soften again,
Speaker 1: Let the shoulders release, Let the belly have permission to
Speaker 1: be human and say, within yourself, it is safe for
Speaker 1: me to change. Let the words be quiet, let them
Speaker 1: be simple, Let them enter like warm tea on a
Speaker 1: cold morning. My body is my friend. I am willing
Speaker 1: to receive good. I am learning to believe in myself.
Speaker 1: You do not need to feel a thunderbolt. A small
Speaker 1: yes is enough. The point of power is always in
Speaker 1: the present moment, And as you move through today, notice
Speaker 1: the places where you usually abandon yourself. Notice the moment
Speaker 1: before you say yes when your body means no. Notice
Speaker 1: the sentence you use when you make a mistake. Notice
Speaker 1: how you speak to the mirror. Notice how you hold
Speaker 1: your breath when you check your messages, your calendar, your account,
Speaker 1: your reflection. Do not notice these things to shame yourself.
Speaker 1: Notice them because you are coming awake. A woman who
Speaker 1: is coming awake is a beautiful thing to see. She
Speaker 1: may still be afraid, but she is no longer asleep
Speaker 1: inside the old belief. She is beginning to choose. She
Speaker 1: is beginning to listen. She is beginning to treat her
Speaker 1: own heart as something sacred. And that changes everything. Quietly
Speaker 1: at first, then deeply. I am safe, I am worthy,
Speaker 1: I am willing to begin again. I'm not a healer,
Speaker 1: but I have seen again and again that when a
Speaker 1: person begins to speak to herself with love, something inside
Speaker 1: her starts to relax, not all at once, perhaps not
Speaker 1: with fireworks, but quietly, like a tight hand beginning to open.
Speaker 1: And this week, my dear, you can begin in a
Speaker 1: very simple way. On the first day, write down the
Speaker 1: sentence you use most often to hurt yourself. Do not
Speaker 1: be afraid of seeing it on the page. You cannot
Speaker 1: clean a room you refuse to look at. On the
Speaker 1: second day, write that sentence again in a kinder way,
Speaker 1: using words your heart can believe, such as I am willing,
Speaker 1: I am learning, or it is possible. On the third day,
Speaker 1: look into your own eyes in the mirror for two
Speaker 1: minutes and say the new sentence gently. You may feel silly,
Speaker 1: you may feel emotional, That is all right. The little
Speaker 1: child inside you has been waiting a long time to
Speaker 1: hear your love. I love and approve of myself. On
Speaker 1: the fourth day, let the breath carry the new belief
Speaker 1: into the body. Breathe in and say all is well.
Speaker 1: Breathe out and say I am safe. Do it while
Speaker 1: sitting on the edge of the bed, while standing in
Speaker 1: the kitchen, or before you open your messages in the morning.
Speaker 1: On the fifth day, take one small action that agrees
Speaker 1: with the new belief. If you are learning that you
Speaker 1: are worthy of care, drink water, take a walk, make
Speaker 1: the appointment, open the bill, rest without apologizing. On the
Speaker 1: sixth day, forgive yourself if you went backward. There will
Speaker 1: be days when the old voice comes back and speaks loudly.
Speaker 1: Do not punish yourself for being human. Just say, oh,
Speaker 1: there is the old road again, and lovingly turn toward
Speaker 1: the new one. On the seventh day, look for three
Speaker 1: small pieces of evidence that something has shifted. Maybe you
Speaker 1: caught yourself sooner, Maybe you spoke more softly. Maybe you
Speaker 1: chose peace one minute faster than before. A small change,
Speaker 1: repeated with love becomes a new life. Now close your
Speaker 1: eyes for a moment if it is safe to do so,
Speaker 1: and Imagine you are standing in an old room. This
Speaker 1: room holds the beliefs you have outgrown. The old criticism
Speaker 1: is there, The old fear is there, The old feeling
Speaker 1: of not being enough is there. Thank the room for
Speaker 1: what it tried to teach you, and then gently close
Speaker 1: the door. Do not slam it, just close it with love.
Speaker 1: Now see another door opening before you. This new room
Speaker 1: is filled with light, calm, space, and fresh air. Step inside.
Speaker 1: Feel the floor beneath your feet. This is the place
Speaker 1: where you speak kindly to yourself. This is the place
Speaker 1: where you allow good to come. This is my new
Speaker 1: home inside. You do not have to change your whole
Speaker 1: life in one day. You only need to change one
Speaker 1: sentence and repeat it with love. All is well. I
Speaker 1: am safe. It is safe for me to change. I
Speaker 1: deserve the best and I accept it. Now. If you
Speaker 1: have listened this far, write the sentence you are choosing today.
Speaker 1: All is well, I am safe now, or I am
Speaker 1: willing to change, And so it is
