Speaker 1: When you feel like you cannot get through this, then
Speaker 1: listen to these words, my dear one, because I want
Speaker 1: to remind you of something very simple, very tender, and
Speaker 1: very true. Even when life shakes, even when someone leaves,
Speaker 1: even when a plan collapses, even when your heart feels tired,
Speaker 1: you are still here. And that matters more than you know.
Speaker 1: Because everyone may not stay, circumstances may change, people may
Speaker 1: not always understand. But you can become the one presence
Speaker 1: in your life that does not walk away when everything shakes.
Speaker 1: I can become the one who stays with me. So
Speaker 1: take a long breath out, put your hand over your heart,
Speaker 1: let your shoulders soften just a little, and ask yourself
Speaker 1: this gently. If I stood on my own side today,
Speaker 1: what would begin to feel lighter, My dear one. That
Speaker 1: is where healing begins, not when the whole world changes overnight,
Speaker 1: but when you stop abandoning yourself in the middle of it.
Speaker 1: I love and support myself. I am here for me.
Speaker 1: All is well. So many people are waiting for love
Speaker 1: to arrive from the outside before they allow themselves to soften,
Speaker 1: rest trust, or feel worthy. They are waiting for someone
Speaker 1: to choose them, reassure them stay with them, understand them,
Speaker 1: or save them. And of course love from others is beautiful.
Speaker 1: Support from others is beautiful. But the deepest turning point
Speaker 1: comes when you begin to offer some of that to yourself.
Speaker 1: Because once you begin loving and supporting yourself, your choices
Speaker 1: begin to change. Your energy begins to change, your standards,
Speaker 1: begin to change. The way you allow life to treat you,
Speaker 1: begins to change. The way I treat myself teaches life
Speaker 1: how to meet me. That is such an important truth
Speaker 1: because life often reflects the relationship you have with yourself.
Speaker 1: If you are harsh, neglectful, abandoning, dismissive, constantly critical, constantly doubting,
Speaker 1: constantly overriding your own needs, then that becomes the atmosphere
Speaker 1: you live in, and from that atmosphere you will often
Speaker 1: accept far less than you deserve. But when you begin
Speaker 1: to love yourself, you stop agreeing with so much pain,
Speaker 1: You stop making excuses for what depletes you, You stop
Speaker 1: calling neglect normal. I am the mirror. I love that line.
Speaker 1: I am the mirror. The world often reflects what you
Speaker 1: have practiced inside. That is why self love creates real change,
Speaker 1: not because it is merely a pleasant idea, but because
Speaker 1: it becomes a new foundation for your decisions. A person
Speaker 1: who loves and supports herself rests differently, speaks differently, chooses differently,
Speaker 1: leaves differently, begins again differently. She no longer begs where
Speaker 1: she used to beg She no longer stays where she
Speaker 1: used to stay too long. She no longer turns against
Speaker 1: herself the moment something hurts self. Love raises the standard
Speaker 1: of what I allow, And that, my dear one, changes
Speaker 1: a life from the inside out. So if you are
Speaker 1: going through something difficult, something disappointing, something lonely, something uncertain,
Speaker 1: do not underestimate the healing power of simply beginning to say,
Speaker 1: I am here for me. Those are not small words.
Speaker 1: Those are stabilizing words. Those are reprinting words. Those are
Speaker 1: words that tell the nervous system you are not alone
Speaker 1: inside this body anymore. And now I want to begin
Speaker 1: walking with you through some of the ways we become
Speaker 1: stronger in the middle of life's hard places. The first
Speaker 1: is acceptance. Ah, yes, my dear, this is such a
Speaker 1: loving strength, because suffering so often grows when we keep
Speaker 1: fighting what has already happened. We ask why me, why now?
Speaker 1: Why this this should not be here, This must not
Speaker 1: be true, and all of that resistance drains the very
Speaker 1: energy we need in order to take the next step now.
Speaker 1: Acceptance is not giving up. It is not saying you
Speaker 1: like what what happened. It is not saying the loss
Speaker 1: did not matter. It is not passive. Acceptance is not
Speaker 1: surrendering your power. Acceptance is conserving your power. It is
Speaker 1: the moment you stop arguing with reality long enough to
Speaker 1: meet it. It is the moment you say, this happened.
Speaker 1: I may not like it, I may not understand it,
Speaker 1: but I am willing to face it. That is strength,
Speaker 1: real strength, quiet strength, useful strength. So if you are
Speaker 1: in a difficult place, breathe and say softly, this happened.
Speaker 1: I can handle the next step. Not the next year,
Speaker 1: not the whole future, just the next step, my dear one.
Speaker 1: That is how strength often works, one truthful step at
Speaker 1: a time. You see, Denial may feel protective for a moment,
Speaker 1: but it keeps you frozen. Resistance may feel powerful for
Speaker 1: a moment, but it keeps you leaking life force. Acceptance
Speaker 1: brings you back into motion. It says I do not
Speaker 1: need to waste this moment fighting the fact that this
Speaker 1: is my life right now, and the moment you say that,
Speaker 1: even through tears, even through trembling, something steady, Because now
Speaker 1: your energy is no longer being spent on arguing with reality.
Speaker 1: It can be used for healing, for choosing, for breathing,
Speaker 1: for asking for help, for resting, for beginning again. I
Speaker 1: accept what is here, and I keep my strength for
Speaker 1: the path ahead, my dear. That is self support in action.
Speaker 1: And then there is mirror work, which I love so
Speaker 1: deeply because it is such a direct way of changing
Speaker 1: the relationship you have with yourself. Often when something goes wrong,
Speaker 1: when we feel rejected, abandoned, embarrassed, frightened, or we think
Speaker 1: we have failed, the first voice that rises inside is
Speaker 1: not kind. It is sharp, It is disappointed, It is impatient.
Speaker 1: It says, see, you should have known you are too much,
Speaker 1: not enough, foolish, weak, And that is the exact moment
Speaker 1: when you need yourself most. So I want you to
Speaker 1: imagine standing before the mirror, not to inspect yourself, not
Speaker 1: to judge yourself, not to criticize your face or your life,
Speaker 1: but to meet yourself, to look into your own eyes
Speaker 1: and speak like someone who intends to stay. My eyes
Speaker 1: can become a place of safety. That is such a
Speaker 1: beautiful possibility, because when your own eyes become kind, the
Speaker 1: whole inner world begins to change. So when you are triggered,
Speaker 1: when life feels heavy, when someone disappoints you, when you
Speaker 1: make a mistake, go to the mirror, if you can
Speaker 1: look into your own eyes, even if it feels awkward,
Speaker 1: even if you only manage it for a few seconds
Speaker 1: at first, and say, no matter what happened, I still
Speaker 1: love and support you. Pause, let those words land. Then
Speaker 1: say you are not alone because I am here, my
Speaker 1: dear one. Those are healing words. They are not empty,
Speaker 1: they are not childish, They are exactly what the frightened
Speaker 1: parts of you have longed to hear. When you say them, sincerely,
Speaker 1: something in the body begins to unclench, something in the
Speaker 1: heart begins to believe that, maybe, finally, there is someone
Speaker 1: here who will not run at the first sign of pain.
Speaker 1: I am here for me. That is not selfishness, That
Speaker 1: is emotional maturity. That is healing from within, And perhaps
Speaker 1: this is what changes everything. You stop asking every wound
Speaker 1: to prove that you are unlovable, and you begin using
Speaker 1: each hard moment as an opportunity to love yourself more consciously.
Speaker 1: You stop saying this pain means I am broken. You
Speaker 1: begin saying, this pain is where I need to stand
Speaker 1: closer to myself. You stop saying no one is here
Speaker 1: for me. You begin saying I can be here for
Speaker 1: me now, my dear one. I know that may sound simple,
Speaker 1: but it is profound because the moment you stop abandoning yourself,
Speaker 1: the whole healing process changes direction. I do not need
Speaker 1: to wait for rescue to begin caring for myself. You
Speaker 1: can begin now with one kind sentence, one hand on
Speaker 1: the heart, one breath, one look in the mirror. That
Speaker 1: does not punish one moment of choosing not to leave
Speaker 1: yourself just because life has become difficult. So if you
Speaker 1: are in the middle of something painful right now, let
Speaker 1: this be your beginning. Accept what is here without turning
Speaker 1: it into your identity. Say this happened, I can handle
Speaker 1: the next step. Then meet yourself in the mirror and say,
Speaker 1: no matter what happened, I still love and support you.
Speaker 1: You are not alone because I am here, my dear one.
Speaker 1: That is not weakness. That is the foundation of inner strength.
Speaker 1: And in the next part I want to keep walking
Speaker 1: with you through more of these beautiful ways of becoming
Speaker 1: stronger from within, Because once you begin staying with yourself
Speaker 1: like this, something deep starts healing, and life begins to
Speaker 1: feel less like something you must survive alone. My dear one,
Speaker 1: let us keep going together, because once you begin to
Speaker 1: love and support yourself, there are very real, very practical
Speaker 1: ways that love starts becoming visible in your daily life.
Speaker 1: Self love is not only a feeling. It is not
Speaker 1: only a beautiful sentence you say in the mirror. It
Speaker 1: becomes a way you think, a way you choose, a
Speaker 1: way you respond, a way you care for your body,
Speaker 1: a way you interpret the world, A way you hold
Speaker 1: yourself when life becomes difficult. And that is what I
Speaker 1: want for you, not a lovely idea that disappears the
Speaker 1: moment you are triggered, but a living practice that stays
Speaker 1: with you when you need it most. I love and
Speaker 1: support myself. I am here for me. All is well.
Speaker 1: One of the most healing things you can do is
Speaker 1: to begin cleaning your inner mirror. You see, the world
Speaker 1: often reflects back to us the beliefs we quietly carry inside.
Speaker 1: If somewhere within you there is an old thought that says,
Speaker 1: I am not enough. You will often notice life through
Speaker 1: that lens. You will interpret people through that lens. You
Speaker 1: will hear a delay as rejection. A criticism is proof.
Speaker 1: A silence is abandonment, not because life is trying to
Speaker 1: punish you, but because the mirror through which you are
Speaker 1: looking has been clouded by old beliefs. You do not
Speaker 1: need to fix the whole world first, You need to
Speaker 1: clean the mirror. That is such a loving place to begin,
Speaker 1: because when the mirror changes, what you see begins to
Speaker 1: change too. So I want you to sit down quietly
Speaker 1: sometime and write out one old thought that has been
Speaker 1: hurting you. Perhaps it is I'm not good enough, or
Speaker 1: nobody really stays, or I always have to struggle, or
Speaker 1: I must be perfect to be loved. Write it down,
Speaker 1: look at it, do not pretend it is not there.
Speaker 1: Then gently cross it out, not angrily, lovingly, and beneath
Speaker 1: it write a new truth. I am worthy of love
Speaker 1: and respect, starting with me, my dear one. That is
Speaker 1: how healing begins. One old sentence noticed, one old sentence released,
Speaker 1: one new sentence planted. Now, at first, the new sentence
Speaker 1: may not feel fully true. That is all right. You
Speaker 1: do not have to force yourself into instant belief. Start
Speaker 1: with willingness, Start with practice, Start with repetition, because old
Speaker 1: beliefs were learned through repetition too, and now we are
Speaker 1: simply teaching the mind a kinder language. I am worthy
Speaker 1: of love and respect. Starting with me, say that slowly,
Speaker 1: Let your heart hear it, Let your body hear it,
Speaker 1: Let the nervous system hear it. The point is not
Speaker 1: to create a shiny fake thought. The point is to
Speaker 1: interrupt the old cruelty and begin introducing a better truth.
Speaker 1: Every time you do this, you wipe a little more
Speaker 1: dust from the inner mirror. Every time you do this,
Speaker 1: you stop handing the old wound the microphone. Every time
Speaker 1: you do this, you say, I am no longer willing
Speaker 1: to see myself only through pain. The world often reflects
Speaker 1: the way I have been seeing myself. So let yourself
Speaker 1: see yourself differently, my dear, more kindly, more truthfully, more lovingly.
Speaker 1: And this leads so beautifully into nurturing the inner child,
Speaker 1: because so often what gets triggered in the present is
Speaker 1: not only the present. A dis appointment happens now, yes,
Speaker 1: A rejection happens now, yes, A failure, a loss, a conflict,
Speaker 1: and uncertainty. Yes, all of that may be happening now,
Speaker 1: but what often rushes up through the body is very old,
Speaker 1: an old loneliness, an old fear, an old hunger to
Speaker 1: be chosen, an old terror of being left, an old
Speaker 1: ache of not being protected enough, soothed enough, understood enough.
Speaker 1: That is why I want you to begin thinking very
Speaker 1: gently of the child within you, not as a dramatic idea,
Speaker 1: just the younger self, still living in some quiet chamber
Speaker 1: of your being, still carrying impressions, still waiting to know
Speaker 1: whether someone kind will come. My dear one, Now you
Speaker 1: can be that someone. You can place your hand on
Speaker 1: your heart and imagine holding the little you, not fixing,
Speaker 1: not lecturing, just holding, just asking softly, what do you
Speaker 1: need right now? Do you need comfort? Do you need rest?
Speaker 1: Do you need reassurance? Do you need someone to say
Speaker 1: it was not your fault? Do you need someone to
Speaker 1: say you do not have to be strong all by
Speaker 1: yourself any more. When I support the child within me,
Speaker 1: I stop borrowing worth from the outside world. That is
Speaker 1: such a powerful shift, because when the inner child has
Speaker 1: not been comforted, we go out into the world trying
Speaker 1: to borrow support from everyone and everything. We borrow approval,
Speaker 1: we borrow attention, we borrow permission, we borrow identity, we
Speaker 1: borrow worth. We keep reaching outward for what inwardly has
Speaker 1: not yet been given enough space to grow. But when
Speaker 1: you begin to nurture yourself, the reaching changes. It becomes softer.
Speaker 1: It's desperate, less dependent, not because you no longer need anyone,
Speaker 1: but because you are no longer asking the whole world
Speaker 1: to do the job of your own inner care. I
Speaker 1: can give myself the support I have been asking life
Speaker 1: to bring me. And that is not isolation. It is stability,
Speaker 1: It is wholeness. It is the beginning of a deeper
Speaker 1: emotional freedom. Then there is self compassion, which I believe
Speaker 1: is one of the most underestimated healing powers in the world.
Speaker 1: So many people think they will improve faster if they
Speaker 1: are harder on themselves. They think shame will motivate them.
Speaker 1: They think guilt will purify them. They think if they
Speaker 1: criticize themselves enough, they will somehow become better, cleaner, stronger,
Speaker 1: more lovable, more successful. But my dear one, guilt does
Speaker 1: not heal. Shame does not heal, harshness does not heal.
Speaker 1: Guilt does not heal kindness heals. That is a truth.
Speaker 1: I want you to keep very close to your heart,
Speaker 1: because when something painful happens, when you make a mistake,
Speaker 1: when you break down, when you cry, when you do
Speaker 1: not handle something the way you wish you had, that
Speaker 1: is precisely when you need compassion most not indulgence, not denial,
Speaker 1: Compassion the kind that says, yes, this hurts, Yes, I
Speaker 1: am human, Yes I may begin again. You are allowed
Speaker 1: to be sad without making yourself small. You are allowed
Speaker 1: to cry without deciding you are weak. You are allowed
Speaker 1: to be disappointed without making it a verdict on your worth.
Speaker 1: My pain does not reduce my value. My tears do
Speaker 1: not diminish my dignity. So when you are having a
Speaker 1: hard day, speak to yourself the way you would speak
Speaker 1: to a dear friend who is frightened, tired, or heartbroken.
Speaker 1: Would you tell your friend you are ridiculous, you should
Speaker 1: have known better, you are hopeless. Of course not. You
Speaker 1: would say you did the best you could. Let us breathe,
Speaker 1: let us take the next step, let us be gentle.
Speaker 1: So offer that to yourself, Offer yourself the reset sentence,
Speaker 1: I did my best. I can begin again. There is
Speaker 1: so much mercy in that I did my best, I
Speaker 1: can begin again, My dear one, Beginning again is one
Speaker 1: of the most powerful privileges of being alive, and self
Speaker 1: compassion is what lets you use that privilege instead of
Speaker 1: wasting days or years punishing yourself for being human. Kindness
Speaker 1: makes healing possible, not because it erases accountability, but because
Speaker 1: it creates enough safety for growth to happen. Now, let
Speaker 1: us talk about the body, because loving and supporting yourself
Speaker 1: must include the body. The mind and the body are
Speaker 1: not separate little worlds. They are in conversation all the time.
Speaker 1: A tired body makes the mind more fearful. A dehydrated
Speaker 1: body makes emotions harder to regulate. An untouched, unwalked, underrested
Speaker 1: body often struggles to support the kind of clarity you
Speaker 1: need during a difficult season. My dear one, your body
Speaker 1: is your temple, yes, but it is also your companion,
Speaker 1: your instrument, your house, your atmosphere. And when you are
Speaker 1: in the middle of pain, it is not the time
Speaker 1: to neglect it. It is the time to steward it
Speaker 1: more carefully. A well cared for body helps the mind
Speaker 1: choose more wisely. This matters because in times of upheaval.
Speaker 1: People often stop sleeping well, stop drinking enough water, stop moving,
Speaker 1: stop grounding. Then they wonder why everything feels heavier, louder, darker,
Speaker 1: more impossible. Start small, sleep a little earlier, if you can,
Speaker 1: drink water before you pick up your phone, take a
Speaker 1: ten minute walk, let warm water run over your body
Speaker 1: in the shower, and tell yourself, I am caring for
Speaker 1: my own life now, my dear one, do not underestimate
Speaker 1: these little things. They are not separate from healing. They
Speaker 1: are part of it. My body deserves my kindness too.
Speaker 1: You may think that drinking water or taking a short
Speaker 1: walk is too small to matter when the heart is hurting,
Speaker 1: but that is not true at all. Small acts of
Speaker 1: body care tell the nervous system I have not abandoned you.
Speaker 1: They tell the mind we are still ill on our
Speaker 1: own side. They tell the whole being, even now, even
Speaker 1: in difficulty, even in uncertainty, I will care for this life.
Speaker 1: And that creates a quiet strength, not dramatic, perhaps, but steady, real,
Speaker 1: useful loving. My healing lives in small caring choices. One
Speaker 1: glass of water, one warm bath, one walk around the block,
Speaker 1: one extra hour of sleep. These are not tiny things.
Speaker 1: They are acts of allegiance to yourself. And then there
Speaker 1: is something I love so much, micro joy. Oh yes,
Speaker 1: my dear one, this matters. So many people think they
Speaker 1: must wait until the storm passes before they are allowed
Speaker 1: to feel joy again. They say, once I am healed,
Speaker 1: then I will enjoy life. Once this is solved, then
Speaker 1: I will laugh. Once the pain is gone, then I
Speaker 1: will allow beauty. But no, that is too long to wait.
Speaker 1: You do not have to postpone all sweetness until after
Speaker 1: the hard season ends. In fact, one of the kindest
Speaker 1: things you can do in a difficult time is to
Speaker 1: create little moments of light. A song you love, one
Speaker 1: page of a beautiful book, one flower on the table,
Speaker 1: one candle lit on purpose, one cup of tea sipped slowly,
Speaker 1: one bit of morning light on the wall, one walk
Speaker 1: under the sky. Joy is medicine. I want you to
Speaker 1: remember that joy is medicine. Not because joy denies your pain,
Speaker 1: but because joy reminds the body that pain is not
Speaker 1: the only thing happening. It reminds the heart that beauty
Speaker 1: still exists. It reminds the nervous system that life is
Speaker 1: not only threat, loss or effort. Small joy is how
Speaker 1: we begin to rebuild trust in life, and my dear one,
Speaker 1: trust is built in very small bricks. It is not
Speaker 1: always rebuilt through one massive revelation. Sometimes it is rebuilt
Speaker 1: through one song, one kind sentence, one glass of water,
Speaker 1: one crossed out belief, one loving look in the mirror,
Speaker 1: one hand on the heart, one walk, one reset phrase,
Speaker 1: one flower, one breath. That is how we come back,
Speaker 1: That is how we support ourselves, that is how we
Speaker 1: heal from within. Small joy is a brick in the
Speaker 1: rebuilding of trust. So please do not dismiss the little
Speaker 1: things that make your spirit exhale. They matter, They matter
Speaker 1: very much. So now let us gather these together. My
Speaker 1: dear one, clean the inner mirror, notice the old belief
Speaker 1: and replace it with a kinder truth. Nurture the child
Speaker 1: within you, and ask what that little one needs right now.
Speaker 1: Pra to self compassion instead of self attack. Care for
Speaker 1: your body with rest, water, warmth, and movement. And let
Speaker 1: yourself have one small joy each day. Not after life
Speaker 1: becomes perfect, but now I love and support myself. I
Speaker 1: am here for me. Joy is medicine. All is well.
Speaker 1: And if you carry only one thing from this part,
Speaker 1: let it be this. You do not have to heal
Speaker 1: by becoming harder. You heal by becoming kinder, steadier, more present,
Speaker 1: and more devoted to yourself. That is where real strength begins.
Speaker 1: That is where the whole inner world begins to rearrange
Speaker 1: itself around love instead of fear. And my dear one,
Speaker 1: once that begins, everything starts changing in waghs far deeper
Speaker 1: than the eye can see. Repeat with me, now, my
Speaker 1: dear one, slowly, gently, lovingly, not as a performance, not
Speaker 1: as a way to force yourself into becoming some one else,
Speaker 1: but as a way of returning home to yourself, as
Speaker 1: a way of letting your own voice become a place
Speaker 1: of comfort, As a way of teaching your heart, your mind,
Speaker 1: and your body that you are no longer alone inside
Speaker 1: your own life. Take a long breath in and let
Speaker 1: it go slowly, Let the shoulders soften, let the jaw loosen,
Speaker 1: Place your hand over your heart if that feels good
Speaker 1: to you, and just notice for a moment that you
Speaker 1: are here. You are still here. After everything you have felt,
Speaker 1: everything you have carried, everything you have tried to survive,
Speaker 1: You are still here. And that matters. It matters so much.
Speaker 1: Now I want you to let these words come in softly,
Speaker 1: do not rush them, Let them land, let them settle,
Speaker 1: let them become more than words, let them become a
Speaker 1: new atmosphere within you. I love and support myself. I
Speaker 1: love and support myself. I love and support myself, My
Speaker 1: dear one, stay with that for a moment. I love
Speaker 1: and support myself not only on the easy days, not
Speaker 1: only when I am doing well, not only when I
Speaker 1: am calm, productive, beautiful, strong, spiritual, patient, or pleasing. No,
Speaker 1: I love and support myself now in the middle of learning,
Speaker 1: in the middle of healing, in the middle of becoming,
Speaker 1: in the middle of not having everything figured out yet.
Speaker 1: I love and support myself. That means I stop speaking
Speaker 1: to myself like an enemy. That means I stop turning
Speaker 1: my pain into proof that I am unworthy. That means
Speaker 1: I begin to become a safe place for my own heart.
Speaker 1: My dear there is such healing in that, such real healing,
Speaker 1: because so much changes when you stop waiting for the
Speaker 1: world to be kind to you first and you begin
Speaker 1: being kind to yourself. Now, now say softly, I am
Speaker 1: here for me. Pause, breathe, I am here for me.
Speaker 1: Those are powerful words. They mean I do not leave
Speaker 1: myself when life gets hard. I do not disappear for
Speaker 1: myself when I feel ashamed, frightened, disappointed, or hurt. I
Speaker 1: do not become my own abandoner. I stay. I stay
Speaker 1: with my tears. I stay with my fear, I stay
Speaker 1: with my confusion, I stay with my hope. I am
Speaker 1: here for me, my dear one. Even that one's sentence
Speaker 1: can begin to heal years of inner loneliness, because what
Speaker 1: the heart longs for so deeply is not perfection. It
Speaker 1: longs for presents. It longs for someone to say, I
Speaker 1: am still here, I'm not going anywhere. We will get
Speaker 1: through this together. And now you can become that voice
Speaker 1: for yourself. Now say I am worthy of love and respect.
Speaker 1: Let that sentence move through you slowly. I am worthy
Speaker 1: of love and respect, Not after I prove myself, not
Speaker 1: after I suffer enough, Not after I become everything other
Speaker 1: people expect, Not after I earn it through overgiving, overworking,
Speaker 1: over explaining, or shrinking. I am worthy of love and respect,
Speaker 1: starting here, starting now, starting with me, my dear one.
Speaker 1: When you begin to believe that, even a little, you
Speaker 1: stop allowing so much pain to stay where it does
Speaker 1: not belong. You stop negotiating your value. You stop begging
Speaker 1: for crumbs in places where your soul was meant to
Speaker 1: be nourished. You begin to choose differently, speak differently, rest differently,
Speaker 1: carry yourself differently. I am worthy of love and respect.
Speaker 1: Let the body hear that. Let the nervous system hear that.
Speaker 1: Let the younger self within you hear that. Now say
Speaker 1: I choose gentle healing, one day at a time. Again,
Speaker 1: very softly, I choose gentle healing, one day at a time.
Speaker 1: I love this affirmation because healing does not need to
Speaker 1: be violent. Healing does not need to be rushed. Healing
Speaker 1: does not need to be dramatic to be real. You
Speaker 1: do not have to tear yourself apart to grow. You
Speaker 1: do not have to hate your way into a better life.
Speaker 1: You do not have to demand instant transformation from a
Speaker 1: tired heart or a frightened body. I choose gentle healing,
Speaker 1: one day at a time. That means I will let
Speaker 1: healing be steady, kind, honest, human, some day soft, some
Speaker 1: days slow, some days full of grace, some days full
Speaker 1: of lessons, but always rooted in love not punishment. My
Speaker 1: dear one, Gentle healing is still powerful healing. In fact,
Speaker 1: it is often the kind that lasts. And now say
Speaker 1: all is well. Pause. All is well. Not because everything
Speaker 1: is finished, not because every question has been answered, not
Speaker 1: because there is no pain left to feel, no growth
Speaker 1: left to walk through, no tenderness left to tend. But
Speaker 1: because even here, even now, even in the middle of
Speaker 1: the unfinished life, something loving is happening, something is softening,
Speaker 1: something is returning, something is being healed. All is well.
Speaker 1: That does not mean life is always easy. It means
Speaker 1: life is still holding you. It means you are still
Speaker 1: in the process of becoming. It means the story is
Speaker 1: not over. It means there is room for peace even now.
Speaker 1: So let us read them together once more, slowly, like
Speaker 1: a blessing over your own life. I love and support myself.
Speaker 1: I love and support myself. I love and support myself.
Speaker 1: I am here for me. I am worthy of love
Speaker 1: and respect. I choose gentle healing. One day at a time,
Speaker 1: all is well, And so it is. And if today
Speaker 1: you are choosing to stand on your own side, If
Speaker 1: today you are choosing to stop abandoning yourself, If today
Speaker 1: you are choosing to become a little more loving, a
Speaker 1: little more present, a little more supportive towards your own heart,
Speaker 1: then comment, I am here for me, my dear one.
Speaker 1: Let that be your declaration, Let that be your quiet promise.
Speaker 1: Let that be your new beginning.
