Speaker 1: Welcome in. This is your time to pause and breathe
through how you are feeling in this moment. Settle into
a position that feels comfortable for you. You don't need
to change anything dramatically. Allow your body to soften slightly
where it can if it feels okay, Gently close your
eyes or lower your gaze and let this be a
small pause in your day. Bring your attention to your breath.
No need to control it right away, but notice it
as it is the natural rhythm of breathing in and
breathing out. Let each breath be a quiet signal to
your body that it's okay to slow down, even a little.
If you're here with me right now. Maybe something inside
you feels like it's not enough, like you're falling short,
or comparing yourself or questioning your worth. Acknowledge that feeling.
You don't need to push it away, notice that it's there.
Often this feeling comes with a voice. It might sound
like pressure or criticism or doubt. You don't need to
argue with it right now. Instead, imagine taking a small
step back from it, as if you're creating a little
space between you and that voice. Gently bring your attention
back to your breath this time, let your inhale be
steady and slightly deeper, and your exhale a little slower.
Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth with
each outbreath. Allow your shoulders to drop just a bit more,
Let your jaws soften, Let your body begin to release
what it's been holding. The feeling of not good enough
can be convincing. It can feel personal, permanent and true.
But right now, see if you can recognize it as
a moment, not a definition, a passing state, not your identity.
You are still here, breathing, Your body is still supporting you.
There is more to you than this one thought, this
one feeling, this one moment of doubt. As you continue breathing,
imagine placing that feeling gently in front of you, instead
of carrying it inside you. You're not getting rid of it,
You're just no longer letting it sit at the center
of everything. From here, notice what else is present, The
steady rhythm of your breath, the support beneath you, the
quiet space you've created, even if it's small. You don't
need to prove anything in this moment. You don't need
to measure up, catch up, or be anything other than
what you are right now. Let that land. Then take
one more slow, steady breath in and a longer breath out,
and when you're ready, gently bring your awareness back, carrying
this small sense of space with you. You can return
to this any time you need it. Nomastae
