Some days feel heavier than others. The road ahead seems unclear, and your heart aches for peace. But Louise Hay gently reminds us: "This too shall pass. You're going to be okay."
Even when things fall apart, you are still whole. Even in your sadness, healing is already beginning. There is nothing wrong with you for feeling lost or tired these moments are invitations to pause, breathe, and return to the loving voice within.
Speak these words softly to yourself:
"I am doing the best I can.
I allow myself to rest.
It's okay to feel what I feel.
I trust life to guide me forward.
I am safe, I am loved, and I am healing."
You don't need to have all the answers. You only need to stay gentle with yourself. The storm will pass. Your light is not gone it's just resting.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
There are days when everything feels heavy, your heart aches,
and it's hard to explain why. You may be going
through something, or maybe it's just one of those days
where sadness settles in and refuses to leave. It might
feel like no one understands what you're dealing with, and
(00:22):
maybe you don't even have the energy to explain it.
That's okay. Right now, I want you to know that
it's safe to feel whatever you're feeling. There is no
need to hide it or fix it all at once.
You don't have to pretend to be strong when you're not.
(00:43):
You don't have to smile when your heart is tired.
This is a safe space and there is no judgment here.
I want you to hear these words deeply. You are
going to be okay. You may not see the path
clearly yet, but just because you don't see it doesn't
(01:03):
mean it isn't there. Life moves in quiet ways. Healing
can happen in the softest moments. The fact that you
are listening now is already proof that something inside you
wants peace. You are not broken, you are not lost
beyond hope. You are simply feeling what it means to
(01:25):
be human. Sometimes life is not fair. Sometimes people hurt us,
and sometimes we hurt ourselves with the thoughts we think.
But you are still here, and that means there is
still time to breathe, to choose something new, to feel supported.
(01:46):
You've survived so much already. Every breath you've taken in
pain has been a step closer to healing. Even if
you feel like you're stuck, even if nothing makes sense
right now, please remember you are not alone in this moment.
There is something bigger than us, love, energy, God, the
(02:08):
universe that is still holding you. It hasn't let go,
it never will. When you feel weak, that presence holds
you strong. When you feel forgotten, that love remembers you.
And when you feel like giving up, that inner light
waits patiently until you are ready to believe again. Say
(02:30):
softly to yourself, even though I feel overwhelmed, I am
safe and supported. Now let those words become your quiet prayer.
You don't need to fix everything in one day. Sometimes
all you need to do is be still and let
the pain pass through you like a wave. It won't
(02:53):
stay forever. Nothing does. You are being guided, even if
you don't feel it yet. Trust that something good is
still meant for you. You are going to be okay,
not because everything will magically change overnight, but because there
is strength in you that is still unfolding, and even
(03:15):
on the hardest days, that strength whispers keep going. You
may feel so many different emotions right now, sadness, frustration, fear,
maybe even numbness. Whatever your feeling is okay. You don't
have to explain it to anyone, not even yourself. Emotions
(03:38):
are a natural part of life. They come and go
like waves in the ocean. Some days they are calm
and other days they feel like a storm. But each
one has a purpose. Each feeling is here to teach
you something about yourself. You don't have to push them
away or pretend they're not there. Let them be, Let
(04:03):
them move through you like wind through trees. You are
strong enough to feel them without being controlled by them.
Sometimes we think we shouldn't feel certain things. We're told
to stay positive, to not cry, to move on quickly,
but that's not always possible, and that's not always right.
(04:27):
Healing begins when we stop running from our emotions and
start listening to them. If your heart feels heavy, it's
because it has carried so much. Let it rest, Let
it speak, Sit quietly and ask yourself, what do I
feel right now? And whatever comes up, welcome it with kindness.
(04:47):
Don't judge it, don't label it as bad, just allow
it to be. When we give our emotion space, they
begin to soften, they begin to shift. There's no need
to be a afraid of your feelings. They are not
here to hurt you. They are signals, not enemies. If
you feel anger, it may be protecting your boundaries. If
(05:12):
you feel sadness, it may be showing you what matters
to your heart. If you feel fear, it may be
asking you to slow down and take care of yourself.
Emotions are messengers. When you listen to them without judgment,
you open the door to deep healing. One simple way
(05:33):
to begin is by writing. Take a few minutes and
put your thoughts on paper. Don't worry about spelling or grammar.
Just write what you feel. Let your heart speak freely.
You might be surprised at how much lighter you feel afterward.
You can also place your hand on your heart and
say gently, I honor how I feel. My emotions are
(05:57):
valid and part of my healing. Speak these words with love,
even if you don't fully believe them. Yet over time,
your mind will start to understand your emotions are not weaknesses.
They are signs that you are alive, that you care,
that you're growing. So be patient with yourself. You are
(06:20):
learning to heal, you are learning to listen inward, and
you are doing better than you think. You are not behind,
You are exactly where you need to be. Sometimes the
hardest voice to silence is the one in our own heads,
that inner voice that says we're not good enough, that
(06:44):
we've made too many mistakes, that will never be okay again.
It's a voice many of us learned early on from
the world, from past hurts, and from comparing ourselves to others.
But you are not that voice. You are the listener,
and you have the power to change the conversation inside
(07:07):
your mind. Being kind to yourself when your struggling is
not easy, but it's necessary. Imagine speaking to a dear
friend who's hurting. You wouldn't tell them they're weak or
foolish for feeling low. You would hold them gently. You
would speak soft words and remind them of their worth.
(07:31):
You deserve that same tenderness. You are worthy of your
own love and care. Every thought you think sends a
message to your body. When you think harsh thoughts, your
body feels tense, your breath becomes shallow, and your heart
closes a little. But when you choose kind thoughts, your
(07:53):
body relaxes, your breath deepens, your energy begins to shift.
It's okay. If you've been hard on yourself in the past,
you can choose again now. This moment is always fresh.
It's never too late to begin again. You can begin
by looking into the mirror, gently into your own eyes
(08:16):
and saying, I am learning to speak to myself with
love and kindness. These words are seeds. You may not
see the flower yet, but every time you say them,
you are watering the roots. Change starts with softness. You
don't need to be perfect to love yourself. You don't
(08:39):
need to have all the answers. You just need to
be willing to try. Every time you notice a harsh thought,
pause and ask would I say this to someone I love.
If the answer is no, choose a kinder thought. It
might feel awkward at first, that's okay. Be awkward, be unsure,
(09:02):
but be loving. Over time, those gentle words will become
your new truth. You will begin to believe in your
own goodness. You will begin to trust that you are enough.
Your mind is like a garden. You get to decide
what grows there. Pull out the weeds of criticism and
plant the seeds of compassion. Be patient with yourself as
(09:25):
you grow. Healing is not a straight line. Some days
you will feel strong and some days you won't. But
each day you speak to yourself with kindness, you take
another step toward peace. You are not your past, You
are not your pain. You are the one who is
(09:46):
learning to love yourself through it all, and that love
is more powerful than you know. When you begin to
understand how much your thoughts influence your life, everything starts
to change. We often believe that our emotions just come
from the world around us, but so many of them
(10:07):
begin in the thoughts we think over and over again.
A thought becomes a belief, and a belief becomes a pattern.
That pattern can shape how we feel, how we act,
and how our body responds. If you wake up each
day thinking I'm not good enough or nothing ever works
(10:29):
out for me, your body hears those words, your heart
feels them, your energy becomes heavy. But if you gently
choose different words, the shift begins. It doesn't need to
be loud or dramatic. A soft thought like I am
doing the best I can or I am open to
(10:51):
healing is enough to start turning your day around. Even
small thoughts carry great power. Think of your mind like
a stream of water. You can choose which way it flows.
You don't have to keep going in the direction of
fear and worry. You can guide it toward peace and love.
(11:13):
This is not about ignoring your pain. It's about not
feeding it more than it already hurts. You can feel
your feelings and still choose thoughts that soothe instead of sting.
Try saying to yourself, I choose thoughts that nourish and
support me. Say it gently, say it often, Let it
(11:36):
become your reminder when the old voices return. It's not
about forcing yourself to be positive all the time. It's
about reaching for a thought that feels just a little
better than the last one, One soft thought at a time,
one kind word to yourself, one deep breath. The body
(11:57):
listens to everything the mind believes. When you tell yourself
you're safe, your breath steadies. When you tell yourself you're enough,
your shoulders drop. When you tell yourself it's okay to
take it slow, your whole being begins to relax. Visualize
(12:17):
each thought like a drop of color in water. The
more kind thoughts you add, the more the whole space
fills with peace. This is the beginning of healing. This
is how you reclaim your mind, not with force, but
with love. You're not trying to be perfect. You're learning
(12:38):
how to be gentle with yourself again and again, and
that is enough. There is nothing wrong with you for
feeling hurt. There is nothing wrong with you for needing rest,
for needing time, for needing to feel seen and loved.
You are not broken. You are becoming. Sometimes it's easy
(13:02):
to believe that we should be further ahead, or that
something is wrong with us, because we're still hurting, still struggling,
still figuring things out. But pain is not a sign
of weakness. It's a sign that your heart has been
brave enough to care. It means you've loved, you've tried,
(13:24):
you've hoped, and now you are growing in a new way.
Healing doesn't always look pretty. It often looks like confusion.
It feels like going backwards. It makes you question if
you're doing anything right. But growth is quiet. It happens underground.
(13:46):
Think of a seed before it becomes a flower, it
breaks open in the dark. It pushes through the soil
with no proof of light, only the quiet pull of life.
That's what you're doing. You're not stuck, You're growing roots.
You're not behind, You're becoming stronger. You don't have to
(14:08):
have all the answers right now. You only need to
be willing to keep showing up for yourself. Say softly,
I am healing, even when I cannot see it yet.
Let that be your truth, even if everything still hurts,
even if the future feels uncertain. Healing is not something
(14:29):
you force, It is something you allow. Some days will
feel lighter, some days will feel hard, But each day
is part of the process. You are still learning how
to live with more kindness, more understanding, more faith. The
hard days don't mean your failing. They just mean you
(14:50):
are feeling deeply. You are becoming someone who knows how
to be with themselves through everything that is powerful is beautiful.
You are not broken. You are in a sacred process
of becoming. Trust it, even if you don't understand it yet,
(15:12):
Trust that something good is forming within you. It always
has been. You were never meant to earn your worth.
You were born with it. There is a deep part
of you that knows this. Even if you've been taught otherwise,
Even if the world made you feel like you had
to prove yourself to be loved, even if people failed
(15:35):
to see your value, none of that changes what is true.
You are worthy, You are lovable, and you deserve love,
especially from yourself. On the days when everything feels hard,
that's when you need your own love the most. Not judgment,
(15:56):
not pressure, just love. It might feel strange at first.
Maybe you're used to being hard on yourself, thinking it's
the only way to improve or stay safe. But you
don't have to be your own enemy. You can be
your own comfort, your own friend, your own support. Begin gently,
(16:19):
place a hand on your heart and breathe. Close your eyes,
and say, I am worthy of love, especially my own.
These words are healing. Let them soften you. You don't need
to wait until you fix everything. You don't need to
become any one else. The love you give to others
(16:41):
so freely, so deeply, that same love belongs to you too.
You don't have to beg for it or earn it.
You just have to give yourself permission to receive it.
It's okay If that feels hard, start with small acts
of kindness. Let yourself rest without guilt. Speak kindly to
(17:04):
yourself when you make a mistake, celebrate the little things
you do well. Look in the mirror each morning and
say good morning. I love you, even if you don't
fully believe it, yet say it anyway. Your soul hears you.
Your body responds to that love. Your heart begins to
(17:25):
soften self. Love is not selfish, It is necessary. It
fills your cup so that you don't feel drained. It
reminds you that you are your own home. You are
your own source of strength. When you love yourself, you
teach others how to love you too. You attract kindness,
(17:46):
You protect your peace. You walk through the world knowing
your value, and when hard days come, that love becomes
your anchor. You are not alone, You are not unworthy.
You are learning to love yourself again, just as you
were always meant to, and that love will carry you through.
(18:11):
There is something so comforting in knowing that you are
never truly alone. Even in your quietest moments, even when
no one seems to understand what you're going through, you
are being held by something greater than yourself. Call it
the universe, Call it love, call it God. Whatever feels
(18:32):
right for you. That presence is always near, even when
you can't feel it. On hard days, it may seem
like nothing is working, like the world has gone quiet.
But silence is not absence. Just like the sun continues
to shine behind the clouds, there is always light, even
(18:54):
when you can't see it. You are always being guided.
Even when you're path feels unclear, you are not walking
it alone. The same energy that created the stars and
moves the oceans lives within you. It breathes in you,
It leads you. You may not always recognize the signs,
(19:16):
but they are there. A gentle thought that brings relief,
a kind word from a stranger, a moment of peace
in the middle of your pain. These are reminders that
you are supported. Take a moment and breathe deeply, Put
your hand on your chest and say, I am always
guided even when I feel lost. Let that truth settle
(19:41):
into your heart. Begin to trust that things are working
out even if you can't see how. Begin to believe
that there is a purpose to your journey even when
you feel uncertain. Look for the small moments of grace
each day, A moment of quiet, a breeze on your face,
(20:02):
a word that lifts your spirit. These are not accidents.
They are the universe whispering I'm still here. I've got you.
When you feel overwhelmed, close your eyes and imagine yourself
being held in light. Let that light soothe your fears.
(20:22):
Let it remind you that you are never alone. You
were never meant to carry everything by yourself. You were
meant to lean on something greater. You were meant to
be supported, loved, and protected even in your loneliest hours.
That love does not leave trust it, lean into it.
(20:48):
You are being carried. Everything in life is temporary, every feeling,
every season, every storm. This truth can bring comfort, especially
when you are going through a hard time. Pain doesn't
last forever, Sadness doesn't stay, wounds begin to heal. There
(21:09):
is always a new chapter waiting, even if it takes
time to arrive. When life feels heavy, it's easy to
believe that things will always be this way, But nothing
in nature stays the same. The trees lose their leaves,
and then they bloom again. The night gives way to
the morning, rain eventually ends. Your life is no different.
(21:35):
What you are going through right now will pass. You
may not know when or how, but you can trust
that change is already in motion. This moment is not
your forever. Remind yourself gently, this is a moment in time.
I will not feel this way forever. Let those words
(21:56):
be your anchor. Don't pressure yourself to rush the process.
You don't need to force healing. You only need to
breathe and keep going, one breath, one step, one gentle
thought at a time. Life is made up of moments,
and each one holds the chance for something new. You
may wake up tomorrow and feel a little lighter. You
(22:19):
may notice that a wound that once hurts so deeply
now feels softer. Healing can be slow and quiet, but
it's always happening beneath the surface. Trust the process. Allow
yourself to rest when you need to take breaks, Be
tender with your heart. When things feel too much, pause
(22:43):
and say, this too shall pass. You don't need to
have all the answers. You just need to keep going.
Your feelings are not permanent, Your pain is not your identity.
You are more than this moment. You are strong enough
to make it through, and when the clouds begin to part,
(23:03):
you will see just how much you've grown there is
light on the other side of this Hold on. You
don't need to wait for a perfect day to begin again.
Every single moment holds the power to start fresh. You
don't need a plan or a big change. Sometimes the
(23:25):
most powerful thing you can do is something small and gentle.
Maybe it's drinking a glass of water, stepping outside for
a few minutes, or writing one sentence in a journal.
These small acts matter. They send a message to your heart.
I care about myself. I'm willing to begin Healing happens
(23:48):
in the present, not in the past, not in the future,
but right now. You don't have to carry yesterday with you.
You don't have to worry about tomorrow. Ask yourself, what
do I need right now? And then listen with kindness.
Maybe you need rest, maybe you need movement, maybe you
(24:11):
just need to cry. Whatever comes up, honor it. There
is no wrong way to begin again. It doesn't have
to be big. It just has to be true. Say
to yourself, each moment is a new chance to love myself.
Let that be your permission to keep trying, to keep
(24:31):
showing up. You are not expected to have it all
figured out. You are only asked to be present, to
be gentle and to believe in the power of now.
Take a few moments each morning to speak kindly to yourself.
You can begin your day with a simple affirmation like
(24:52):
I am open to feeling better to day. That's enough,
That's a beautiful beginning. You may be surprised by how
much shifts when you make space for yourself in small,
loving ways, and when you fall back into old habits,
that's okay too. Just begin again as many times as
(25:13):
you need. Beginning again is not failure, it is strength,
It is love and action. Your healing is not about
reaching a perfect destination. It's about learning to walk with
yourself in patience and compassion. You are allowed to begin
again every time you forget your worth, every time life
(25:36):
feels heavy, every time your heart needs a reminder that
it is still loved. You are allowed to start over
with tenderness. You are allowed to move slowly. You are
allowed to make progress in your own way. Let to
day be your gentle beginning. You have walked through more
(25:58):
than any one knows. You have carried weight in your
heart and kept going even when it was hard. And
to day, I want you to remember this truth. You're
going to be okay. Life may not look the way
you expected. The path may feel longer, the lessons harder,
the loss is deeper. But you are still here, still breathing,
(26:22):
still growing. That means something. That means there is more
ahead for you, more healing, more love, more light. You
do not have to fix everything to deserve peace. You
don't have to be perfectly healed to be worthy of happiness.
The journey itself is sacred the process of learning to
(26:45):
love yourself, to trust the timing of your life, to
believe that things can get better. That is the real work,
and you are doing it even on the days when
it doesn't feel like it, Even when your progress is quiet.
You are enough. You are healing in your own time,
(27:07):
and you are going to be okay. Let this be
the voice you remember when things feel dark. Let this
be the whisper you carry when you feel alone. Let
this be the truth you speak to yourself over and
over again. I am safe, I am healing, I am
held by love. I am going to be okay. These
(27:29):
words are not just wishes. They are reminders of the
strength already inside you, and no matter what comes next,
that strength will carry you through. You are going to
be okay. You already are
There are days when everything feels heavy, your heart aches,
and it's hard to explain why. You may be going
through something, or maybe it's just one of those days
where sadness settles in and refuses to leave. It might
feel like no one understands what you're dealing with, and
(00:22):
maybe you don't even have the energy to explain it.
That's okay. Right now, I want you to know that
it's safe to feel whatever you're feeling. There is no
need to hide it or fix it all at once.
You don't have to pretend to be strong when you're not.
(00:43):
You don't have to smile when your heart is tired.
This is a safe space and there is no judgment here.
I want you to hear these words deeply. You are
going to be okay. You may not see the path
clearly yet, but just because you don't see it doesn't
(01:03):
mean it isn't there. Life moves in quiet ways. Healing
can happen in the softest moments. The fact that you
are listening now is already proof that something inside you
wants peace. You are not broken, you are not lost
beyond hope. You are simply feeling what it means to
(01:25):
be human. Sometimes life is not fair. Sometimes people hurt us,
and sometimes we hurt ourselves with the thoughts we think.
But you are still here, and that means there is
still time to breathe, to choose something new, to feel supported.
(01:46):
You've survived so much already. Every breath you've taken in
pain has been a step closer to healing. Even if
you feel like you're stuck, even if nothing makes sense
right now, please remember you are not alone in this moment.
There is something bigger than us, love, energy, God, the
(02:08):
universe that is still holding you. It hasn't let go,
it never will. When you feel weak, that presence holds
you strong. When you feel forgotten, that love remembers you.
And when you feel like giving up, that inner light
waits patiently until you are ready to believe again. Say
(02:30):
softly to yourself, even though I feel overwhelmed, I am
safe and supported. Now let those words become your quiet prayer.
You don't need to fix everything in one day. Sometimes
all you need to do is be still and let
the pain pass through you like a wave. It won't

stay forever. Nothing does. You are being guided, even if

body relaxes, your breath deepens, your energy begins to shift.
It's okay. If you've been hard on yourself in the past,
you can choose again now. This moment is always fresh.
It's never too late to begin again. You can begin
by looking into the mirror, gently into your own eyes
(08:16):
and saying, I am learning to speak to myself with
love and kindness. These words are seeds. You may not
see the flower yet, but every time you say them,
you are watering the roots. Change starts with softness. You
don't need to be perfect to love yourself. You don't
(08:39):
need to have all the answers. You just need to
be willing to try. Every time you notice a harsh thought,
pause and ask would I say this to someone I love.
If the answer is no, choose a kinder thought. It
might feel awkward at first, that's okay. Be awkward, be unsure,
(09:02):
but be loving. Over time, those gentle words will become
your new truth. You will begin to believe in your
own goodness. You will begin to trust that you are enough.
Your mind is like a garden. You get to decide
what grows there. Pull out the weeds of criticism and
plant the seeds of compassion. Be patient with yourself as
(09:25):
you grow. Healing is not a straight line. Some days
you will feel strong and some days you won't. But
each day you speak to yourself with kindness, you take
another step toward peace. You are not your past, You
are not your pain. You are the one who is
(09:46):
learning to love yourself through it all, and that love
is more powerful than you know. When you begin to
understand how much your thoughts influence your life, everything starts
to change. We often believe that our emotions just come
from the world around us, but so many of them
(10:07):
begin in the thoughts we think over and over again.
A thought becomes a belief, and a belief becomes a pattern.
That pattern can shape how we feel, how we act,
and how our body responds. If you wake up each
day thinking I'm not good enough or nothing ever works
(10:29):
out for me, your body hears those words, your heart
feels them, your energy becomes heavy. But if you gently
choose different words, the shift begins. It doesn't need to
be loud or dramatic. A soft thought like I am
doing the best I can or I am open to
(10:51):
healing is enough to start turning your day around. Even
small thoughts carry great power. Think of your mind like
a stream of water. You can choose which way it flows.
You don't have to keep going in the direction of
fear and worry. You can guide it toward peace and love.
(11:13):
This is not about ignoring your pain. It's about not
feeding it more than it already hurts. You can feel
your feelings and still choose thoughts that soothe instead of sting.
Try saying to yourself, I choose thoughts that nourish and
support me. Say it gently, say it often, Let it
(11:36):
become your reminder when the old voices return. It's not
about forcing yourself to be positive all the time. It's
about reaching for a thought that feels just a little
better than the last one, One soft thought at a time,
one kind word to yourself, one deep breath. The body
(11:57):
listens to everything the mind believes. When you tell yourself
you're safe, your breath steadies. When you tell yourself you're enough,
your shoulders drop. When you tell yourself it's okay to
take it slow, your whole being begins to relax. Visualize
(12:17):
each thought like a drop of color in water. The
more kind thoughts you add, the more the whole space
fills with peace. This is the beginning of healing. This
is how you reclaim your mind, not with force, but
with love. You're not trying to be perfect. You're learning
(12:38):
how to be gentle with yourself again and again, and
that is enough. There is nothing wrong with you for
feeling hurt. There is nothing wrong with you for needing rest,
for needing time, for needing to feel seen and loved.
You are not broken. You are becoming. Sometimes it's easy
(13:02):
to believe that we should be further ahead, or that
something is wrong with us, because we're still hurting, still struggling,
still figuring things out. But pain is not a sign
of weakness. It's a sign that your heart has been
brave enough to care. It means you've loved, you've tried,
(13:24):
you've hoped, and now you are growing in a new way.
Healing doesn't always look pretty. It often looks like confusion.
It feels like going backwards. It makes you question if
you're doing anything right. But growth is quiet. It happens underground.
(13:46):
Think of a seed before it becomes a flower, it
breaks open in the dark. It pushes through the soil
with no proof of light, only the quiet pull of life.
That's what you're doing. You're not stuck, You're growing roots.
You're not behind, You're becoming stronger. You don't have to
(14:08):
have all the answers right now. You only need to
be willing to keep showing up for yourself. Say softly,
I am healing, even when I cannot see it yet.
Let that be your truth, even if everything still hurts,
even if the future feels uncertain. Healing is not something
(14:29):
you force, It is something you allow. Some days will
feel lighter, some days will feel hard, But each day
is part of the process. You are still learning how
to live with more kindness, more understanding, more faith. The
hard days don't mean your failing. They just mean you
(14:50):
are feeling deeply. You are becoming someone who knows how
to be with themselves through everything that is powerful is beautiful.
You are not broken. You are in a sacred process
of becoming. Trust it, even if you don't understand it yet,
(15:12):
Trust that something good is forming within you. It always
has been. You were never meant to earn your worth.
You were born with it. There is a deep part
of you that knows this. Even if you've been taught otherwise,
Even if the world made you feel like you had
to prove yourself to be loved, even if people failed
(15:35):
to see your value, none of that changes what is true.
You are worthy, You are lovable, and you deserve love,
especially from yourself. On the days when everything feels hard,
that's when you need your own love the most. Not judgment,
(15:56):
not pressure, just love. It might feel strange at first.
Maybe you're used to being hard on yourself, thinking it's
the only way to improve or stay safe. But you
don't have to be your own enemy. You can be
your own comfort, your own friend, your own support. Begin gently,
(16:19):
place a hand on your heart and breathe. Close your eyes,
and say, I am worthy of love, especially my own.
These words are healing. Let them soften you. You don't need
to wait until you fix everything. You don't need to
become any one else. The love you give to others
(16:41):
so freely, so deeply, that same love belongs to you too.
You don't have to beg for it or earn it.
You just have to give yourself permission to receive it.
It's okay If that feels hard, start with small acts
of kindness. Let yourself rest without guilt. Speak kindly to
(17:04):
yourself when you make a mistake, celebrate the little things
you do well. Look in the mirror each morning and
say good morning. I love you, even if you don't
fully believe it, yet say it anyway. Your soul hears you.
Your body responds to that love. Your heart begins to
(17:25):
soften self. Love is not selfish, It is necessary. It
fills your cup so that you don't feel drained. It
reminds you that you are your own home. You are
your own source of strength. When you love yourself, you
teach others how to love you too. You attract kindness,
(17:46):
You protect your peace. You walk through the world knowing
your value, and when hard days come, that love becomes
your anchor. You are not alone, You are not unworthy.
You are learning to love yourself again, just as you
were always meant to, and that love will carry you through.
(18:11):
There is something so comforting in knowing that you are
never truly alone. Even in your quietest moments, even when
no one seems to understand what you're going through, you
are being held by something greater than yourself. Call it
the universe, Call it love, call it God. Whatever feels
(18:32):
right for you. That presence is always near, even when
you can't feel it. On hard days, it may seem
like nothing is working, like the world has gone quiet.
But silence is not absence. Just like the sun continues
to shine behind the clouds, there is always light, even
(18:54):
when you can't see it. You are always being guided.
Even when you're path feels unclear, you are not walking
it alone. The same energy that created the stars and
moves the oceans lives within you. It breathes in you,
It leads you. You may not always recognize the signs,
(19:16):
but they are there. A gentle thought that brings relief,
a kind word from a stranger, a moment of peace
in the middle of your pain. These are reminders that
you are supported. Take a moment and breathe deeply, Put
your hand on your chest and say, I am always
guided even when I feel lost. Let that truth settle
(19:41):
into your heart. Begin to trust that things are working
out even if you can't see how. Begin to believe
that there is a purpose to your journey even when
you feel uncertain. Look for the small moments of grace
each day, A moment of quiet, a breeze on your face,
(20:02):
a word that lifts your spirit. These are not accidents.
They are the universe whispering I'm still here. I've got you.
When you feel overwhelmed, close your eyes and imagine yourself
being held in light. Let that light soothe your fears.
(20:22):
Let it remind you that you are never alone. You
were never meant to carry everything by yourself. You were
meant to lean on something greater. You were meant to
be supported, loved, and protected even in your loneliest hours.
That love does not leave trust it, lean into it.
(20:48):
You are being carried. Everything in life is temporary, every feeling,
every season, every storm. This truth can bring comfort, especially
when you are going through a hard time. Pain doesn't
last forever, Sadness doesn't stay, wounds begin to heal. There
(21:09):
is always a new chapter waiting, even if it takes
time to arrive. When life feels heavy, it's easy to
believe that things will always be this way, But nothing
in nature stays the same. The trees lose their leaves,
and then they bloom again. The night gives way to
the morning, rain eventually ends. Your life is no different.
(21:35):
What you are going through right now will pass. You
may not know when or how, but you can trust
that change is already in motion. This moment is not
your forever. Remind yourself gently, this is a moment in time.
I will not feel this way forever. Let those words
(21:56):
be your anchor. Don't pressure yourself to rush the process.
You don't need to force healing. You only need to
breathe and keep going, one breath, one step, one gentle
thought at a time. Life is made up of moments,
and each one holds the chance for something new. You
may wake up tomorrow and feel a little lighter. You
(22:19):
may notice that a wound that once hurts so deeply
now feels softer. Healing can be slow and quiet, but
it's always happening beneath the surface. Trust the process. Allow
yourself to rest when you need to take breaks, Be
tender with your heart. When things feel too much, pause
(22:43):
and say, this too shall pass. You don't need to
have all the answers. You just need to keep going.
Your feelings are not permanent, Your pain is not your identity.
You are more than this moment. You are strong enough
to make it through, and when the clouds begin to part,
(23:03):
you will see just how much you've grown there is
light on the other side of this Hold on. You
don't need to wait for a perfect day to begin again.
Every single moment holds the power to start fresh. You
don't need a plan or a big change. Sometimes the
(23:25):
most powerful thing you can do is something small and gentle.
Maybe it's drinking a glass of water, stepping outside for
a few minutes, or writing one sentence in a journal.
These small acts matter. They send a message to your heart.
I care about myself. I'm willing to begin Healing happens
(23:48):
in the present, not in the past, not in the future,
but right now. You don't have to carry yesterday with you.
You don't have to worry about tomorrow. Ask yourself, what
do I need right now? And then listen with kindness.
Maybe you need rest, maybe you need movement, maybe you
(24:11):
just need to cry. Whatever comes up, honor it. There
is no wrong way to begin again. It doesn't have
to be big. It just has to be true. Say
to yourself, each moment is a new chance to love myself.
Let that be your permission to keep trying, to keep
(24:31):
showing up. You are not expected to have it all
figured out. You are only asked to be present, to
be gentle and to believe in the power of now.
Take a few moments each morning to speak kindly to yourself.
You can begin your day with a simple affirmation like
(24:52):
I am open to feeling better to day. That's enough,
That's a beautiful beginning. You may be surprised by how
much shifts when you make space for yourself in small,
loving ways, and when you fall back into old habits,
that's okay too. Just begin again as many times as
(25:13):
you need. Beginning again is not failure, it is strength,
It is love and action. Your healing is not about
reaching a perfect destination. It's about learning to walk with
yourself in patience and compassion. You are allowed to begin
again every time you forget your worth, every time life
(25:36):
feels heavy, every time your heart needs a reminder that
it is still loved. You are allowed to start over
with tenderness. You are allowed to move slowly. You are
allowed to make progress in your own way. Let to
day be your gentle beginning. You have walked through more
(25:58):
than any one knows. You have carried weight in your
heart and kept going even when it was hard. And
to day, I want you to remember this truth. You're
going to be okay. Life may not look the way
you expected. The path may feel longer, the lessons harder,
the loss is deeper. But you are still here, still breathing,
(26:22):
still growing. That means something. That means there is more
ahead for you, more healing, more love, more light. You
do not have to fix everything to deserve peace. You
don't have to be perfectly healed to be worthy of happiness.
The journey itself is sacred the process of learning to
(26:45):
love yourself, to trust the timing of your life, to
believe that things can get better. That is the real work,
and you are doing it even on the days when
it doesn't feel like it, Even when your progress is quiet.
You are enough. You are healing in your own time,
(27:07):
and you are going to be okay. Let this be
the voice you remember when things feel dark. Let this
be the whisper you carry when you feel alone. Let
this be the truth you speak to yourself over and
over again. I am safe, I am healing, I am
held by love. I am going to be okay. These
(27:29):
words are not just wishes. They are reminders of the
strength already inside you, and no matter what comes next,
that strength will carry you through. You are going to
be okay. You already are
