Validation Meditation
This exercise is a very special one. It's all about you and how you talk to yourself. This is a really good thing to do and to share so tell your family and friends about it too. We should all talk to ourselves about being special.
Let's sit quietly again. This time I want you to shake your head real fast and make a funny noise as you push out all the air that is inside of you.
Shake your arms out too. Now be still.
Give one last push through your mouth to get rid of all the air.
Close your eyes and calmly -- breathe. No matter what you are feeling at this moment, I want you to put a smile on your face. Keep it there while you think about your breathing, about relaxing and about keeping your eyes closed.
Choose to ignore any ideas that come to your mind about what has happened already today or what is going to happen later.
As those ideas try to come back to your thoughts just make up your mind to think about your breathing.
Gradually one thought will come to you. Let it have a place in your mind.
"I like myself".
Let that idea spread through your whole body. Feel it deep inside. You may sense a warm glow inside yourself. Feel it again.
"I like myself."
"I like myself."
Repeat these few words that came to your mind.
Tomorrow the sense that comes may be:
"I am happy"
or "I can learn my spelling words"
or I will try to be nice to my little sister"
or "I will stay calm when I feel upset"
or "I can be more confident".
Everyday take time to touch inside your own heart and soul to find the secret message you need to give to yourself. They're your feelings. They're real.
It's a gift you can give to yourself and you deserve it.
Love,
