Beating Yourself Up?

Stop beating myself up!

Cultivate kindness, and bring them to myself as well. One might have to love others much, but we are human beings who need love too. Care for ourselves, love one another.

Kindness

I need to be gentler with myself. Kinder. I feel shame for giving love too carelessly and opening my heart too fully when I should see the honesty and generosity in that ... giving of myself to someone in need is beautiful and unselfish. Their unkindness in return is not a reflection of my stupidity but of their own decision to deny their truth. I was the brave one.

Beating Yourself Up?

It’s important to remind yourself often that you are okay just the way you are and perfection is an impossible goal! Breathing in and out helps to relieve the tensions experienced in my mind and body that unrealistic goals create.🙏🏻

Let it go

Sometimes I let someone get inside my mind and then they just camp out there. I’m always struggling to get free of that person and the situation they’ve created for me. But, if I can free myself and let it go I can have the experience that I am meant to have. Mindful meditation helps along with breathing. I will remind myself throughout the day to stop beating myself up over someone else’s obsession with me.🙏🌻

Accepting mistakes

In life, there are things that we can’t achieve and its okay. Without these mistakes, you wouldn’t be the person who you are today. The specific words that you would want to hear from others, would not define you. YOU are the only one who would be able to define who you really are.

Mellow

I’ve learned that starting your day off with meditation, helps you throughout your day! You create thee atmosphere around you and today I create peace, light and love. namaste

😖Beating🙄Myself☹️Up☹️Hate😠This😌

🙂😊😉🙂Hello Everyone been Overwhelmed Stressed and on Over Drive. This Meditation was very helpful. But now I’m nervous freaking out. Keep trying to remember my breathing methods that I’ve learned due to my meditation. I’m at my Doctors office waiting to get yelled at. Was supposed to lose 10 pounds but instead I probably gained 10 pounds or more. I have no excuse. I don’t feel guilty. I haven’t had time to eat so I have a been over eating. I just want to support me to be over with and I don’t have to see him for another month. I hate This. I feel like a little kid waiting to go into the principals office scared annoyed irritated bothered 🤨😳😟🙄

"I love you. Everything is going to be okay."

The exacts words I needed to hear, and now I will move forward with my day with my mouth curled up in a half-smile, looking to treat myself and others with compassion.

Coming home to myself.

I love you, crooked heart, wicked mind..let’s work together. Your wants are my needs, we can make both parties happy, but we need unity. Everything is by design, so shifting away from negative energy can’t be that hard, and intuition can’t be too far, esp when two powerful forces are joined. Come home to me..Remember me?

You there

Feeling alone or feeling like love is not just what you want that your feelings are just like you

Self flagellation

It’s worth is in only what you learn from it. Let it go and move forward with a positive attitude - making a difference rather than dwelling on the negative. Love rather than hate. Easy said seldom done.

🙏🏼

It’s not my fault, I couldn’t have done anything to stop it

Just Listen

I have always tried to leave some specific comments about what I have learned but, in the case of this meditation, I can simply say, “Just listen.” It is beautiful. Thanks for this one.

Acceptance

I learned that, in certain circumstances, one can do what she thinks is right only to have the outcome turn out badly. I’m learning that forgiveness and compassion for self are key to self acceptance.

Take it easy

When you realize what you need from other people (kindness, affirmation, love), don’t forget to give yourself the same thing in return. Don’t forget to be kind to yourself. Don’t forget to love yourself. Because when you can do it for yourself, it’s easier to give it to others effortlessly and as we all know, what you give out into the universe will always come back to you full circle. ❤️

Healing

Sometimes a broken heart will lash out. It's ok. But don't let it define you. You can't always ride the toughest waves and expect to do it without getting battered. Love yourself for trying. It will be ok.

Beating yourself up

I loved the message of this meditation. The meditation helped me to pinpoint my stress and it’s reaction in my body. The positive self talk was great. I was able to let go of my anger and deal with my feelings that I am not appreciated. Now I am relaxed and can settle for bedtime.

Lesson on self

I need to allow myself patience and space to be open about frustrations.

Beating yourself up?

Some mornings getting up is hard...I feel lots of shame, anger, and sadness all clouding my judgment. I’m having trouble letting it go.

Self Love

In the end it’s normally you who hold yourself at the highest accountability. Sometimes this can magnify issues or things you have done in the past which you have come to doubt in whatever the current situation or circumstances of this self hurting. You have to understand you react and behave in manners which stem from lack of self love and awareness. You have to be open and understanding to your feelings as well as meet your own needs and wants so you don’t react in ways which aren’t true to your natural characteristics. because you aren’t making you really happy and feeling the love you might be giving and not receiving. Which causes more self doubt and other harmful emotions towards self because you begin to turn your inner being in the wrong direction.

Self-reassurance

Self-reassurance is something I can do and will strive to continue do and help myself take a minute to breathe, relax, know everything is okay and to go about living in the present

Ease up

It's important to be as accepting and forgiving towards ourselves as we are to others. We are often our own worst critic. Making mistakes, learning from them is part of the process of living. Whatever happens is all part of the plan.

Day 10

I learned that mistakes are good. I should make more. But I should change how my mind reacts to these mistakes. Instead of focusing on the negative and putting myself down for making mistakes, I should focus on what the mistake taught me and how I can grow from it. I can feel my confidence growing. And I like who the new me is becoming. But I’ll need to be patient and believe in myself.

Self kindness

I learned that my self kindness is a skin ll I can develop in taking care of myself. It felt good to tune into my body and where I hold my emotions. I had forgotten about that.

Reassurance

I loved the quote be comforted by your own presence ... so good 💗

Patience

I learned that it’s ok to not be 100% but to allow yourself to be so and show yourself kindness love and patience. Things will be ok.

My healing hands

My mind used to whip my body into tension, discomfort, and illness. I started the abhyanga massage method Deepak Choprah recommends in his books, and with this practice I used my hands to alleviate tension of neck, shoulders, back and belly. My tension is suppressed movement and repressed emotions. I will turn attention to my body, this delicate canary of the mine, my primary mode. Everything else will come next.

Beating yourself up

I like the intention of being there for yourself, like you would be for a loved one, to express unconditional love and the assurance that it’s going to be OK. Namaste

Imperfection is Inspiration

I learned that it is completely okay to make a difference and be a leader, even if we are imperfect and flawed, because all of us are flawed and all of us are worth it. ❤️❤️💕

Beating yourself up

To be kind to yourself, you have remember that you aren’t perfect, but you’re worth it. I used to beat myself up over the mistakes that others made. I felt like maybe if I wouldn’t reacted or done things differently, then they wouldn’t have hurt me. I am realizing that I am not responsible for others and how they treat me. Therefore I should not take on the burden of their disrespect.

Loving words

Thank you for this lovely meditation full of healing words and kindness. I am learning that when I'm not feeling well, I don't have to look externally. I can look internally and help myself feel better. These are the words and gestures I needed growing up and what I can use with my own children when they're in need of comfort and love. Thank you again.

Me me moi

I want to be kind to myself and focus on myself again. I have all I need to take care of myself I deserve better I don’t want drama

Self

I need to quit beating myself up so much. I need to stop letting these decisions I need to make weigh me down to the point of being in effective.

Being awear of ur struggles does help

Learning to accept what I'm struggling with definitely helps to overcome my struggles..

Meditation number one

For me to love others, I must love myself. How do I treat the ones I love? How do I treat myself? Do these line up? What would it be like if I actually did love myself, and treated myself with love?

Love yourself

I’ve come to realize that I don’t love myself as much as I should. The small whispers “I love you” and “Everything is going to be ok” left a smile stamped on my face the moment I spoke them aloud. I am now in a much better place emotionally, and mentally and will continue to practice self love moving forward.

Beating yourself up

People mistakes all the time and that’s totally okay! Without making mistakes in life we wouldn’t know any better, we wouldn’t learn from those mistakes. Many people regret when they make mistakes and they shouldn’t, it’s a learning process to help you become a better person and opens your eyes, telling you to change. Being perfectly imperfect is what everyone is and as a whole we all should except that.

Reassurance

I’m hardest on myself when it comes to something I’ve done wrong. The shame i feel has always been the hardest to move past...but things will get better if you Jaír forgive yourself

Enjoy every moment with being you

I learned that I need to spend more time with myself, to have more inner connection with learning who I am/ who I will be and how I can change myself to be a better person. I’ve always been distracted with my day and other little things, that I have no time to figure out who I am!! This helped to learn to have more inner connection with my body.. Thanks Aura😄

dripping rain, rooster crowing, l’m OK

Sunday morning pre-dawn darkness highway tires swoosh Dampness in the air the birds are still and silent wetness everywhere I am enough, no need to push I’ve done good work and will do more gathered treasures safe beneath the floor all glory is fleeting or so they say but the things that really matter they can never take away

I am beating myself up with the feeling of failure and shame

I am not perfect. I am human. I make mistakes. This is not a reflection of me. Mistakes are ways to learn and grow from . Now to get rid of the horrible feeling I have . Love myself

Kindness to myself

So grounding to begin my day with kind and loving words to myself

thiiiisss..

to be kind to yourself, that is okay not to be perfect, but you are worth it

Wisper

I learned that sometimes you have to tell yourself or remind yourself that everything is going to be okay, and just say to yourself.

Look in the mirror. It is beautiful.

Sometimes, the only person who doesn’t see your beauty is the face in the mirror looking back at you. Be kinder to yourself. Be gentle. Love yourself before loving others. How can you give what you don’t have?

Them

Maybe it’s not entirely my fault. Maybe it’s ok to be angry.

Letting my walls down

I feel like I made a mistake today, I've started to let my walls down around a group of people I really like. And I really want them to like me. I decided to let my guard down as joke around with a guy from this group. I was helping out the co-director by being on book. Close to the end of practice (after his being a "distraction" through all of practice) I, jokingly fake hit his shoulder with my script. He laughed too but I am beating myself up over the whole thing. Please someone help me! I've done such a good job putting away that critic, but I don't think I can do it alone this time.

Happiness through kindness

When you are kind to yourself you do not have to rely on other people to be kind in order to feel happiness.

Beating Myself up

I do this a lot. I don’t always notice it until I am really down. This was the perfect meditation to acknowledge what I do and try to fix it. Apologizing to myself and learning to relax.

Tough but necessary

I beat myself up about things,stress,carry that weight on me, but I also need to find better ways to also find solutions to my problems and more often.

Stress

I learned that everything I need is inside me, I just need to find it. But I think that’s life: finding ourselves and learning what are we capable of! Enjoy the journey;)) be more organised and take more time for yourself. If you find your way you automatically will find the way to the others☺️

It's okay

What I needed to hear today. It's okay. I won't be cured miraculously by this one practice and I won't learn self compassion in a moment but it's okay. I can let go little by little and gradually learn to love myself and in the mean time, it's okay.

Self Kindness

I learned that you need to be kind to yourself and try to love yourself. just be positive

2/26/18

Today was an incredibly long day for me and tomorrow will be another long day, but this meditation really helped to bring me back. I liked the concept of finding the sensation in your body that holds the stress, and then placing your hand on it. Having my hand in my shoulders and neck produced a warmth that was comforting. I also benefited from saying some words of comfort to myself

Beating yourself up

This is a good reminder of how important your inner positivity is to your well being. I could feel the tension in my shoulders as I thought about some of the things that were getting me down. This was a great Sense of awareness.

That although I’m not crying in sorrow doesn’t mean I don’t lo

Positive outlook are less stressful Overreaction cause stress to mourn is to cherish a person relationship in your own way. Healthier to express with love and good reactions

Acceptance

I learned that I should accept what ever I’m struggling with because someone always love me even if I don’t want to believe it. It’s okay to struggle with things...so I’m learning to accept it..

Acknowledging Feelings

This meditation really made me aware of some of the emotions I had been repressing. Thank you!

Byu

Felt relaxed, let go of some of the stress that’s been building up. Breathed, felt comfortable. Felt at peace.

I notice that...

I noticed that I need to learn to love myself and leg go of the bad thing and leg good things come because good comes out of bad.

Calming

While listening to this, I was truly calming down. As it continued I genuinely felt the stress and anxiety leave my body around the areas most tense.

If you can be anything, be kind

I dont have to wait for other people to come and make me happy, I can be kind to myself.

The Weight issue!

I want to lose weight so badly but don’t take into account the social aspect of my life. Time with the ones I love is important. I have to work around that more x

Meditate!

I feel so much better when I meditate and I can be the best mom and wife I want to be when I am mindful.

Beating yourself up

What a world. I judge myself the most. I’ve always been between 90-105 pounds for the last year, i live three provinces away from anyone who knows me. I’m in my mid 20s... why do I feel like I still haven’t found myself. I don’t think I’ll be complete until we move back home... it’s been four years away, with no leads to go back. I can’t be me without the people who made me.

Love

Nobody is going to believe or love me unless I do first 💝. Dear me, I love you 😘

I learned that

I carry a lot of stress in my neck and back and that I am very unkind to myself. This is something I need to work on.

Struggle

I learned I’m going to be ok. I also learned I like to be able to write something short if I want. I’m also willful

Reassurance

Its good to stop all the madness in your head for a second, take a deep breath, and say something positive to yourself, out loud. It makes all the difference.

Opened up the pain

Opened up the pain however didn’t adequately pride a tool, method or mechanism to deal with the pain... lots of talk about opening up and then “be kind to yourself” ??? The entire reason we are in pain is because we can’t be kind to ourselves in these situations in the first place. The ending of the session felt like a bit of a cop out out.

warmth

i noticed that my putting my hand on my heart makes me calm

Light

I felt a lightness about myself and a wave of peace wash over me.

I’ve noticed everyone one of my nights I’m sad, for multiple reasons.

I learned that just knowing it will be alright helps but if you are sad everyday (@me) then you can’t just act like an app will help your overcome everything. You need to figure out why this is happening and what’s causing and not just sit their and wait for it too go away.

Be kind to yourself

Notice what this part of you needs the most. Kindness, love, compassion, understanding. What’s so funny about peace love and understanding? I’m here. I love you. It’s going to be okay. Care for yourself deeply

Massive Project at Work is Due

I learned that I’m capable of doing this task and I no longer want it to intimidate me. Feeling the things that keep me stuck are great motivators. I am better than my inner critic leads me to believe. I love this meditation!!!

Self Kindness AKA Happiness

Been told I’m hard on myself, beat myself up. Until this meditation I truly did not FEEL what this meant. It feels self punishing over and over again, not forgiving myself of even the smallest insignificant imperfections. Blow then up in my head until they’re all consuming. My nervous stomach is actually anxiety stomach. I forgive others freely, I treat others as I want to be treated. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE MY OWN SELF FREELY. TODAY I WILL TREAT MYSELF AS I TREAT OTHERS!!! Unconditionally.

Self love and kindness

I learned that to deal with the problems in my relationships, I need to learn to love myself and be kind to myself, because I am always going to be here for me.

Self love and growth

After a recent breakup I’ve been beating myself up because I wasn’t able to give the love I wanted too, nor be true to myself. I love this woman, but I’ve discovered that in order to love another I need to first love myself and know myself.

Dealing with trauma and guilt.

All of my life my dad and I have had a rocky relationship. He was verbally abusing my whole life and never owned up to it like I deserved it like he was doing nothing wrong. Although he's done terrible stuff and put me in numerous terrible situations I still love him because he is my father. My parents are divorced. My dad is supposed to pay child support which he has failed to do for the last 7 months because of work being slow and he has sold almost everything valuable that he owns to try to send us some money but it's never enough. He lost his house and is now homeless and my family thinks he's on drugs and it just hurts my heart to see him struggle even though he's done so many things bad to me. I always get scared that if I say the wrong thing or be too mean that he will try to commit suicide because he has mentioned it before. I can't help but feel like if he didn't have me to worry about then his life wouldn't have been as bad but at the same time I wish I could go back to the better days and replay the moments over and over again when we used to laugh and play together.

Coping

i was recently affected by a school shooting next to my middle school in parkland florida. i lost a few friends that day. since then i have had trouble sleeping. this calms me down before bed, teaching me that things will get better one day at a time. sleep is important and this helps me learn to become sleepier in order to have a good day ahead of me.

We are important

Like she said we need to find ways to find peace in ourselves. A lot of times that starts with forgiveness. Forgive ourselves and others.

Kindness

Being kind to yourself is key 🔑. Kindness isn’t kind ness unless you can be kind to yourself first and foremost. I have Judy learned this in my life and I am 25 years young but an optimist at heart ♥️. I hope 🤞🏼 to take this meditation 🧘‍♀️ and transfer and apply it into my daily living. SCD.

4-16-18

Didn't catch her name -- at first I thought, now I'm feeling okay, why was this chosen when it is about berating yourself and such? Well, once I relaxed and focused, I rather enjoyed this meditation for the simple reason that I didn't realize I was actually feeling this way until she said the words! So... it was perfect for me at the moment. Namaste

I need to keep this one on rotation

That loving kindness and acceptance is so crucial. The self talk helped.

Much more self appreciative!

I learned to address what I beat myself up over most and relinquish the feeling of not being good enough

Forgiveness

I need to start being more forgiving to myself. Let me be more like the image of God.

Returning to center /being good to me

This was a very helpful meditation. Dealing with crippling anxiety /depression and pmdd really clouds my judgment, and I've been super negative and mean lately. Hoping to remember this moment and this meditation for bad/scary moments

Beating my self up

I learned how to talk to myself and give love to myself as if I were to someone else in my situation. Its ok to tell your self “ I love you, things are going to be ok” and take the time I need for myself to heal.

Beating myself up

I learned that sometimes we all need to tell our selfs that we love our selfs and that we are going to be okay.We need to reassure ourselves from time to time and forgive our selfs for some mistakes we make.This lady helped me with some of that I realized that I need to forgive myself and others.

Forgiving & Cheering...

Good idea - forgiving myself for what I have not done (yet) or for something I should not have done. GREAT idea - Cheering myself on for what I have done (already) or for what I was able to avoid doing. Waiting for someone else to do this for us is risky because they maybe never will. But learning to do this for ourselves is a wise thing to do often! ❤️☮️🍀

Before a nap

I was feeling fat and stressed about my final tomorrow. I’m worried and beating myself up. It was such a perfect one to do

Beating yourself

I learned that no matter the situation to give yourself loving thoughts like i love you, you are fine. Everything will be fine. Things will workout as they should

Self love

I learned the value of checking in with myself to acknowledge my true feelings and align with them

Beating myself up

I noticed that if I put my hand on the place where I feel tension or anxiety, said what my body needs to hear (I love you, it’s going to be ok) then I can alleviate some of the stress. I’ve been stressed about final projects in class & I’ve had anxiety in the pit of my stomach, but it slowly went a way during this meditation practice. Self-compassion is something we should all practice regularly.

Amazing

I felt how the stress just wasn’t there anymore and was amazed by how gently this meditation helped me remove those feelings.

Beating myself up

Not a very good session. Could not focus. Was on the cat, traveling.

I’m ok. I believe in you.

Grades came in and i beat myself up with it. I had trials these past months and it affected me tremendously. I’m trying to get back up. But it’s like the harder I work, the harder the work gets. I was at a point of giving up and telling myself that I wasn’t strong enough. But then I got this feeling telling me that I need to calm down and that I’m overreacting so I decided to mediate. It helped to give me hope. And i hope that i can keep going and not give up.

Self conscious

Reassurance is a lot for me. I constantly feel the need to have reassurance from others when I’m down on myself but maybe the only person i need reassurance from is myself. Maybe i need to lose the self consciousness and find beauty in myself.

You

You are what you are looking for. The only way you’re going to release yourself off of this heaviness you’re experiencing is only if you love yourself. Rely on others and you’ll experience many disappointments in your lifetime. You are the answer.

Relax

Sometimes I just have to take time for me, to reflect on myself and how I truly feel about myself. When it was all said and done I could feel the tension I had been carrying and was able to let some of that go and just relax into the moment!

Self love

I need to learn to stop beating myself up over things I can't control in life

There's no need to beat myself up

I found this really helpful and I learned that there's no point in beating myself up about school and my upcoming exams, I'm under enough pressure as it is and beating myself up will just make it worse. When I tell myself I'm not doing enough work, from now on I'm going to stop myself and say may be I'm expecting to much from myself and giving myself too much.

Beating yourself up?

It’s what I’m good at. I was recently asked, “Why are you so mean to yourself?” That has really struck me. I don’t know why. I’ve been trying to figure it out.

Self pity & complaints

To do everything without complaining and arguing to be thanKFul towards Jesus in all circumstances and even if I stumble I get back up look straight ahead what path Jesus has put for me refuse to let the world corrupt me. Walk by faith LOVE AND WISDOM

Coming back to me

Focusing on taking care of myself, identifying that fear and letting it go, feel my body less tense reminding myself I am good enough and that I care about myself I love myself and I can be kind to myself. Feeling strength inside of my heart and smiling at the memories of who I am and what I have created.

Taking care of myself

I learned that I should take care of myself and that it’s ok to feel sad.

Kindness

Be the individual in which you seek others to bestow onto yourself.

I felt very comforted when I could provide the safety I needed to myself.

I am my greatest ally, advocate, and friend. It I learned that all I need is always within myself.

Beautiful

Coming home to ourselves is what we need more of. Great session.

Love for yourself

I learned that you need to be able to be there for yourself as much as others. You deserve to hear from yourself that it’ll be okay and that you’re loved and you’re deserving.

I feel hopeful. Less broken. Happy

I learned that meditation is really nice and relaxing. My mind was racing at first but I quickly got into it and was able to tune everything out.

Speaking kindly

I enjoyed this one. I know I need to say nicer things to myself. I did. This forced me to.

Forgiveness

It’s harder for me to forgive myself than it is for me to forgive others. I have to recognize that I did the best I could in those moments with the tools I had. I’m better now; more focused and calm, stronger, more positive and centered. If it’s meant to be, it will be. And now I have what it takes to handle it better next time.

Loosing a friend

I learned that loosing a friend is a big deal In my life because I lost the most important friendship in my life and that’s what I’m afraid of I always have a fear of losing friendships and doing this meditation means that fixing a friendship is important in my life

Show kindness

I liked this 3 minutes meditation session. This meditation made me be aware of the way I was feeling. Made me feel that it's okay to feel sad anger and other emotions. It also made me think of showing more kindness and love to my own body and self.

I felt relaxed and separated away from the world.

I learned that focusing on your breathing with you eyes closed can help tremendously with focusing on her voice.

safe

calmness surrounded me and i felt very much at ease, i felt as if i was the embodiment of serenity.

I felt understood.

I learned that I must be the one to give myself what I need to hear because if I wait to hear it from others it might be a long time.

Thoughtful Tuesday 6-19-18

Wishing well on oneself. Hmm! This is so hard for me because my summer trip with my Mom and Dad has come to an end and I go home in a few days. I have been so emotional about it. I mean I want to go home(I FaceTime my fur babies and roommate every nite) but I just had such a good time with my parents and then yesterday, my my trips and falls in public and hurts herself and no one takes care of her. They all stand around. I was so mad. So, I’m am having bittersweet feelings about leaving and when I think about it I get choked up. I try to stay busy to manage my time and emotional being. That’s the best I can do. Than you, Aura! Have a nice day, Everyone!😀

Stress

I learned that this meditation can’t help with the stress I’ve been going through. The things I’ve been through at work have got me feeling terrible about myself and my neck is very stiff.

Beating my self up

I learned that this meditation didn’t help me at all. Do not recommend it. I feel worse than I did before.

Self kindness

This mediation really helped me realize that I need to love myself more and not be so hard on myself all the time.

understood

this meditation really realised what i was going through and what to do to try and prevent more of it happening. understood my feelings as well😌

Releasing fear

This little meditation somehow unlocked whatever it was that was bothering me on a very deep level. The release brought calm.

Self Love

Putting your hand over the place that is aching and whispering "it's gonna be okay" is something I needed to do

Kindness

I'm not sure why it's so much easier to love, be kind, and forgive others but ridiculously hard to do for myself.... One day and one step at a time...

Why every one don’t understand me

All my life My family & friends & my staff Really don’t understand me I really feel really bad I keep beating my self wondering why no one don’t understand me When I write my journal writing how I feel about my self my journal understand me

Beating Yourself Up

I realized that I have been continuing to beat myself up internally. It is very hard for me to validate my childrens’ feelings without doing this to myself. I know my intentions and that I have been doing the best I can with what I know at the time and in light of the situation. This exercise may be helpful to go back to whenever I catch myself beating myself up again.

My desires

Before I can have closure with this person I need to get a beginning but he has someone else. I don’t know what to do, I really need help

Peace

I felt so much better about everything after this and so much happier I was surprised by how much this has helped

Stress

I still feel stressed and anxious but this was was helpful. Perhaps it just wasn’t the right meditation for my current feelings.

this made me feel better

you can’t always beat your self up for what you can’t help it’s good to know that you can be here for your self

I’m feeling alright

I’m feeling alright now. I can honestly say that meditating has helped me be more in tune with myself n the ppl around me and I’m happy about that 😁 goodnight world

i noticed i felt a little nore relaxed.

taking a few deep breaths really helps calm me down and make me feel a bit more relaxed

Never say never

After hearing this tale, I felt that no milestone is not reachable. If you have the will, just like that of an elephant then, as they say the sky is the limit.

Anxiety

I felt a little anxious before taking the meditation but I felt more at peace with myself adterwards

Relationships

Relationships can be difficult. I find myself asking is it really me? I am trying and giving effort, but I don’t feel there is any from the other side. This generates most of my stress.

I'm going to be okay.

I've noticed that it's easy to let people get to me and so I need to practice more self love. "I'm here, I'm okay, and I love you".

yo

i feel good with life and how it is. my personal feelings are all over the place though and that’s okay. gotta stay positive and happy.

Relationships...

As a guy perspective losing a 2 year relationship and knowing inside why we broke up and knowing it's for the best I just can't help but cry... I'm trying my best to keep my life ahead of me but it's harder especially since me and her go to the same college. I just need someone to talk to is all.. but no one is there when I need them.

Heartbreak

My boyfriend broke up with me and i naturally started blaming myself. This meditation helped me release some of these negative feelings.

Inconvenience

The only times I feel worthless is when my mother yells at me because I’m always inconvenient for her, her time out partying is very much more important than her children but I have learned to pick my self up from this and show that I’m much more than she makes me feel to be and she is not worth the sorrow.

depression

depression is a very dangerous and scary position to be in. you can do/day things that you wish and don’t want to do, but you do it to make yourself feel better

Anger

I discovered that I did not have to push others away as a defense mechanism, and that buikding them up instead can make us both happier.

What I needed the most

I learned that I don’t need a man to tell me he’s here for me everyday when I have myself. I’m gonna start learning to love myself and putting myself first and not let people run over me. I feel so much better now because I know that everything’s going to be okay.

That was what I needed

After a breakup I was feeling so angry, sad, lonely and upset. Because he was THE MAN. I needed this aooo bad. I have to appreciate myself more. I have to love myself more. And day by day everything will be better. Less tears day by day

Grief

Since beginning the aura meditations I don’t beat myself up as much. This is the first meditation that popped up this morning so I listened to it. What came up for me is grief and fear. The inability to visualize good things for myself is another way of beating myself up. In Northern California we are all being tested right now by these fires and we are all frightened and sad. I am fearful that I will have trouble getting out if a fire hits our community because they move so fast and I am disabled. Running from a wall of fire that is moving the equivalent of a football field in a second is not something I can do. I am grief stricken for all the people who have died and For those who are missing and for all those who have lost their homes and loved ones, for all the lost pets and animals, etc. And the president’s cruel tweets make me cry. But letting my grief overcome me and dwelling on the fires is unhealthy. This meditation helped me process this and I feel better.

Feel good

It’s normal for us to beat ourselves up with negatives thoughts and expectations. This meditation allows us to take a step back and accept whatever things we have done and love ourselves no matter what. Remember the subconscious mind is powerful and only you can fight it.

Me.

I learned that I am my worst critic and although I learn from my own mistakes I am me and this is who I am becoming.

ehm

i realized that i overreact in some situacions, but all and all, it is my true reaction and i shouldnt be mad about that. afterall, i have the right to feel a certain way. eventhough this "speech" didn't clear the situation i was in, it motivated me to accept myself the way i am

11/16

Everyone’s personal struggles are their own, but everyone needs to feel the deep connection with the area of struggle so they can fully come home go their selves.

Be kind to yourself

It’s such an important reminder to be kind to yourself. Most of us are our own worst critics. What would you say to a loved one or friend if they felt so critical about themselves? Be kind to yourself. Do your best - nobody can expect any more of you. Be kind to yourself.

sleep

sleep is really important and that i want to make more time for it.

Beating yourself up?

Self care and your life and happiness should be put first. Self discovery and the most important journey.

Self-care

I felt like this meditation asked me to be kind towards myself.

loving yourself

I have learnt taking sometime out of the day to connect to yourself, refocus on the importance of loving yourself.

Don’t beat myself up

I learned that I don’t need to beat myself up. If I’m stressed I need to just take some time to get over my hard time.

Be kind to myself throughout my day no matter what happens

Beating myself up will get me nowhere and taking some time to bring myself kindreds is really good

be kind

i have been super stressed recently and this mediation reminded me that i need to be kinder to myself and understand when and how to let go of feelings of doubt. i needed this tonight and now i feel like i can sleep much more easily.

Help Yourself

Sometimes no one else is going to be able to comfort me or tell me what I need to hear. That’s when I need to tell myself: “You are going to figure this out.” Or “It’s not always going to be like this.”

Life?

I’ve just been feeling really insecure about myself and I always compare myself to other females! And I hate it! I never been in love and I feel it’s because I’m ugly and I just been contemplating on life but ughh idk

Work in Progress

I have a lifetime of expertise in beating myself up and will need to revisit this meditation several more times. I look forward to the day I can truly connect with this message.

better

I felt better after this meditation. it really helped me let go

Uh-oh

I can be at peace with this feeling in the pit of my stomach, waiting to find out later today if I really owe this money or if it will become a non-issue, or something in between. And realizing that, perversely, I’ll be terribly disappointed if I don’t owe at least some of it. Sounds weird, I know, it’s a long story so pls just take my word for it! 🙂

sadness go away, come again another day

it’s okay to be sad but making an effort to be sad isn’t. you have to allow yourself to be happy before you experience true happiness

Relived

Breaks are well needed when stressed, just breathe and bring yourself back down to reality

I felt pretty good

I learned that self worth and talking to your innerself can change the perspective of the situation I have been tearing my self up about!

Locating the pain

When I feel disappointment in myself to stop and find area of anxiety and heal that area.

self love

it’s like she personally knew me. i realized that i need to find happiness within myself and not others. i also need to stop taking on others peoples burdens because it’s weighing me down.

It’s OK

I am hardest on myself and my heroes, expecting a highly unlikely perfection, but the sum of the whole is truly greater than its parts. Namaste.

Self love

I learned that self love would teach me how to love others ✌🏽 namaste

03.13 2019/01h36

I blame myself for a lot of things, even though they are clearly not my fault. Sounds stupid, I know. But it's difficult for me to get rid of this shame and guilt I feel sometimes. I believe that this guilt and shame are byproducts of my string of failures at relationships, my job, or life in general. Sometimes I don't know what to say or do to make things better.

Tension

I feel the weight of things I can’t control I need not worry and stay positive Take care of the things that are in my control And the wisdom to know the difference.

Better

I learned how to not think about my flaws and failures, and i want to make things better in my life.

healing

it really helped me reflect on how negatively i react after i experience things that i feel are my fault

Beating myself up.

Today is my birthday. Birthdays are hard for me. My boyfriend of three months spent the entire day with me. I started to feel this feeling in my stomach and heart, kind of like a knot. I notice I as feeling sick through out the day. Whenever I thought about him and how kind he was the feeling got worse. I could feel myself separating from him and reality. Most of today is a blur. I was spacing out at some of the most important moments. I realized today, I’m afraid. I’m afraid of being hurt. I’m afraid of being hurt because I’m listening too much to my head and not enough to my heart. Today I learned that if I don’t start listening to my heart, I may very well miss my life.

Recovery

Trying cope with a broken heart is hard to do I knew it was coming but it something that I can’t avoid and it’s my fault that’s it happen not having people who you really talk to but your self is difficult to do each day becomes more painful

Happiness and sadness

I’m struggling with opposite emotions; this meditation helped me to say to myself that is ok. Sometimes, is ok to feel this way. Some actions you make or moments of your like may cause this kind of confusion, but it’s ok. I’m going to be ok.

Sadness and happiness

I’m struggling with missing someone at the moment. I hadn’t missed someone for awhile and got used to it.

April 5th

I just don’t feel done yet. I don’t feel that this helped me, maybe a liger session of just maybe more of it will do me good.

Anxiety

I just broke up with someone who I was with for a long time. I’m having trouble letting go and moving on. The thought of her without me gives me anxiety. This session only made me more anxious.

Friends

I learned that I’m the one stressing over things that don’t exist, like thinking that my friends don’t like me when I’m the one making up the problems in my head, or even thinking into thinks way to much

I blame myself for everything

I blame myself for things I can’t control and can control. Things I have nothing to do with and things that never involved me. I apologize for whenever someone is having a bad day. When someone gives me advice and I don’t take that advice I fell like I let that person down. And all the while I don’t ever think about what is best for me. My happiness has always come second in my life as I will always put those i love first. And I’m unsure if this makes a bad person or if I’m doing the right thing.

Thoughts

I noticed that I let myself get caught up in my thoughts about something that I blame myself for, and find it hard to pull myself out of those thoughts. I also learned that I blame myself for things that have happened that are out of my control, that I cannot change after they have happened.

It’s going to be OK

This session mad me run off to listen to my favorite support song...the last line of the narration is the title of this awesome track! This song and its message has been my stalwart uplifting track since my stroke. Things with my Social Security disability are FAR more complex than I ever imagined! Tomorrow I have a morning appointment at my local SS office to go over things once again! Thankful that my lawyer plans to further appeal my case to try and secure a better settlement with ongoing benefits which better fit my new station in life as a disabled survivor! https://youtu.be/5pBjopDymts

I’m lost

I learned that I’ve been lost not knowing that I need to relax and chill per say. I need to now my own thoughts and learn to remember and respect myself.

Charlie and Olyvia

there’s no point in beating myself up abt this bc it’s not too much of my fault

Feels

So many feelings at once. This really calmed me down and helped me with my struggles.

Thanks

I learned that you need to be truly happy and love yourself in order to receive love and happiness. That way you recognise when someone is showing you love or trying to make you happy.

Better 😄

I feel so much better after taking some deep breaths and letting go of the heaviness in my heart.

relief

after listening to this I was able to relieve a lot of tension that I didn’t even know was still there. I had dealt with a very stressful situation about a week ago and there was still some remaining tension and now it’s all gone and I couldn’t be more thankful :)

Beating myself up no more pt1

I learned that, the problems I have are small, they can be mended and fixed, on the other hand the problems others are experiencing are worse than me and i know that i can and will always continue to move forward no matter what!

First

I learned to take a moment and breathe. It’s going to be ok. Calm myself.

𝚋𝚎𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚖𝚢𝚜𝚎𝚕𝚏🏜

i need to be there for myself and tell myself it’s gonna be ok.

I’ve been beating myself up for the way my relationship ended.

That I need to forgive myself and let it go. The relationship added more anxiety and stress into my life so I freaked out and ran from him. I’ve been beating myself up ever since. This session has helped. I saved it to refer back to for future reference.

self

i learned that i cpuld love myself the way i do other people. i have to, otherwise i won't be giving genuine love if i don't know how to love me

Today’s journal

As I was about to listen to the audio I was feeling a bit down today, I felt so alone today and isolated, anxious. All of that, I really enjoy audio I can have a connection too since I deal with severe anxiety. Thank you for your help! 😊

Kindness

Always be kind to yourself. 💕 You are worthy of your own love & support.

Emotional, but powerful

This one was difficult for me, which is exactly why I needed it. When they said "bring to mind what has been hard for you" I had a flood of thoughts of all the things I have been struggling with, and started crying in the middle of the meditation. However, the remainder of the meditation helped start the process of coming to terms with all that has happened instead of internalizing the pain (which is what I have been doing). Disclaimer - I had to do this meditation a couple times cause of tears whoops

04/06/19

I noticed the amount of stress and tension in my skull. I learned to treat myself more compassionately when going through struggles.

I felt calmer and better about things like the health problem

I learned that I can calm myself by doing meditations like this

It's okay

I tend to be very task-driven. For me, I beat myself up for all the unchecked boxes on my to-do list in my mind. This is a helpful reminder to be kinder to myself about the existence of those unfinished tasks or goals.

This is the new direction I have been seeking.

I am a bit of a slow learner. I am learning from these session, which has been kicking around in my head for years, my approach to viewing life is from the way I was raised. Toxic. And, I knew being heavily medicated and chemically lobotomized was a path I did not want to travel but did because I was taught, as many of us, “doctors” were on pedestals and to trust them. I did. I am so thankful for Aura guiding me in a positive direction.

Very soothing

I love u too

When you said that you loved me it really did fell like you loved me and, that completed my day and helped me get out of my depression, so thank you for that very much.

Emotional

It made my cry because I related so much. I really took the time to listen to that one and it touched me. When she spoke she brought me hope bc I have been going through things lately and I just need to hear those last few sentences from someone

I really do shame myself

I am so tough on myself that I don’t realize it! For instance, even though I will brush off the “victim mentality” as much as possible, and for obvious reasons...I do tend to beat myself up on things that I know I couldn’t control, or did the best I could! It may seem like second nature to most, like myself, to just push through the daily “unauthorized hazards” Life throws in the way and to just “suck it up & deal for now” isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I still shouldn’t shame myself for learning to mindfully assess and engage positively upon, whatever shameful feelings or thoughts creep in.

I learned that even though I give people care and happiness, I should also take time to give that care and happiness to myself.

Mindful

I felt sad but then peaceful. Sat for a few minutes and let the tension slip away

Nothing

I love you myself

I felt a wavy heart and sadness but this meditation learned me to be kind with myself and how to make myself feel good too.

To be kind to myself. Trust I. The decisions I have made now because they felt like the right decision then.

OH MY GOD!!!

“I AM HERE!” “I LOVE YOU!” “EVERYTHING’S GOING TO BE OK!” When I thought no of myself, I am more inclined to this song: “I don’t know how to love him (me)? What to do...how to move. I’ve been changed; yes, really changed. In these past few (years) when I’ve seen myself, I seem like someone else.” I am crying!!! 🙏❤️😭😭😭

Let something go....

To be kinder to myself.

How to relax

I learned that I need to love myself and accept the things I cannot change. I want them to change so very much but I have to let go and let whatever happens to happen and know that I did my best.

That’s it’s ok to make mistakes but continue to love yourself

I am here and I am listening.

I feel happier after even one session. I just tried this app for the first time.

I think this app is going to help me a lot with my stress and sadness

I learned that

I made a mistake but it’s going to be ok, I should love myself and not put myself down.

How to allow feelings to happen as they arise

Beating myself up

I noticed when I beat myself up I worry about it I get frustrated @ work like throwing out the trash or like I do something wrong I get mad 😠 or frustrated sometimes I ask for help don’t get me wrong some people expect you to do yourself which I try my best.

Distracted

If I’m being completely honest, during his whole mediation I was distracted and caught up in my thoughts. As soon as I got back to focusing again, I realised how easily your mind can go from one thing to another without even realising it.

My hidden pain

I learned today that I could hear the voice of my pain which I kept hidden so deep within that it was screaming for within as I became so used to just taking pain and locking it up inside of me and just beating myself up about it

This meditation is exactly what I need

For the longest time I’ve felt this pit in my heart. I needed reassurance, I felt codependent on others and stressed with life. This kind of helped me connect with myself and realize... I don’t need anyone else. I need to take care of myself and learn to love me. And from now on, I’m gonna work towards that.

Kindness, reassurance, and love ❤️

I learned that I needed kindness, reassurance, and love in my life right now. I didn’t know I needed it till now and I need it from not only other people but from myself too. I realized I had a lot on my plate and organized my three main problems in my life right now. My relationship with this boy, my relationship with my friend, and my relationship with my mom. I need kindness from my friend, reassurance from that boy, and love from my mom. I feel very alone in this point of my life but I know that my happiness starts from within me.

beating yourself up

to try to keep front and center to be mindful of my surroundings. the affect on myself and others.

I learned that I react badly to stress by worrying and overreacting.

I learned that relaxing the places of tension due to stress can help relieve the stress that caused the tension.

Socializing

I feel almost as if I’m not human at times because of how difficult it is for me to socialize. I have a deep yearning for connection with others but i can’t seem to get it right even if i do it at all. This meditation allows me to be less harsh on myself when in these situations

Thank you.

I didn’t have a great day today. I am finally realizing why I feel like this a lot. I care to much about people’s opinions and only do things for acceptance even though those things don’t make me happy. I am trying to become more confident and happy with myself and also trying to gain positivity towards other people. I would like to be more peaceful and joyful with myself and people surrounding me. Taking a few a deep breaths and letting everything out helped me a lot tonight.

Beating Yourself Up?

You need to not keep all the anger or sadness in. That’ll only make you fell that way longer. Don’t beat yourself up on stuff that happened. Just make sure if you get in the situation again change the outcome.

Being kind to yourself

It felt good to focus on being kind to myself, which is often a struggle.

I’m in stress

Yea it’s amazing therapy 😍❤️ I have learned how to be happy with my ownself

Everyday it gets worse

Everyday it gets closer the anniversary of my dogs death I don’t know how I’m gonna get through this.

I feel guilty and horrible for how I treated my dad

My dad is now dead as of a month ago and I feel like a part of me died and the only thing left is anger towards myself I was the last to hold his hand and I feel like i should have been more loving while he was alive. I’m just trying to forgive myself since he’s not here to forgive me and now I regret it so much.

Broken soul

It’s been two weeks now my girlfriend left me all because she dint see a future with me,making me feel like a joke and worthless,she’s the only girl I’ve truly learn to love,she was my everything,my world,my reason to live n die Now I feel very empty,sad and lonely And now she barely reply my texts, take my calls,don’t wanna see me anymore

My mom’s situation.

I can’t control the situation. Take one day at a time. She will get better and the bills will get paid.

learning about yourself

2019 was a year that i’ve learned all about myself and my identity. it’s hard to control the bad thoughts that are being put into your head by society’s expectations of who you “have” to be. i really struggled and had never felt comfortable in my own skin until now. now, i understand myself. and sometimes it’s still hard for me and i get caught up again, but this mediation really assured me. my heart is where i carry most of my burdens, and the lady in the video instructed to give yourself what you wanted to hear the most from others. my heart wants to be loved. and so i whispered to myself “i love you”. i can’t describe how it felt, but i felt so full again. it’s amazing how much i’ve grown and learned about myself. i heard what i needed to hear for so long. i needed to love myself. and i can’t proudly say now, that i do. i love me. :)

Trying

It’s never easy to feel valuable or loved when others don’t make you feel that way; but we need to understand that our own self worth isn’t based on what others think, say or even do. Happiness comes from within ourselves, and it’s not correlated to how others make us feel. We tend to be harsh to ourselves. I sometimes catch myself saying “I’m so dumb”, but I have accomplished so much, so I must be doing something right! Practice talking to yourself or writing on a notepad good qualities of the person that you are. Feed yourself with kindness.

I’ve been hard on myself...

I’ve been hard on myself for many years since I grew up. Then I realized it’s only me who can stand by myself from the beginning till the end of my journey. I promise I will be more kind to myself, so that I can enjoy this long journey of my life.

Broken

I’m finally figuring myself out , I’m broken I’m in pain and deep down I’m scared to let anyone in because of being hurt again .

😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE THIS 🦋❤️💖💗🌸 this is the best way to relax and relieve stress and this is the way you notice you did something wrong

Cheering...

I learned that the only way to make sure you get told you are doing ok is to tell yourself that you are. Since I always believe myself, I need to become my biggest cheerleader of all the Good I am doing. It may be easy to find something wrong and beat myself up over it but that is only going to make things worse. Instead I should tell myself something like “Although I did this thing wrong, I still believe in you and love you... you are wonderful!” We must become our own biggest cheerleaders! Look for the good in what we do, praise the good and go about doing more of it. It helps us get in a positive upward spiral! ❤️🗣🍀

Stay true to yourself

I learned that everything will be ok if u let everything go

Beating yourself up

We all do this more often than not. It’s hard not to. But sometimes we have to think, it isn’t our fault.

I learnt that

I need some patience with my self .. I realised how much I need to love and have patience with myself.

I learned

Home is where I am. To “return home to myself...” This was a shockingly radical concept in the moment: that home is within, not something I have constructed. This simple revelation during a time of absolute upheaval in my home is the reminder I need to remember I will always walk with my True home. 🙏🏻

What I learned

I learned that I could not be so hard on my self and my Soul.

Lighter

I felt relaxed,rejuvenated and lighter. It was like a detox and cleanse for my mind.

I learned that

I am my true fortress. Coming home to yourself means treating your own self with safety, care, and love. I need to add "I love you, everything is going to be okay" as a daily routine to tell myself.

Love

I need to love myself in order to put love into others. It’s a work in progress but once I feel okay with myself then I will be able to be the person that I need to be for my family.

Please read.

Everyone shouldn’t beat themselves up because it will only cause them to feel worse. Think about how one second of your life is way more important to call it a bad day. Move on and forget the mistakes. Earn positivity and lose the negativity.

Beating Yourself Up

What a wonderful reminder to speak to yourself as you would speak to someone else. I would never say the things that I say about myself to myself to someone else... Why do I deserve to be talked to like that?

Positive

I felt at peace✨/calm and relaxed/also positive learning how to be positive

Positive

I learned that being positive helps with anxiety and frustration its good to relax and breath

nt

I felt that my problems were not too complex and I could solve it

Lesson

Every lesson is a Blessing. Learn from your mistakes and stay blessed.

Beating yourself up

I know that I give my all and when I lose my patience it doesn’t mean I am a bad mom or wife.... sometimes it’s just being human ... recognize it, learn from it and move on.

Beating myself up

I’ve noticed that I’ve been blaming myself for all of my mom’s and dad’s stress. When they get home from work, tired and stressed, I try to be as perfect as I can, just to make mine and my brothers life easier. My brother being 5 years old is expected to make a mistake. Me being 13 am expected to be more responsible and mature than my brother. I have ADHD and sometimes don’t think about my actions beforehand, so when I make a mistake, my parents are already at the boiling point and just explode on me. I don’t get emotional very quickly, I hold it in and when I’m at my tipi for point, my world comes crashing down. Recently this happened and I’ve been depressed. Aura has really helped with my depression. This story I think I can say, pulled me out of my depression hole. There are thing I still need to fix, emotions I need to wash off, and bridges I need to rebuild, but overall I feel free again! Thank you to the Aura community for being sooo positive! Have a good rest of your day or night!

The fixer

I've realized I'm only responsible for my own wellbeing. I'm not the fixer and that's okay.

Making mistakes

Making mistakes is a part of life. I’m focusing on dwelling on the what could beens and learn from the lesson. I can not fix someone who does not want to put effort into themselves and the relationship.

Totally needed this

This meditation presented itself exactly when I needed it. Definitely saving to favorites 🧘🏼‍♀️

Kindness

I feel good about myself and I learnt taking time for ourselves is not wrong

I feel like i should give myself a break.

Its not wrong to care for myself, and not wait for others to care for me.

Relieved

I blamed myself for what happened I blame my best friend for lying to me and not telling me the truth I just blame both of them

Tiref

I accused my partner wrongly and she blocked me everywhere but it seems like she has moved o. I thought I had but I'm still hurting. I don't want to drink. Just want to be happy

Feeling good now

Its really awesome I am planning to take premium 😄😄😄😄 It shows it is short But I can't explain in words

I feel calm

Every time I’m always worried why I’m unheard or unseen in my relationship always wondering will I ever have a voice but now I believe I need to stop beating myself up and actually love myself and upgrade myself to the level where she will be forced to stay around and see what’s infront of her instead of staying worried always progress on me and stay being me I need to love me before anyone can love me I need to be the best of me before anyone can see the best in me and be proud of me

Whole again.

I’m not perfect. Hating myself because of what others thought about me. Finally being able to see some light of peace in my mind and thoughts.

Feeling better about myself

I learned that I can give myself happiness more than anyone else can in my life.

Self Love

I can be kind to myself and be proud of the good I’ve done and how far I’ve came from where I once was

Happiness Insight

I can love Myself and not have to feel shame or doubt for things I didn’t have control over

stressed

i have been hard on myself and this helped me with telling myself that things are okay and that what i am going through is hard but i am doing the best i can

Let go and let god

I was feeling kind of bad about missing a work meeting and was beating myself up about it then I saw this banner pop up about beating yourself up. This tea helped me to let go of things a bit easier

Helpful

I learned that taking a moment to myself is very helpful for me right now. I am always blaming myself for other people mistakes for hurting me. I realize now it's not my fault. I have made my own mistakes and I'm learning from them.

Realization

I’ve been too hard on myself and not taking care of my body. It’s the same as breaking something of my own because I’m mad at someone else. It won’t help my situation to be hard on myself it will just take up a lot of energy

Acknowledgment

I’ve always been aware that I am hard of myself. I’ve always told myself that this is a good thing; that this is the way that I get the most out of myself. In some measures that may be true, but in others, I’ve seen it be disruptive and detrimental to the way I view myself. This meditation helps me to realize that I am a worthy person. Despite my flaws and the wrong that I’ve done, that at my core, I’m a person worthy of love and acceptance and not just ridicule/admonishment for my failures, perceived or otherwise.

My emotions

I feel my child’s sadness as my own and it’s difficult to not stress about it.

Anxiety

I have been very anxious the last few days, and have really struggled to regulate my emotions and have not been able to be kind to myself, and automatically think / worry outwards and wonder if people hate me or they think less of me. This meditation has helped me to come back to myself and remember I am a person worthy of everything good and the way I view myself is more important than what anyone else thinks of me. Thank you :)

I have felt run off my feet not eating properly and can feel some slight depression coming on so I have stopped for a couple of days rest

I need to eat better and rest more before I reach full depression and feel like doing nothing

At calm and ease

I learnt that we all need love and our love language is all expressed differently. And I need to take the time to love, accept myself, know when to prioritise my wellbeing but also look out and care for others. I need to be able to calm my mind, body, soul and heart which will take baby steps but I will get there eventually. ❤️❤️❤️

It was definetly relaxing just listening to someone else speak other than myself.

I think what I’ve realized is that I never give myself much time to breathe and reset. I’m always on the go, whether it’s talking or going out and sometimes I just need to know when it’s time to take a break. Maybe don’t speak if you have nothing to say; which can be challenging for me because I hate silence.

I noticed that I treat myself like a victim, and don't enable myself space to exist

I learnt that I need to remind myself that I am here and I exist

I'm free

I'm free of the road block that was not allowing me to get on with things. I've got this!

Initial thoughts

The image of “ coming home to yourself and caring deeply” and “being comforted by your own company “ was more reassuring and pleasant than i thought it could be

Meditation

I learned to be kind to myself with this meditation. I invited in reassurance and self love and instantly felt like my heart opened a little more.

Meditating

I love guided meditation. I feel calm and loved the moment I got to talk to myself. Give myself positive words instead of fearful words.
