Hello, my friend. Welcome to Wake Me Up, and to these uplifting and inspiring, you are positive affirmations.

Now, these will be a little bit different than our usual style of affirmations,

but I think you'll really enjoy them.

All of these affirmations start with the same two words.

You are.

It will be as though I'm speaking these positive, uplifting statements to you,

and it will help undo any negative belief systems that you had ingrained into you by other people and reframe them towards positive ideas, helping you remember what you've always known deep inside, that

you are amazing.

And you can enjoy these affirmations in any way that you like.

Simply listen along while you take your dog for a walk or sip on a cup of coffee.

Or for the deepest experience, find a comfortable position, close your eyes, and settle into a meditative state.

Now before we begin, let's get focused and centered by taking one nice deep breath together. So inhale, fill all the way up,

hold at the top, and then exhale, release. Just let all of that air fall back out. Nice and easy.

Great. Now let's turn to our affirmations. You are amazing. You are appreciated.

You are loved. You are loved. You are beautiful,

You are beautiful, inside and out. You are worthy of a meaningful and fulfilling life.

You are worthy of a meaningful and fulfilling life. You are capable of achieving great things.
