Unleash Your Assertiveness: Paving the Way to Your Desires

The garden is your place of safety and ease. You sit in a padded reclining chair among flowers, birdsong and swaying trees, then watch the sun lower with each long breath. As it sets, a warm feeling spreads across the fields and then through your mind and body, which is the point where the positive suggestions begin.

You picture the person you admire and want to become: the happiness in their face, the confidence in how they carry themselves, the strength in their presence. You fill in details such as who you are with, what you are wearing and how you feel. Then you step forward and merge with them, taking on confidence, kindness, creativity and self-awareness.

The session gives you three short lines: see your best self, feel your best self, become your best self. If you notice yourself sinking back into old thinking patterns, you can close your eyes and repeat the visualisation. It is meant as a quick return to the version of you that you met here.

They describe everyday habits of your best self. You surround yourself with supportive people, communicate openly and empathetically, and learn from mistakes instead of dwelling on them. You also celebrate small wins, look after your sleep, food and movement, and make room for meditation or mindfulness.

Its theme is confidence in a wider sense. The transcript concentrates on becoming your best self, with self-assurance in your expression and strength in your presence, rather than on specific assertive phrases or situations. It gives you a confident inner picture to draw on when you need to stand up for what you want.

The voice reminds you that growth is gradual, so you take one step at a time and celebrate progress. It says the messages grow stronger by the day, the hour and the minute. Then it counts from one to five and you open your eyes feeling awake, refreshed and alert, ready to start the day.
