Close your eyes [Pause 4 seconds] and allow your body to grow still [Pause 6 seconds] as you tune into the sound of my voice.

[Pause 6 seconds] Let go [Pause 2 seconds] and allow yourself [Pause 2 seconds] to drift deeper [Pause 4 seconds] into a state of complete calm.

Picture yourself in a place that feels incredibly peaceful and serene to you. [Pause 6 seconds] It could be a secluded beach, [Pause 2 seconds] a quiet forest, [Pause 2 seconds] or a cozy cabin in the mountains. [Pause 4 seconds] Wherever you feel most at ease. [Pause 6 seconds] Look around and take in all the details [Pause 4 seconds] the sights, [Pause 2 seconds] the sounds, [Pause 2 seconds] the smells.

You are a confident, [Pause 2 seconds] self-assured individual [Pause 4 seconds] who values your own opinion above anyone else's.

In a moment, [Pause 4 seconds] I'll count backwards from five [Pause 2 seconds] and with each number, [Pause 4 seconds] you'll become more awake [Pause 2 seconds] and alert, [Pause 2 seconds] yet still feeling deeply relaxed [Pause 4 seconds] and at peace within yourself. [Pause 6 seconds] Five... [Pause 4 seconds] Four... [Pause 4 seconds] Three... [Pause 4 seconds] Two... [Pause 4 seconds] One...

Whenever you need a boost of confidence [Pause 4 seconds] or a reminder of your inner strength, [Pause 6 seconds] simply take a few deep breaths [Pause 2 seconds] and repeat the affirmations to yourself: [Pause 8 seconds] "I am confident in who I am.
