Three-Minute Lovingkindness Affirmation

November 4, 2024 (updated from December 18, 2023 )

Somedays we can all really use a bit of lovingkindness. Most days, we aren't so kind to ourselves. Today, I am going to help you set a self-lovingkindness affirmation into motion. You can use this mantra pattern for any affirmation subject you wish, for any length of time you wish. Any affirmation can be practiced as part of a daily meditation routine, or by itself. 

Lessen your distractions, get your body into a comfortable state of being, and let’s begin:

We’ll start with a few rounds of deep breaths; deep breath in through your nose and hold for five seconds, then slowly breath out. Take a second deep breath in, hold for five seconds, then release your breath in a steady flow. Return to your regular breathing pattern, and sit in silence for one minute.

Whisper  this five times, then sit silent for thirty seconds:

I AM loving to myself

I AM kind to myself

I AM accepting of myself

Speak this five times , then sit silent for thirty seconds:

I AM loving to myself

I AM kind to myself

I AM accepting of myself

Take a deep breath in through your nose and hold for five seconds, then slowly breath out.

Notice any changes in mood or vibe; they should be positive! Check back in on those vibes throughout the day. 

Go on about your day, be loving and be kind.

Namaste
