6-Minute Video Meditation to Feel Good About Yourself

See yourself in a positive light

Getting Started

• Find a quiet place to sit comfortably upright—at the edge of your bed, on the floor, or in a chair

• Close your eyes and tune into the breath or another point of focus to be fully present

• Relax your body—loosen your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and soften your brows

Sometimes it's tough to feel good about ourselves. After all, we are our own worst critics. We might get lost in the minute details about a project we could've handled differently or feel a sense of existential dread when we come across new job or big life announcements from our peers on social media. We wonder, what am I doing with my life, or why can't I be smarter, prettier, or more accomplished at this point in my career?

This type of negative self-talk can manifest as truths in our minds and further decrease our motivation and self-esteem to go after what we truly deserve. This meditation will remind us to go from being our worst critics to being our biggest cheerleaders—because we all deserve to be reminded of our greatness.
