Words Heal Me – Day 7: A new way of being with myself
You’ve arrived at Day 7 of this gentle journey. Today is a day of reflection, gratitude, and choosing how you want to continue.
Healing self-talk is not finished in a week, but you have planted important seeds.
Looking back over the week
Over the past 7 days, you have practiced:
- Meeting yourself kindly: “I’m here with you.”
- Naming what you feel: “There is ______ here.”
- Offering a gentle response: “It’s okay to feel this.”
- Including your body: “Body, I’m listening.”
- Walking with difficult parts with kindness.
- Letting Love or warmth help hold your experience.
These are not small things. They are deep acts of courage and care.
Today’s healing phrase
Today’s phrase is a blessing for the path ahead:
“May I continue to walk gently with myself.”
Day 7 practice (10–15 minutes)
- Find a calm space.
Sit or lie down comfortably. Let your breath slow a little. - Remember the week.
Gently recall moments from each day’s practice. Notice any small shifts in your inner tone, body, or perspective. - Repeat today’s phrase.
With each exhale, say: “May I continue to walk gently with myself.” - Place a hand on your heart.
Feel the warmth of your own touch. Let it be a symbol of commitment to inner kindness. - Rest in silence.
Sit quietly for a few moments and simply feel that you are here, alive, and worthy of care.
Gentle reflection
You might journal about:
- What has changed, even slightly, in how I speak to myself?
- Which phrases felt most helpful or true?
- How might I keep one or two of these practices alive in daily life?
Continuing your journey
This 7-day journey is a beginning, not an ending. You can:
- Repeat this journey whenever you like.
- Explore other Healing Journeys as they become available.
- Deepen your practice with the 28-day “Gentle Self-Talk Training” when it is ready.
- Return often to Self-Talk Practices and Audio & Meditations.
You might also place one favourite phrase somewhere you’ll see it every day – a mirror, a journal, or beside your bed.
With deep respect,
Ross
