Insecure
How to Do It
Close your eyes and imagine a powerful, confident version of yourself—your “inner warrior.” Visualize this version of you standing tall, radiating strength and self-assurance. Imagine embodying this inner warrior in your current situation.
Why It Works
Visualization techniques can help you tap into your inner strength and build a mental image of yourself as secure and confident, which can help transform feelings of insecurity.
Guided Practice
Find a comfortable position to sit or lie down. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, bringing your awareness to your body. Imagine an inner warrior within you, strong and resilient. Notice any sensations or images that come up, allowing yourself to be with these feelings without needing to visualize further.
Stay softly seated, noticing each breath deepen your focus and invite relaxation into your body and stillness into your mind. Close your eyes and imagine a powerful warrior within you, a symbol of your strength, courage, and resilience. Visualize this warrior in as much detail as you can — their posture, their expression, their armor or clothing. Feel the energy of this inner warrior, as if it is rising up from deep within you.
As you connect with this inner warrior, notice how it makes you feel — perhaps a sense of confidence, a surge of strength, or a deep-rooted courage. Feel this energy spreading through your body, grounding you in your own power and resilience. Imagine your warrior standing tall, facing any challenges or obstacles with unwavering strength and determination. Notice the sensations in your body — perhaps a firming of your posture, a sense of solidity in your feet, or a warmth in your chest. Stay with these sensations, allowing the visualization to deepen your connection to your inner warrior.
Spend some time with this image, letting it guide you into a state of empowerment and focus. Feel the presence of this warrior within you, a reminder of your own inner resources and capabilities. Notice if any beliefs, insights, or images arise as you connect with this powerful part of yourself. Let these experiences guide you, reinforcing your sense of strength and resilience.
When you feel ready, gently bring your awareness back to your breath, taking a few deep breaths to ground yourself in the present moment. Notice how your body feels now — perhaps more empowered, more focused, or simply more connected to your inner strength. Gently open your eyes, carrying this sense of inner warrior and resilience with you into your day, feeling more confident in your ability to face any challenges.
