How to Be Kind to Yourself | Guided Meditation for Anxiety

In this episode of Calming Anxiety, we explore the essential practice of how to be kind to yourself through a transformative guided meditation for anxiety.

If you have been struggling with a harsh inner critic, this session is designed to help you stop being hard on yourself and start building a supportive inner voice through consistent, daily meditation for anxiety.


Clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin shares his personal journey of overcoming childhood PTSD to illustrate how mindfulness can help anyone live their best life. By quieting the "survival brain" and utilizing powerful techniques like box breathing, you can learn to regulate your nervous system and find a sense of peace exactly as you are.

Self-Love AffirmationsDuring this guided meditation for anxiety, we repeat these powerful phrases to help rewrite your inner monologue:
  • "I choose to be kind to myself today."
  • "I release the need for perfection."
  • "I am worthy of peace exactly as I am."
  • "I am my own safe harbour."
3 Daily Caring Tips
  1. The Best Friend Check: When self-critical thoughts arise, ask if you would speak to a friend that way. If not, pivot to a kinder thought.
  2. Release the "Shoulds": Remove the word "should" from your vocabulary for 24 hours to reduce pressure and anxiety.
  3. Physical Softening: Periodically check your jaw and shoulders. Softening your body provides the foundation for a calm mind.
