Daily Meditation for Self-Love Transcript

Hello and welcome to UNWIND. I’m Blair Nicole, and today, we’re heading to the rugged seaside cliffs of Northern Ireland, where we’ll learn how to truly love ourselves—no matter how we feel.

Because self-love isn’t about fixing, forcing, or feeling good all the time. It’s about learning to meet ourselves with compassion, even in the moments when we feel unworthy, lost, or overwhelmed.

Let’s get started.

Find a comfortable position. Close your eyes if you’d like, or simply soften your gaze. Take a deep breath in through your nose… let the air expand in your chest… and hold for just a moment. Now exhale through your mouth, releasing anything heavy.

Let’s do that again. Inhale deeply… filling your lungs completely… hold… and exhale, letting go of tension.

One more time. Inhale… feeling warmth spread through your body… and exhale, grounding yourself into the present.

Now imagine you’re standing in the emerald green grass, high atop a rugged cliffs that overlooks a sandy beach below. It’s morning and the sky is soft with the hues of pink and gold, stretching endlessly over the wild Atlantic.

A cool breeze brushes against your skin, carrying the crisp scent of sea salt and damp earth. Beneath you, the grass is thick and damp with morning dew—it’s solid, ancient, unshaken.

Below, the waves crash against the sandy beach and the limestone cliffs—unpredictable, but steady. You listen to the rhythmic beat of the waves and realize the tide does not judge itself—it simply moves, rises, and falls. Just as you do. Just as you are meant to.

You notice a flock of birds stirs in the distance, their wings catching the golden light as they glide effortlessly over the sea.

Take a moment to enjoy the beautiful scene before you. You are here. Safe in your own presence. And in this space, there is room for all of you.

Self-love isn’t about feeling good all the time. It isn’t about forcing joy or pushing away the harder emotions. True self-love means making space for everything—for confidence and doubt, for peace and fear, for light and darkness.

It means learning how to stand on the cliffs of your own existence and giving yourself permission to be exactly as you are.

And so, I invite you to turn inward now. To meet the parts of yourself that need your love the most.

Close your eyes if they aren’t already, and take another deep breath in… and out.

Now, I want you to imagine that just a few steps behind you, someone is standing there. It’s you—a younger version of you.

Maybe they’re small, maybe they’re a teenager, maybe they look just like you do now—but this is the part of you that has been waiting to be seen.

Turn toward them. Look at them. Notice how they stand, how they hold themselves. What expression do they wear?

They have something to tell you. Something they’ve been holding onto—perhaps for years.

Gently, with kindness, ask them:
What do you need from me?”
And just listen. No fixing. No rushing. Just presence.

Maybe they need reassurance. Maybe they need to know they are safe. Maybe they need to hear that they are enough, exactly as they are.

Whatever they need, imagine yourself kneeling beside them, wrapping them in the warmest, most understanding embrace and giving them exactly what they need.

You don’t have to change anything about them. You don’t have to make them stronger, happier, or different. You just have to love them.

Hold them. Let them feel your presence. Let them know you are here, and you will not leave them behind.

As you breathe in, feel the weight of that love settling into your body—gentle, steady, real.

Notice how it feels to have love and compassion for this part of yourself. And allow that feeling to grow.

With every inhale, you draw in self-compassion. With every exhale, you release judgment, resistance, and old beliefs that tell you you’re not enough.

Breathe in: It’s okay to be exactly as I am.
Breathe out: I welcome all parts of me.
Breathe in: I am learning to show up for myself.
Breathe out: I am enough, just as I am.

Now, gently let the image of your younger self fade—not because they are gone, but because they are now a part of you. Held. Loved. Safe.

You can return to this part and show it love and compassion as often as you need.

You turn back to the ocean. The waves still rise and fall. The wind still moves through the grass. And you are still here—steady, whole, and worthy.

Allow yourself to enjoy a few final moments on this breathtaking seaside cliff. Take one last deep breath in… and slowly exhale.

Wiggle your fingers, your toes. Feel the surface beneath you. Let your awareness return to the room around you. And when you’re ready, open your eyes.

As you go through your day, remember: Self-love isn’t about always feeling confident, happy, or whole. It’s about showing up for yourself, even when you feel insecure. Even when you feel lost.

So when you struggle, when you feel like you’re not enough—pause. Breathe. And remember that you can give yourself exactly what you need today.

Thank you for joining me today. Have a great day.
