She encourages you to think about colors, shapes, awareness, gratitude, aspirations, acceptance, love, and more.

As with most guided meditations, she takes you to a space that is safe, peaceful, and protected. Where you can be your highest self. Where you can meet your best self. Is that your soul?

Positive Affirmations

Connect with Nature

Another good way to visualize your highest self is taking time to connect with nature. Go for a walk. Get outside. Spend time by yourself – feel your emotions, awaken your spirit, breathe the fresh air, clear your mind.

Be mindful of your surroundings and enjoy every sight, sound, and smell.

Take a stroll with a loved one. Feel the energy and joy flow between you. Let your intuition guide your conversation – or even your silence.

Practice Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a state of being fully aware of what you’re doing, sensing, and feeling in every moment. There are many benefits of mindfulness, including connecting with your inner self better.

You take in the world around you through your five senses — sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch — without judgement. It is a state of accepting your feelings, thoughts, and physical being.

Mindfulness helps you stay connected to your authentic self and maintain your sense of inner peace. It allows you to see the beauty in every moment and helps you live with intention. As a result, you create greater happiness in your life.

Mindfulness is another step toward connecting with your highest self and showing up as her.

Daily life can be exasperating sometimes, so you must have the confidence and motivation to follow your inner guide in order to meet your true potential. You can use quotes about confidence and motivation to help you take the first step toward believing in yourself and connecting with your highest self.

Here are a few of my favorite inspirational quotes for motivation and confidence:
