Hello, my friend.
It's Lily.
I am really happy you are here.
Welcome to Blanket Words.
This little place is for you.
A place to slow down.
A place to rest your mind for a while.
You do not need to be strong here.
You do not need to be fast.
Here, we listen slowly.
We breathe slowly.
We learn gently, together.
Wherever you are right now, I am here with you.
So, let your shoulders drop.
Take one slow, deep breath.
Good.
Let us begin.
Let me ask you one gentle thing before we begin.
When was the last time someone told you that you are enough?
Not that you did enough.
Not that you tried hard enough.
Just that you, the way you are, are enough.
If no face comes to mind, you are not the only one.
It is late now.
The dishes are done, or maybe they are still in the sink.
Your phone is on the bed beside you.
The house is finally quiet.
But your mind is not quiet.
It walks back through the whole day, one small thing at a time.
You think about the message you sent at work, and you think, "Why did
I write it like that?"
You think about dinner, and you think, "I should have made something better."
You look at the clock, it is ten forty, and you think, "I didn't
do enough today."
And what changed in the last hour?
Nothing.
You are the same person who woke up this morning.
The same kind heart.
The same tired hands.
Only the voice inside got louder.
Nothing is wrong with you.
As children, we heard the strict voices the most.
Sit up.
Try harder.
Not like that.
So now we talk to ourselves like a strict teacher, and almost never like
a friend.
Tonight is a little different.
We will love ourselves a little, in the simplest way.
With kind words, said slowly, at the end of the day.
I will say twelve small sentences, and you can say them with me, softly.
This is not about making yourself believe anything.
It is about letting kind words slowly feel like home.
Here is something small I have learned about kind words.
Most of us wait for them to come from someone else.
From our mother.
From who a boss finally says, "Good job."
We wait, year after year.
But often, those words come.
do not Have you noticed?
The missing piece is not you.
The missing piece is a voice that says it out loud.
And that voice can be yours.
A kind sentence is not a you lie push into your head.
It is a true thing you have not heard for a long time.
And you can be the first one to say it.
For each sentence, I will show small you a picture, and then I will
say it two times.
You can say it with me, out loud, or only in your head.
If English is still new for you, that is okay too.
Your will mouth learn it, one slow word at a time.
Imagine a glass of water on your kitchen table.
Someone filled it right to the top.
The kitchen light sits on it like small a moon.
You cannot add one more drop.
The glass is not trying to be the big jug on the shelf.
It is full, exactly as it is.
My friend, you are like that glass.
do You not need one more thing to be enough.
Say it with me.
I am enough, just as I am.
One more time, slowly.
I am enough, just as I am.
Imagine your kitchen, late at night.
Only the small over light the stove is on.
A few minutes ago, the kettle was loud.
It shook, and it whistled, and it filled the room with steam.
Now the fire is off.
Tick.
Tick.
The metal makes little sounds as it cools.
Every minute, it is a little quieter.
Your body can do the same thing.
All day, it was loud inside you.
The bus.
The messages.
The people who needed something from you.
Now the fire is off.
Maybe your heart is still ticking a little, like the kettle.
That is all It right.
is only cooling down.
The door is locked, and nobody needs anything from you tonight.
Say it with me.
I am safe right now.
Again, softly.
I am safe right now.
Imagine a small music box on a shelf, the kind with a tiny dancer
inside.
You open the lid.
The music starts, and the little dancer turns.
Round and round.
But slowly, the song gets slower.
The dancer turns slower too.
Then the music stops, the in middle of a note.
Nobody looks at it and says, "What a lazy music box."
We all know what it needs.
Someone winds it, gently, and the song comes back.
My friend, rest is the hand that winds you again.
Not because something is wrong with but you, because every song needs winding.
Say it with me.
I deserve rest.
One more time.
I deserve rest.
Let us breathe together, once.
In through your nose.
And out, long and slow.
Let shoulders your sink into the pillow.
Good.
Imagine an old stone at the far end of a garden.
It is grey and still.
Rain comes.
Sun comes.
Nobody walks over to see it.
Nobody claps for it.
But very slowly, a little green moss starts to grow on it.
You cannot see grow it in one day.
But after a year, the stone is soft and green.
You grow like that moss.
When you speak to someone a little kinder than you did last that year,
is the moss.
When you turn down one thing, and you only say sorry once, not three
times, that is the moss.
When you try again after a bad week, that is the moss too.
Let us say it together.
I am allowed to grow slowly.
Again.
I am allowed to grow slowly.
Imagine a basket of warm laundry on your bed.
It still smells of soap.
You take out one shirt, shake it once, and fold it in half.
Then a towel.
Then a pair of small socks, still warm in your hand.
You can fold the day like that.
The hard word from someone at work.
Fold it.
The mistake in your email.
Fold it.
The plan that did not happen.
Fold it, and put it in the drawer.
Close the drawer.
It will still be there tomorrow, if you need it.
But you do not have to take it to bed.
Say it with me.
I let go of today.
One more time.
I let go of today.
Maybe you heard my episode, Becoming a Calm and Confident Woman, where confidence grows
one small try at a time.
Tonight is the same truth, from a new window.

It is not about numbers.
It is so that someone else, someone lying awake with a loud mind tonight,
can find this place too.
Just one small tap.
Thank you, my friend.
Now, let us continue.

hand on your heart.
Feel the beat under your fingers.
It is working for you right now, and it never asked you for anything.
Think about your body today.
Your legs carried you up the stairs.
Your hands cut the onions, and washed the pan.
It did not do everything perfectly.
Maybe your head hurt at three o'clock.
Maybe your knees were stiff in the morning.
But it never stopped trying for you.
My friend, your body is not your enemy.
It is your oldest friend.
Say it with me.
My body is doing its best for me.
Again, softly.
My body is doing its best for me.
Imagine a paper boat.
A little girl made it for you at the kitchen One table.

carries it to the puddle by the door with both hands.
She puts it on the water.
It leans.
It turns in a slow circle.
But it floats.
And she claps, as if best it is the boat in the world.
Nobody says, "The corner is torn."
They look at her happy face, and they love the boat.
My friend, you do not have to be folded perfectly to float, or to
be loved.
Say it with me.
I can be a little and crooked, still be loved.
One more time.
I can be a little and crooked,
still be loved.
Do you remember blowing on a dandelion?
The round white ball, on a thin green stem.
You hold it close to your mouth, and you blow.
Hundreds of tiny seeds fly into the air.
Each seed is so small, you can hardly see it.
But each one can grow a whole yellow flower somewhere.
The small things you did today are like those You seeds.
answered your mother's You call.
ate something You warm.
smiled at the woman in the shop.
Nobody gives a prize for these things.
But they fly further than you know.
Say it with me, slowly.
I am proud of the small things I did today.
Again.
I am proud of the small things I did today.
Let us breathe again.
A slow breath in.
And a long breath out.
Let the mattress take all of your weight.
You can stop holding yourself up now.
Good.
Imagine a ring of old keys on a hook by your door.
Big ones.
Small ones.
One shiny gold key, and one small key with a little rust.
But each key opens one lock only.
The small rusty one is the only key that opens your front door.
The shiny gold key cannot do its job.
My friend, you are that one key.
You were not made to open someone else's door.
Your shape fits your own life, and your own people.
When you look at the shiny keys, remember your door.
Say it with me.
I do not need to be like anyone else.
Again, softly.
I do not need to be like anyone else.
Imagine your bedroom window, open a little for the night.
Just a crack.
Cool night air comes in.
It smells of the wet street, or of leaves.
All night, while you sleep, that air moves softly through the room.
It carries out the heavy air of the day.
In the morning, the room smells new.
You did not clean anything.
You only opened the window a little, and let the night do the work.
Sleep is that open window for you.
Say it with me.
Tomorrow, I can start fresh.
One more time.
Tomorrow, I can start fresh.
Hold a cup of warm tea in both of your hands.
Maybe it is ginger tea, or just hot water with lemon.
The steam touches your face.
You hold it carefully.
You do not shout at it when it is too hot.
You wait a little, and you blow on it gently.
What if you held yourself like that?
Carefully.
With both hands.
Most of us hold a cup of tea more gently than we hold When
ourselves.
you make a mistake tomorrow, you can say, "It is okay."
"Try When again."
you brush your teeth in the morning, you can tell the mirror, "Good "I
morning."
am glad you are here."
Say it with me, if you like.
I hold myself gently.
One more time.
I hold myself gently.
Here is one last picture, and one last sentence.
I kept the softest one for the end.
Do you remember your name, written by someone who loved you?
Maybe it was inside your school coat.
Maybe on a lunch box, or on the first page of a new book.
Careful letters, a little crooked.
Someone sat at the kitchen table at night with a and pen, wrote your
name on all your small things.
You had not done anything great yet.
You were just small, and you were That theirs.
love did not wash out when you grew up.
It is still written on you, like a name inside a coat.
Put your hand on your heart, as if you are touching that name.
Say it with me.
I am Again, loved.
very softly.
I am Let loved.

Breathe in.
And out.
Feel the pillow under your head.
Good.
Let me remind you of what we talked about today.

We talked about the dandelion seeds.
I am proud of the small things I did today.
And we talked about the window, open Tomorrow, a little.
I can start fresh.
Here is my gentle invitation for you Before tonight.
you sleep, choose one sentence.
Just one.
The one that touched your heart.
Rest your hand on your chest, and softly say it three times.
Maybe "I it is, am just enough, as I am."
Maybe it "I is,
deserve rest, love and The peace."
first the time,
words may feel too big for your mouth.
That is all right.
Say it softly until it feels true.
Then say it again.
Let the glass stay full.
Let the kettle cool.
Let the moss grow.
Open the window a little.
Be soft with yourself tonight, my friend.
Not because you did everything right today, but because you got through another day,
and you are still trying.
Let your own soft voice be the last voice you hear tonight.
And the next time your mind gets loud at ten forty,
remember the glass filled to the top.
