10 Affirmations To Let You Slow Down This Winter

As we head into the winter season in the northern hemisphere, there is a natural urge to slow down but our societal demands to stay productive and high energy (like in the summer months) contradict our body's natural desire to go dormant into recovery mode. Syncing with the seasons is a crucial way to live in harmony with our Earth, not against it. Here are 10 affirmations to let you slow down guilt-free. Follow along and repeat to yourself internally or out loud.

1. I am worthy even when I am not productive.
2. The season is slowing and so am I.
3. Peace flows through me when I slow down.
4. Healing and recovery is productive.
5. I am enough, even when I rest
6. I accept changes in my energy, just as I accept the changing of the seasons.
7. I release guilt around what I should be doing and just be.
8. I am worthy no matter the pace of my life.
9. I am loved.
10. I am present
