Zest Affirmations

This practice is part of a greater series devoted to promoting character development and positive change. For those of you who only want to do the affirmations, I wanted to make them easily accessible. In this session, we are exploring our relationship to the character strength of Zest, which falls under the Courage virtue.

I hope this mantra/affirmation practice is an offering to your highest self.

With Peace and Love,
Hannah

Before we begin, Let's offer a blessing to set our intention. May we be blessed with the energy to greet each day with enthusiasm and joy. May we approach our lives with the spirit of adventure, Finding excitement in both the small and grand moments of life. May we bring warmth and passion to all that we do, And may our spirited presence empower others to face challenges with a joyful heart, Turning each experience into an opportunity for growth and fulfillment. I will read each statement twice, Pausing in between to give you a chance to repeat them out loud to yourself, And I do recommend saying them out loud. The statements that are easy to embrace, Savor them, Appreciate them, Stand like a mountain in their truth. And then the statements that feel not so good, That feel uncomfortable or foreign, Go ahead and say them anyway. This is where we are doing the work, Rewiring those neural networks. This is also where we gain insight into unhealed wounds, Limiting beliefs, And ingrained biases and judgments toward ourselves or toward a particular way of being. It's great material for journaling or discussing with a counselor or trusted friend, Maybe even someone doing the series with you. Whether you're just waking up, Walking your dog, On your commute, Or getting ready for bed, I hope these affirmations serve your deepest, Greatest, Highest self. And with that, Let's get started.
