Before we begin,
We'll have ourselves a brief blessing.
May our curiosity burn bright as a sacred flame,
Igniting wonder and a hunger to learn.
May we greet each moment with open eyes and willing hearts,
Trusting there is always more to discover.
And may we also know the space of letting go,
Surrendering the need to have all the answers in this moment.
May our curiosity be both bold and humble,
Lighting new paths while resting in the mystery of life's unfolding.
I will read each statement twice,
Pausing in between each 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.
The statements that feel not so good,
That feel uncomfortable or foreign or like straight up lies,
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 or 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 this 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.
