Before we begin,
We will pause for a brief blessing.
May we be blessed with eyes that see beyond our biases and hearts that yearn for true justice.
May we have the courage to stand up for what's right,
Even when it costs us our comfort.
May we honor the humanity in each person,
And remember that fairness is not only a gift we give others,
But a gift we give ourselves.
May our actions ripple outward,
Creating communities rooted in respect,
Dignity,
And compassion.
And may we always remember to extend fairness inward,
Holding ourselves gently even when life isn't fair.
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.
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 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.
