Before we dive into the affirmations,
We'll pause for a quick blessing.
May forgiveness open the gates of our hearts,
Gently and in its own time.
May we honor our wounds without becoming them.
May our boundaries remain clear,
Compassionate,
And steady.
May forgiveness free us,
Not from responsibility,
But from resentment.
And may grace meet us wherever healing is needed most.
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.
