I hope these affirmations allow you to reclaim a sense of self-trust and to practice responding instead of reacting to the challenges of everyday life.
Before we begin we'll have a really quick blessing.
May we be blessed with the wisdom to see situations clearly and the discernment to make decisions that are fair,
Thoughtful,
And just.
As we exercise our judgment,
May we balance reason with empathy and intellect with compassion.
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.
