Before we move into the affirmations,
We'll pause for a brief blessing.
May we give ourselves the grace to be fully human,
To laugh at our mistakes,
To loosen our grip on what feels heavy.
To remember that sometimes,
A lot of times,
Presence matters more than perfection.
May humor soften what feels rigid and create space to breathe.
May we find connection through shared laughter and simple joy.
May we hold life with both honesty and ease.
And may humor remind us that even in difficulty and in hardship,
Light can shine through.
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.

As always,
Thank you so much for being here,
For continuing to do this practice,
This work,
So that we can be more aligned with ourselves and so that we can better serve our sense of meaning and purpose,
Better connect with the people we love.
Interact better with the strangers we have yet to know and even those we have a difficult time with,
We all have them.
In doing so,
We get to contribute to the betterment of humanity as a whole and the planet at large.
Starts with being with ourselves in the moment.
And in that place,
I meet you there.
Have a good one,
Y'all.
See you next time.
Bye.
