All right,
Before we begin,
We'll take a moment for a blessing because we could all use one.
May we be blessed with the simple,
Yet profound ability to show kindness in our everyday lives.
May our actions be guided by compassion and our words guided by empathy,
Allowing us to touch the lives of those around us with warmth and sincerity.
Let us find joy in the small,
Everyday acts of care,
And may our kindness create a ripple effect,
Fostering deeper connections and understanding all around us.
As we give and receive kindness,
May we feel a sense of fulfillment and joy,
Knowing that we are contributing to a more compassionate and loving world.
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 that you do so.
And 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.
