Before we move into the affirmations,
We'll pause for a brief blessing.
May we be blessed with the wisdom to pause,
Reflect and choose with care,
And the patience to act in ways that both honor our values and our responsibilities.
May we trust with discernment,
Listening deeply to what is needed in each moment,
And move forward with steadiness rather than haste.
As we navigate our choices,
May we remember that prudence is not restraint from fear,
But clarity born of presence.
A way of honoring truth,
Protecting what matters,
And tending to the future with love.
Let our decisions bring harmony,
Our foresight bring stability,
And our care bring quiet strength to a world that longs for thoughtful 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.
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 and for your willingness to slow down,
To reflect,
And to be collectively committed to the path of growth.
May these reflections remind you that wisdom is already within you,
Waiting in the quiet pause before every choice,
Before every opportunity to act.
May we continue to do the work on ourselves so that we can be better for ourselves and for the people that we love and for the people that we have yet to meet and connect with and for the people that maybe are more challenging in our life.
We've all got them.
So that we can contribute to the betterment of humanity as a whole and the planet at large.
Go forth with peace and many,
Many,
Many blessings.
And I will see you next time.
Bye.
