Self-Regulation Affirmations

This practice is part of a greater series devoted to promoting character development and positive change. For those of you who only want to do the affirmations, I wanted to make them easily accessible. In this session, we are exploring Self-Regulation, which falls under the virtue of Temperance.

May this mantra/affirmation practice be an offering to your highest self.

With Peace and Blessings,

Before we dive into the affirmations, We'll pause for a quick blessing. May we learn to listen to what's happening inside of us with kindness. May we trust our bodies when they signal the need for movement or rest or care. May we allow ourselves to wobble without shame and to return without rushing. And may our growing steadiness help us stay connected to ourselves, To one another, And to the 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 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.
