Before we begin,
Let's pause for a brief blessing.
May we bring our full,
Authentic selves into the teams we belong to,
And find joy in the magic of shared purpose.
May we be blessed with voices that speak truth with kindness,
And ears that listen with openness and humility.
May we honor both our own needs and the needs of the whole,
Setting healthy boundaries that keep us grounded.
May our presence help weave communities of trust,
Respect,
And hope.
And may we always remember to be loyal,
Honest teammates to our own hearts.
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.
