Good morning,

Dear caregiver.

Today's affirmations are best practiced first thing in the morning if you're just waking up or if you have a moment to yourself before your day begins.

So stretch out your arms over your head and take a deep inhale and exhale.

Inhale and exhale.

Inhale and exhale.

Sigh if you have to.

And scan through your body for any uncomfortable,

Tight or stiff areas.

And just breathe into them.

Release any tension and be sure that you're filling your lungs and body with oxygen.

We're going to go over some affirmations to start our day off with the best intentions with a crystal clear focus on what we want to achieve and how we want to be today.

So you can repeat these to yourself in your mind or simply listen.

Love these affirmations 💙

Thank you!

Beautiful. Tears started to come when I said “I Am A Great Parent”. Thank you so much for this meditation so grateful 🙏🏻💕

This was lovely, thank you. As a neurodivergent parent to 4 boys who are neurodivergent, I’m TIRED and my heart is heavy so many days. The judgment and expectations I place on myself are entirely unrealistic. It’s hard to find people who understand how incredibly difficult and beautiful our days can be from one moment to the next. I’ll be returning to this, as it feels so personalized to my life. ❤️
