Affirmations can be powerful tools for self-transformation and empowerment. They are positive, intentional statements designed to challenge negative thoughts, reshape your mindset, and align your energy with the reality you want to create. By repeating affirmations, you can reprogram your subconscious mind, replacing limiting beliefs with ones that serve your growth. For example:
Self-Worth Affirmation: “I am enough, just as I am. My worth is inherent and unwavering.”
Manifestation Affirmation: “I attract opportunities, abundance, and joy with ease and gratitude.”
Inner Peace Affirmation: “I release what I cannot control and find peace within myself.”
What makes affirmations so transformative is not just saying them but truly feeling their truth. Pairing affirmations with deep breathing or visualization enhances their impact, allowing the words to resonate deeply within you.
Keep going forward. Don’t be loyal to what drains you and leaves you exhausted. I heard something the other day that hit me hard. ‘Don’t choose someone else’s comfort over your own progress’. Something I have been doing my whole life!! 🤔 The thing is I didn’t see it all this time, I do now. Remember, focusing on yourself is not selfish. ❤️💕 much love, muahh
What does it truly mean to “speak your truth”? The phrase is both simple and profound. It’s a call to embrace authenticity, to live in alignment with your values, beliefs, and desires. Speaking your truth isn’t always easy. It can mean standing alone, being vulnerable, or challenging the status quo, but it holds the transformative power to connect us with others and ourselves.
Speaking your truth is an act of courage and authenticity. It allows you to align your words with your values, beliefs, and experiences, fostering deeper connections with others while remaining true to yourself. When you share your truth, you create space for growth, understanding, and empowerment, both for yourself and for those around you. It can be really hard to keep on your path and not let someone’s opinions or actions make you step off the path. I have lived my whole life not being able to do this. I struggled with putting myself out there, putting myself first no matter the consequences. Funny thing though, at my age, I have finally discovered the power I have. The power to be my authentic self. It’s all about being aware, or you could call it being mindful. This journey for me started about 3 months ago, what can I say, I’m a late bloomer. But now that I have found that power within me, I will never give it up. Much love – muah!
By focusing on forgiveness, gratitude, and love, this powerful Hawaiian Hoʻoponopono prayer aims to bring balance and harmony to one’s life and rid oneself of negative feelings.
I’m sorry, Please forgive me, I love you, Thank you.
Do any of you have trouble with not taking on someone else’s drama? Have you learned how to not let it affect or weigh you down? I’m just learning, and boy can it be freeing. But I still have a hard time not feeling bad or guilty thinking I’m not there for that person. Why is that? I found some tips that might help me, and you if you need it. Number 5 hits me the most.
There comes a moment in every life—a whisper, an undeniable pull—where we realize we’ve been living someone else’s story. Boy, do I know that I’ve lived my life for a long time through someone else’s expectations. We could be wearing the masks of success, feeling like you have to conform, or protecting yourself, but deep inside, there’s a longing for something real, something true, something more. That moment is the call to awaken to your authentic self.
To be my authentic self I’ve had to embrace who I truly am—my values, passions, quirks, and all—and expressing that without fear of judgment and the hard part in my opinion. It’s about aligning actions and words with my inner beliefs and being comfortable in my own skin. Something a lot of us have trouble doing. Staying true to yourself brings a sense of fulfillment. What do they say, “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” Taking small steps, like sharing my honest opinions or pursuing what genuinely excites me, will hopefully lead to a more authentic life. Journaling my journey has been extremely helpful and fulfilling. I’m confronting fears, letting go of habits that no longer serve me, and making choices that align with what I feel is my inner purpose. Throughout my life I haven’t known what my inner purpose was. Just following what others thought was right and not speaking up. But I’m learning, and through this process, I’m creating greater self-awareness, confidence, and fulfillment, showing up in the world more authentically and meaningful. Daily journaling has become a habit, and I love it. Below is a link to some excellent journals I found on Amazon. I can suggest the Law of Attraction planner; I am on my second one and I love it. 😊https://amzn.to/3R2JZt7
Ever wonder how you got where you are? It was you, your thoughts – good or bad. It’s interesting to look back 5 or 10 years and remember what your desire was, is that where you are now? I’ve just started to become aware of how my thoughts and feelings dictate the direction my life goes in. I wish I would have figured this out years and years ago. How different my life might be. Oh well, at least now I know I am on the right path to enlightenment. I’m learning about affirmations and visualization, how they can keep your mind on the positive. Before I even get out of bed, I start my day by saying, “I am so grateful for all the wonderful things I have in my life” “I intend to have an awesome day today”. I visualize my day, smile, and you know what, I end up having a good day. It’s crazy! I’m so excited to learn more about connecting to the subconscious mind to create the life I desire. Only up from here! Til next time much love and light, muah!
Self-care is so important. And if you are someone like me, drop a comment below, you might need a little help to get you on your way. Here is something you can each day for the next seven days to get started on a new you.
Day 1: Morning me time
Kick off the day with 15-30 minutes dedicated solely to yourself. It could be journaling, stretching, sipping coffee in peace, or simply enjoying the quiet.
Today, identify one area where you need to set or reinforce a boundary. Politely say no to something that doesn’t serve you. Post about how it feels to honor your needs
Day 3: Indulge in a favorite
Treat yourself to something that brings you joy—a favorite snack, hobby, or activity. Snap a photo or write about your experience to inspire others
Step away from something that drains you (social media, negative conversations, etc.) and replace it with positivity. Share what you chose to let go and how it felt.
Day 5: Celebrate your strengths
Write down 3 things you love about yourself or your abilities. Share them with pride, and encourage others to reflect on their own strengths too
Break your routine and try something new! It could be visiting a local spot, trying a new recipe, or doing a creative project. Document your mini-adventure and share it!
Day 7: Reflect and Recharge
Take time to reflect on the past week—what did you learn about yourself? How do you feel? Share your favorite moment or biggest takeaway from the challenge
Get the rain boots out and get all the gardening gear ready! Gardening can be a such a stress reliever. I used to love it. But at my age, ok I’m soon to be 61, it is really hard on the knees and back. So now I stick to potted flowers on the porch which are just as nice. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m so ready for nice weather and longer summer nights. Much love and light
