I have been sitting on this post for…a few days. Not for any real reason…The excitement from my first return post had worn off, the “what ifs” had set in, and the next thing I knew I was procrastinating on sharing any of the ideas I had written in my notebook.
So.
Here I am, at 11:45 on a Friday night, sharing these words with you.
Affirmations, really. From the Third Eye Affirmations app, and the I Am app. There have been quite a few lately that I’ve taken screenshots of, and I wanted to share some of the ones that have really stuck out to me.
They stuck out not because they seem generic, but because they would pop up in the widget right when I was having thoughts about the exact opposite. When I would doubt myself, if I’d ever reach my goals, if I’d ever stick with this consistently. When I’d wonder if anyone would actually read or care about the words I wrote.
These affirmations would do just that…affirm. Encourage me to not give up, to keep writing even if it’s not perfect.
So now I share them with you; because maybe they’ll resonate with you like they have with me. Maybe not in the exact same way, but in *some* way.
*My validation comes from myself.
* I notice when I’m being too hard on myself and I soften. I speak to myself in a way that actual helps me grow. Kindness is more effective than criticism.
* I don’t need to be perfect to be worthy of respect or love. I’m allowed to be a work in progress. That doesn’t make me less, it makes me real.
* It’s okay to set my own boundaries.
* My personal growth journey is something to be proud of.
* I give myself permission to b imperfect and human.
* I trust that what I’m building will take time. I don’t rush the process just to feel ahead. I’m focused on creating something that actually lasts.
* I am becoming more comfortable being seen as I really am. I don’t need to perform or filter myself to be accepted. The right people will resonate with the real version of me.
* My contributions to the world are valuable and meaningful.
* I let go of the need to control every outcome. Not everything requires my interference to work out. Sometimes the best things I can do is trust and allow.
* I am worthy of achieving great things in life.
* I am learning to be patient with my own process. Growth doesn’t always look dramatic, but it’s happening. I give myself credit for the progress I don’t always see.
* I embrace my creativity as an essential part of who I am (this one really hit home when I was doubting my writing ability).
There you have it. Are there any that I’ve shared that stuck out to you as well? Do you have any affirmations of your own that you use on a daily basis? Let me know in the comments down below.
