Dear diary, check out my affirmation dump 💩
because who needs 12 more pics of wishful projection.
It’s 2022, but I bet you knew that already.
While I don’t have in it me to apologize for being in a “mood” (we’ve all been in a lot lately) I do have something better than resolutions and maybe even goal setting. Standing at the crossroads of a lot of decision-making for what feels like an eternity, it’s become apparent to me that poker facing your way through life isn’t always gonna work. What’s that Pinterest classic we’ve all seen a thousand times? 📌
There you have it, let’s roll with it.
Anywhoooooooooo, what I do have instead are trusty affirmations for each month of the year that I hope will ground and soothe us all. A good friend asked me lately, ‘How do you wanna live this year?’ and it really got me thinking. Honestly is the first word that comes to mind.
As 🕊 bell hooks 🕊 notes in the infamous ‘All About Love’, “Affirmations work for anyone striving for self-acceptance.” Facts. So repeat after me:
I’m making a conscious effort to break from old patterns and habits.
I’m letting shit GO—often and freely.
I am accepting that nothing is ever really final.
I have the power of choice and I’m taking charge of the process.
I can love someone without suffering with them.
I am taking responsibility for myself and my feelings.
I am honoring my intuition.
The things that I put energy into, are the things that are growing.
I am surrendering to the notion that not everything needs to be okay now.
I am defining my own level of urgency and needs.
I am tolerating discomfort for deeper healing and growth.
I rest in existence because I am aware.
Every night before I go to sleep, I can see the residual amber glow from the world still being on fire in the back of my eyes, and guess what? That’s okay, there’s joy to be found somewhere. ❤️🔥
Loves ya,
Hardeep
