Powerful Affirmation

We’re headed towards another lockdown because the cases are spiking higher than ever, and I’m reminded of Solange’s powerful affirmation in @harpersbazaarus:⁣⁣

⁣⁣

Today⁣⁣

Today, I affirm, will be a beautiful day⁣⁣

I will look for the good in all things⁣⁣

I will look for the love in all corners of time⁣⁣

I will listen to myself and be okay with the discomfort, but never let fear lead me⁣⁣

I will be a loving and patient mom⁣⁣

I will replace feelings of doubt with feelings of love⁣⁣

I will breathe⁣⁣

⁣⁣

We have to take things slow, day by day, and focus on what we can control, such as loving ourselves unconditionally and putting in the work to better ourselves. As Solange beautifully writes, “Joy was letting go of control. Joy was just sitting. Joy was seeing how far I had come and waving at my shadows. Joy was accepting that the work is never done, but that every day is a choice.” Swipe right for more gems to lift you up this holiday week (and hopefully the rest of this pandemic). ⁣⁣

Much love, ⁣⁣
