Take a moment to remind yourself that nothing about you is wrong or broken. You have made no mistakes. No choices you have made have taken you further away from the love inside you. Your life is a beautiful tapestry of events, a field of learning and growing, a masterpiece of love.
The painful moments are always cracking you open, a gift awakening you to more love. Even when you deny your love, it is still alive and breathing, waiting for you to come home.
Rest in the knowing that you don’t need to run anymore. Don’t be afraid to
look into your own eyes and see yourself. To see the pain and suffering and to
let it be there.
Take a moment to allow the feeling of trust to unravel and bathe you in calm. Breathe here, expanding your sense of trust in the highs and lows, in yourself, in the universe, in this moment.
Whisper to yourself:
‘There is no need to run. I trust the unfolding of my life’.

They are simple statements that we repeat to ourselves to encourage self-kindness and positive change. By becoming aware of our thoughts and repeating supportive Affirmations with a gentle and open attitude, we can influence our emotions, our actions and our entire experience of life.
Here are some of my favourites:
‘I deserve to slow down and nurture my energy’
‘I am awake to the natural magic and wonder that surrounds me every day’
‘I am imperfect and worthy of love and belonging’
‘I look for things to appreciate and it fills me with joy’
While I love using Affirmations now, I have to admit that I had a love-hate relationship with them for a long time. They mostly felt untrue and annoying to repeat to myself. Over time, I learnt how to use them in a supportive way rather than forcing them or approaching them with a perfectionist mindset.
Patience and Repetition
Some Affirmations may feel untrue to begin with and that is okay. As you repeat them gently over time, they will begin to feel more natural. Affirmations are a life-long practice, so be easy about them, leave perfectionism at the door, and trust that the seeds will grow in perfect timing.
Embody them
The magic is felt when you not only say the words but when you feel the emotion of them as if they are true. When you feel them in your body, you naturally become drawn towards action that supports the Affirmation. Take a moment to feel them resonate in your body, even just for a moment.
Take Action
Taking action that supports the Affirmation gives your body and mind a tangible experience that helps it become more believable. I have found this to be such an important step, rather than trying to create change solely with my mind.
Make them work for YOU
There is great power in the Affirmations that we resist, but if they feel too jarring or challenging to begin with, try writing them in a more gentle way or swap words for ones that feel more soothing for you. You can also soften them by beginning your Affirmation with ‘I am ready to…’ or ‘I would love to…’. Then when you feel more open, you can try to repeat them in the present tense.

]]>But we've been taught to crash and clamour,
to make noise about everything that touches us,
to force and wrangle,
our way home.
But this moment is all you need.
This body,
this breath,
is all you need.
You do not need to be more,
have more,
do more...
Don't lift a finger.
Don't make a sound.
It is safe to rest,
in the silence of this moment,
and let peace quietly be revealed to you.
]]>Most importantly, use Affirmation Cards in whatever way feels inspiring for you! Tune in each day as your needs change.
Remember to have fun with them and be easy! Affirmations are most powerful when you loosen your grip and approach them with a sense of lightness and curiosity.
