January Affirmations 2023

Happy New Year! Whew! 2022 came and it flew, and I can’t say that I’m mad about that. Bye girl. Of course, there is always such pressure coming into the new year, but for me, I just want to exhale. I learned a lot in the past year, and I’ve changed in a lot of ways, grown. I’m thankful for that. I’m thankful for all the ideas that I’ve shed, especially the idea that it’s safest, and therefore better, for me to play it small. This year, I’m looking forward to replacing that thought with thoughts of courage, of going out and taking what’s mine.

“Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.” -Paulo Coelho

I hope I’m right in the thought that this is the end of my cocoon phase. I’ve learned and grown, I’ve done a lot of the inner work, but it’s been pretty isolating at times. It’s been quiet. I think it’s time to live. I think it’s time to share who I am in new, much more bold ways. I hope this is the case for many of us. I hope we’re all shifting and becoming more of who we are, and being those people out loud.

I offer us all some affirmations to set the tone:

I am brave.

I live a life that I’m excited about.

I am thankful for every experience I have.

I put all of my energy towards living the life that I desire.

My life is mine to create.

I am bold in my way of living.

I am intentionally creating a life that I Love.

I send all of my Love to all the “almosts” out there. We’re almost there. Almost our full selves. We got this. Let this day 1 be the first of many steps ahead. Happy 2023. Cheers!
