March Affirmations 2025
“A seed neither fears light nor darkness, but uses both to grow.” -Matshona Dhliwayo
Maybe a year ago, the hot topic in my therapy sessions was my masterful avoidance of conflict. In those conversations, I was faced with these habits and fears that I had to eventually realize were simply not serving me. Today, I stand before you, not quite a soldier running into conflict screaming and sword drawn, but a little bit better at facing conflict head on. And really, that little bit has made a world of a difference.
Like many things, it all came down to trust, to me. I had to ask myself if I had my back enough to speak up when needed and pick myself back up if that speaking up caused a blow up. I had to see that I’ve grown into an unconditional Love with myself. I’m not always going to go about speaking up the right way, I sometimes come in wound first and end up hurting the person who I’m ultimately just trying to get closer to, but now I Love myself through that. I hold myself accountable and show gratitude to myself for the effort. I lean into honesty, trusting that I’m always safe.
Even if, somehow, someway, I wasn’t safe with the person I’m in conflict with (which gratefully has yet to be the case in this season), I know I’m safe with me. I don’t mind big conversations as much as I used to because I know that they are necessary. We are all just big kids trying to hide our boo-boos, so yes, sometimes it’s not pretty, but there is always growth on the other side, on an individual basis and in the connection. And that’s worth it all.
The thought of conflict is just what’s been on my heart lately, but really this applies to all manners of what life dishes out. Some moments are just hard, but don’t resist them, trust that those moments are necessary too. Let’s not fear the darkness, it’s growing us just as much as the light. Here are some affirmations to help ground us in this knowing:
I embrace the opportunity to experience life in all of its forms.
I trust myself to be steady when all else is in chaos.
I welcome moments that leave me with lessons.
I know that all things are working for my very highest good.
I take responsibility for my perspective.
With each experience, I am becoming who I am meant to be.
I am grateful to grow.
Sending you so much Love. Happy Women’s Month!!!
