November Affirmations 2022

Last week, My Dad texted and asked how I was doing. I paused, took a second to assess that the word that popped in my head was true, I decided that it was and I responded to him “a little hopeless”. In that moment, I needed that honesty with myself and I needed to be honest with him. I needed to not cover up what I felt, as I’ve so often done, I needed to be vulnerable. Giving myself the opportunity to feel what I was feeling, created room for me to soon shift. To go back to hope from a place of hopelessness.

There is a fine line between the two, and accessing hope sometimes just means seeing the truth of what’s happening currently, and deciding that it doesn’t have to mean something bad. It means choosing what you make of the space you’re in.

Here’s this month’s quote:

“The difference between hope and despair is a different way of telling stories from the same facts.” -Alain de Botton

To usher in this idea, here are some affirmations:

I choose whether my story is one of triumph or defeat.

I choose to speak my truth from a place that feels empowering.

I take responsibility for the narrative of my life.

I speak powerfully over myself and my experience.

I am thankful for my ability to choose the way I tell my story.

Even in dark moments, I hold on to the hope and belief that I am protected.

I choose to remain hopeful.

Here’s to a month and beyond of speaking well of ourselves and our experience. Sending You so much Love. Happy November.
