Sometimes I have to remind myself that I’m lit AF and don’t need anyone’s approval to be me.
I told myself starting yesterday I would write an affirmation on a piece of paper each day and sit it in front of my laptop to look at all day. I’m hoping with constant positive reaffirmation, I will not allow the negative energy that lies within the walls of this place to deter me from happiness.
Here is today’s affirmation:
There is no shame in needing.
Sometimes, you have to cry for no reason to find peace.
Sometimes, life is hard. Life hurts. And it can suck. But it gets better with time.
Time truly does heal all things; let time consume your pain.
You have to dig deep for happiness; it’s ok to admit that you’re not always in a great mood.
Don’t entertain foolishness and don’t let negative energy in your space.
You. Are. Lit. Don’t forget that shit.
Queens never stop fighting.
Take 5 deep breaths and handle that shit.
Live in peace.
Be aggressive in your ambition.
just a little reminder. 🖤

For the month of October, roughly one month before my birthday, I took on a task of creating affirmations everyday that I use to motivate and keep myself positive.
So far, I’ve made 24 affirmations (2 per morning) and it feels really good. I have an app that I use to take words from, and from those words I create my own affirmations to keep with me throughout the day. I may write it down, put it on my lock screen or just go back to my notepad during the day. So far, it’s been helping; I can tell my attitude is slowly turning around. At the end of the month, I may reveal my list of affirmations, so hopefully someone will be inspired to utilize an affirmation, or take on the challenge for themselves.
I hope we all continue to push through this month and soak in as many positive vibes as possible! Find an affirmation you love and hold on to it for peace, love, strength, happiness, or whatever you may need that day!
What are some important things I have learned in life?
Everyday, I learn something new; whether it be good or bad. The best thing I can do is take everything in stride and take the experiences as they come to me as they are. Lessons are just that, and they come into our lives to teach and make us better human beings. So, here are a few things I have learned thus far in this crazy thing I call, life:
Do I feel blessed? How and why or why not?
Definitely.
This question seems so simple, yet I know it can be a difficult thing to keep in perspective at times. Even on the days when I seem to feel like nothing is going my way, I try to remember why I’ve been blessed to have everything I have up to this point.
As humans, we tend to complain about the things we do not have, but forget about how much we’ve been blessed with otherwise. I am guilty of not always counting my blessings; there have been times when my thoughts have been very narrow-minded and selfish. Whenever I’m not in the right space, I try to thing of at least five things I’m blessed to have in life right at that moment, and it helps to keep my mindset in perspective.
