Welcome back, beautiful souls! It’s time for Tea with a Taurus and our weekly dose of gratitude and self-love. Every Thursday, I share a special moment with you—one that’s dedicated to pausing, reflecting, and reconnecting with the things we often take for granted. Whether it’s the people around us, the strength within us, or the opportunities that await, today’s Thankful Thursday Affirmations will help you center yourself and embrace all the good in your life.

Let’s take a few minutes to slow down and soak in some powerful affirmations that will set the tone for your week. You don’t need to do anything but be present—take a deep breath, sip your favorite tea (or beverage of choice), and let’s dive in.

1. Gratitude for the Present Moment

The first step in grounding ourselves is recognizing the present moment. Right here, right now, is all we truly have. So, let’s affirm:

“I am grateful for this moment, for this breath, for this new day.”

This is a reminder that each new day is a fresh start, a gift, a clean slate. When you say this affirmation, allow yourself to feel the weight of it—every moment you experience is one you’ve earned, and you deserve to embrace it fully.

2. Gratitude for Your Body

Your body is an incredible thing. It moves you through life, keeps you going even on the days when you feel drained, and carries you through all of life’s challenges. For that, we express gratitude:

“I thank my body for its strength and resilience, for the way it carries me through life.”

Take a second to appreciate all that your body does for you every day. No matter how it looks or feels, it’s always there, supporting you through every step you take. This affirmation is an invitation to love and honor your body, no matter what.

3. Gratitude for the People Around You

Next, let’s shine a light on the amazing people in our lives. Sometimes, we forget to truly acknowledge the love and support we receive from others. So today, we’re giving thanks:

“I am thankful for the people in my life, for the love and support they give me.”

Think about the faces of those who lift you up, make you smile, or give you a shoulder to lean on. These people are blessings, and today we recognize them with gratitude.

4. Gratitude for Self-Kindness

In a world that often tells us we’re not enough, we must remind ourselves that we are deserving of kindness, especially from ourselves. Take a moment to affirm:

“I am thankful for the kindness I show myself every day.”

This one is personal. You deserve to be as kind to yourself as you are to others. Self-compassion is a practice, and it’s okay to give yourself permission to rest, forgive, and nurture your spirit. You are worthy of your own love and care.

5. Gratitude for What’s Yet to Come

Finally, let’s shift our focus to the future. There’s so much good waiting for you just around the corner. Affirm your readiness to receive it:

“I am thankful for the opportunities that are waiting for me, and I am ready to receive them.”

Whatever dreams or goals you have, trust that they are already on their way. You are deserving of the abundance that life has in store for you. Say this affirmation with faith and excitement for what lies ahead.

Bringing It All Together

Gratitude is a powerful tool—it shifts our focus from what we lack to what we have, from fear to hope, and from stress to peace. I encourage you to carry these affirmations with you throughout the week. Whether you revisit them every Thursday or repeat them whenever you need a reminder of your strength, your worth, and your blessings, know that they are always here for you.

If today’s Thankful Thursday Affirmations resonated with you, I’d love for you to share them with someone who could use a little extra light today. Don’t forget to check out the Tea with a Taurus podcast for more affirmations, self-care tips, and all things personal growth.

Take a moment to acknowledge how far you’ve come, how strong you are, and how much love surrounds you. And as always, remember—you are enough.

See you next Thursday, and until then, keep glowing.
