Today’s Affirmation: “My voice matters.”

Take a breath and let those words fully resonate with you. Allow them to weave into your very being. Whether you express it vocally, jot it down, or merely murmur it internally, today’s affirmation is meant to bring you back to a place of calm and focus.

Journal Prompt: “When was the last time I used my voice and felt heard?” This question isn’t designed for a flawless response – rather, it aims to spark something within you. Allow that memory to anchor you in your strength. And if nothing comes to mind at this moment, perhaps today is the day you forge it.

There was a time when I’d shrink my voice to keep the peace. Whether it was in relationships, work meetings, or even small talk—I’d hold back, thinking that keeping quiet made things smoother. But it didn’t. It just made me smaller. And after a while, I realized I didn’t even recognize my own opinions anymore.

The more I’ve practiced using my voice—even when it shakes—the more I’ve found that it isn’t about being loud. It’s about being true. True to my feelings, my values, my yes, and especially my no.

If you’ve ever been made to feel like your voice doesn’t matter—let this be your daily reminder: it absolutely does.

Try This Today:

• Say the affirmation while sipping your morning tea or coffee.
• Set a timer for 5-10 minutes and write your response to the journal prompt.
