☕ Today’s Affirmation:

“I am allowed to take up space.”

Take a moment to take this in. Let the words echo within you. Whether you express it aloud, write it down, or softly reflect on it in your mind, today’s affirmation aims to center you.

🖋️Journal Prompt:

“What areas of my life could use more of me showing up?“

This prompt isn’t meant to elicit a flawless response; rather, it’s meant to ignite a fire within you. Give yourself permission to write freely, even if it’s only one sentence or comes across as rough. Your current thoughts hold valuable insights. Jot them down—and if you’re feeling brave, put them into action, even if only for five minutes.

💬 A Little Thought from Me:

I used to shrink myself to make others comfortable—apologizing for speaking, laughing, even existing too loudly. But guess what? The world needs your fullness. Your voice, your ideas, your presence. Not the edited version.

You don’t have to earn the right to exist or belong. You already do.

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
• If you’re feeling brave, share your response in the comments or DM me – I’d love to hear what came up for you.
