☕ Today’s Affirmation: 

Today’s affirmation is simple but powerful, “I am worthy of rest.”
Not because you finished everything on your list. Not because you’ve earned it. But because you exist—and that’s enough.

🖋️Journal Prompt: 

“What does rest look like for me today?“
Write it out, then offer it to yourself.

💬 A Little Thought from Me:

Rest can take many forms. A short nap. A mindful breath. Turning off your notifications. Saying no to something that drains you. Or even slowing down long enough to savor your cup of tea without multitasking.

Let today be the day you let go of guilt around resting.

☕ Tea Pairing:

Today’s tea pairing is lavender—known for its calming, soothing qualities. Brew a cup and let it guide you into softness.

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.
