☕ Today’s Affirmation: 

“I deserve peace, even when everything isn’t perfect.”

🖋️Journal Prompt: 

“What does peace feel like in my body? When was the last time I felt it?”

Go back to that moment. Was it in the quiet of the morning? After a long cry? While sipping your favorite tea in the sunshine? You deserve more of that—even now.

💬 A Little Thought from Me:

There was a time in my life when I thought peace had to be earned. That it only came after the to-do list was done, the house was clean, the inbox was empty, the hard conversation was over. But here’s the thing: waiting for perfect conditions meant I was always waiting.

What I didn’t realize is that peace isn’t something I have to chase—it’s something I can choose.

Now, that doesn’t mean I ignore the mess. It means I remind myself that I can take a breath within the mess. That I can rest before everything is resolved. That it’s okay to exhale, even if the laundry isn’t folded or the answers haven’t come yet.

Because peace isn’t a prize—it’s a practice.

☕ Tea Pairing: 

Chamomile – Soft, soothing, and grounding. The kind of tea that doesn’t ask anything of you but to slow down.
