☕ Today’s Affirmation: 

“I release the need to control everything.”

💬 A Little Thought from Me:

Control feels safe. Predictable. And when life gets uncertain, it’s easy to tighten our grip—to micromanage, overthink, or try to make everything perfect.

But holding too tightly can leave us exhausted. Trust me—I’ve been there. What I’ve learned is that loosening our grip doesn’t mean we stop caring. It means we start trusting. Trusting the process. Trusting ourselves. Trusting that even if we don’t have it all figured out, we’ll still be okay.

🖋️Journal Prompt: 

What’s one thing I can let go of today, just a little?

It doesn’t have to be big. Maybe it’s letting someone help. Or giving yourself permission to not have all the answers.

☕ Tea Pairing: 

Today’s tea pairing is lemon balm. Gentle, calming, and perfect for softening that inner tension.

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
