☕ Today’s Affirmation: 

“Today is a brand new day that I will embrace as a new beginning and make the most of this day.”

💬 A Little Thought from Me:

This is your reminder that no matter what yesterday held—today is new.

There’s something quietly powerful about fresh starts.
They don’t always come with big announcements or fireworks.
Sometimes, they arrive in a soft morning light.
In the quiet decision to try again.
In the courage to say, “I’m not who I was yesterday, and I don’t have to be.”

Whether it’s the first day of a new month, or just a random Thursday, today is a chance to reset.
To shift your perspective. To rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself.
To begin something, even if it’s just one small step. Maybe you’ve been hard on yourself lately.
Maybe things have felt heavy or stuck.
But this moment, right here, is proof that you can start again.
That you are allowed to outgrow the version of you that no longer fits.

🖋️Journal Prompt: 

☀️ Lemongrass tea has that same energy.
It’s fresh, zesty, cleansing.
It doesn’t linger in the past.
It invites you to wake up and lean into the now.

☕ Tea Pairing: 

 If today were the first page of a brand-new chapter, what would I want to fill it with? How do I want to show up today?

Write from a place of hope. Even if it’s messy. Even if you’re not sure.
Just begin.

This day won’t last forever.
But you get to choose how it feels, how it unfolds, and how it carries you forward.
You’re not starting over from scratch—you’re starting from experience.
And that makes all the difference.

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.
