☕ Today’s Affirmation:

“Today, I know deep in my heart and soul that happiness and self-worth are within me.”

☕ Tea Pairing:

Lavender and lemon balm – calming, floral, and emotionally grounding.
It’s the kind of tea that soothes your nervous system and softens your heart, reminding you of your inner calm and worth.

💬 A Little Thought from Me:

It’s easy to believe we have to earn happiness—
through productivity, through validation, through reaching a certain version of ourselves.
But happiness… isn’t out there.
It lives in the quiet knowing that you are enough already.

The same goes for self-worth.
It doesn’t depend on how many people approve of you, or what you get done today.
It’s already yours.
Built-in. Unshakeable.
Even when you doubt it. Even when life feels heavy.

This affirmation is a gentle reminder that you don’t need to search so hard.
You can stop. Breathe. Sip.
And return to yourself.

🌸 That’s why today’s tea pairing is lavender and lemon balm.
It’s soft but powerful—just like your inner wisdom.
It wraps around your nervous system and says, “You’re safe. You’re worthy. You’re home.”

🖋️Journal Prompt:

When do I feel most connected to my inner happiness or self-worth? What can I do today to return to that feeling, even for a few minutes?

Let your answer be simple.
It could be sitting in the sun.
It could be dancing in the kitchen.
It could be a quiet “yes” to yourself when no one’s looking.

You are not broken. You are not behind.
Happiness is not a finish line.
It’s the warmth already glowing inside you, waiting to be noticed.
