☕ Today’s Affirmation:

 “Today I will know in my heart that I deserve love and respect.”

☕ Tea Pairing:

Rose and chamomile herbal tea – calming, floral, and heart-opening.
It’s the kind of tea that reminds you to soften toward yourself. To receive love gently, without question or condition.

💬 A Little Thought from Me:

Say it with me.
Not just with your voice—but with your whole being:
“Today I will know in my heart that I deserve love and respect.”

Because you do.
You always have. 

Even in the moments you doubted it.
Even when someone made you question your worth.
Even when you forgot how to speak kindly to yourself.

Love and respect aren’t things we have to earn by being “good enough.”
They are basic truths. Human rights. 

And the more you believe that, the more you’ll begin to see it reflected back to you— In the relationships you allow, the boundaries you hold, and the way you show up for yourself.

Knowing you deserve love and respect doesn’t mean you’ll never have hard days.
It means you’ll stop settling for less than what you deeply need.

🖋️Journal Prompt:

What does it mean to me to feel truly loved and respected—and how can I start offering that to myself first?

This might be the most important relationship you ever build—
The one you have with yourself.

Let this be the day you stop shrinking, over-explaining, or waiting for approval.
You are lovable. You are valuable. You are worthy of respect—just by being here.
