I am drinking my delicious cup of coffee, and I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes and affirmations with you. Take what you need and whatever resonates with you, write it down, and recite it throughout the day.

• You get to change your mind at any time

• I am more than good enough and I get better every day

• Show up for yourself always in all ways

• “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Marianne Williamson 

• “When you feel good, everything around you is good.” ~Don Miguel Ruiz 

• “And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” — Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

• “95% of your success or failure can be predicted based on the kind of people you regularly spend time with. Build your squad and next-level your success.”  ~Rachel Rodgers 

• You’re allowed to do the work and enjoy your life.

• You’re worthy of love

• “Every time you’re given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint as many people as it takes to avoid disappointing yourself.“ ~Glennon Doyle

• “Be with someone who chooses you everyday. Not just when they’re in the mood for you.”~Unknown

• Pause. Breath. Move slowly

• “Everything starts with me. I have the power to change today. I take responsibility for my life. Great blessings are headed my way.” ~Idil Ahmed

• “When you’re nervous about stepping outside of your comfort zone, remind yourself: It feels scary because it’s unfamiliar, not because I’m incapable.” ~Michell Clark

Things Worth Sharing…

• This song encourages me whenever I need to be uplifted

• My new favorite IG account to follow: House of Juice, I just love, love.
