Even though affirmation is relatively a common word we use often, sometimes the meaning or what it represents for someone personally may differ. Thankyou for sharing so many amazing definitions, Soul, they do capture the meaning of this word in the most generic sense, I feel. ❤
Those are some great questions, I'll try to use when I next sit with my journal lol. 😊
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou thanks.

@soulsings
Aw I really love that! Inner sunshine for the win hehe! ❤
My affirmation for today- "I'm allowed to feel as I do, without having to deal actively with the situation(s)."
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I like that. I can be the way I am and accept how I am and what I am capable of.
@soulsings
Wowzieee! "I can be the way I am" ~ louder for everyone! 🙌
"I have what it takes to move forward, and I'm allowed to move at my pace."
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou "My only responsibility is to do the best I can - no one can reasonably be expected to do more than that."
@soulsings
Oh goodness, this one hits haaaard. Mind if I note it down somewhere please?
Our best is indeed reasonably enough. ❤
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou all of these affirmations are free to use or write down.
@soulsings
Yay, thankyouu!
Here's another- "I can crawl forward when walking seems hard"

I often think of an affirmation in the morning of setting an intention for the day.
