Affirmation Cards: How We Heal through Self-Love, Joy, and Manifestation

Carry this card with you today. Whenever something good happens, quietly say or think, "I am worthy of joy and ease." When we remind ourselves that we deserve to live with joy and ease, we can begin to conduct our lives to align with those qualities. At the end of the day, reflect on all the big and small ways that joy and ease showed up in your day.

Sometimes we lose agency because we think we don't have a choice in a matter — we just follow the same course we always have. Spend some time thinking about the decisions — choices — you make each day out of habit. What would it look like to choose differently? Start by making a small intentional choice today. Maybe it's shifting your morning routine, changing the tone of a conversation, or saying no to something. See how it feels to actively choose. It takes practice to do things differently.

Your inner wisdom is a powerful guide on the path to change. Close your eyes and spend some time thinking about how listening to your intuition has paid off in the past—or when ignoring it has caused problems. What does your intuition feel like in your body? What does it feel like when you disregard it? Take note of those feelings so that you know when they arise, and let your inner wisdom guide you in the future.

When we commit to healing and changing, there are sometimes people who will try to keep us stuck in our old ways. Even though that feels disappointing, you must stay committed to yourself, your healing, and your emotional well-being. In your journal, write a letter to someone in your life who does not understand your evolution. Explain why you are on this journey and express your hope that they can embrace this new you. It is up to you whether you share the letter. This is a personal practice of freedom

and inner peace.

In your journal or on a piece of paper, write about the things you’re rushing through and how you’d like to slow down. When you’re done, give yourself permission to rest. Spend at least ten minutes doing nothing.

When we pretend to be OK, we don’t let people see our true selves and we carry the silent burden of our unhappiness. Next time you’re not feeling your best, reach out to a trusted friend and let them know that you’re not OK. Notice how it feels to honor your multidimensional self and welcome the deeper connections that form when you express vulnerability.
