What happens when we intentionally and consistently use affirmations? Big things start to shift! Affirmations help to deprogram harmful thought patterns. You know the ones. The ones that tell you you aren’t worthy, you aren’t enough, you don’t belong. It’s time for those thoughts to go! They aren’t yours.

When we practice using affirmations a shift in our emotions, habits, and thought patterns begin to happen, leading us to live in closer alignment to our true, compassionate selves.

You deserve to feel empowered, worthy, and authentic, and you don’t have to wait around for someone to give it to you! Empower yourself today by using these affirmations. As always, take what you need, leave the rest.

We are BIG fans of journaling! That’s because it’s is one of the greatest tools in therapy. Journaling helps us learn about our own thought patterns, gain self-awareness and has been found to enhance both mental and physical wellbeing. Daily journaling can allow us to strengthen our self-compassion and help us translate that more easily into our daily life. For the first part in our 5 part cultivating self-compassion series, we’re offering the exercise of daily journaling.

We created 5 writing prompts to help you exercise and cultivate self-compassion. All that you need is a pen and paper to get started.

Self-acceptance is the act or state of complete acceptance of oneself with the awareness and understanding of one’s own capabilities and limitations. Self-acceptance means embracing not only the “good” or positive parts of ourselves, but embracing the uglier, scarier, more vulnerable parts too.

Learning to truly accept ourselves helps us to develop an understanding that we are separate from our actions. Your mistakes are mistakes, but not a direct representation of who you are, and they absolutely do not define you. Self-acceptance is an important tool in creating an authentic life, strengthening our relationship with ourselves, and ultimately living a more fulfilling life.
