Daily Affirmations: June Edition!

Daily Affirmations: June Edition!

Welcome to a new daily affirmation track for June. Once again, keeping under 5 minutes, to start your day off. These affirmations are focused on creating the feeling of summertime!  If you haven’t listened to my first affirmation track, from February this year, it is worth a listen!

Recreating the feeling of being a little kid and getting ready to be done the school year. Feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin, or maybe a brief run through the sprinklers. It should evoke feelings of the sounds of summer, the lively board walk, or the ocean waves. I hope you enjoy!


Affirmation Track

 AFFIRMATIONS:

  • This season, I will summon the relaxed feeling that I used to get as a little kid getting ready for the school year to end.
  • Each morning I will renew my sense of forward looking energy.
  • My intention is to have a joyful summer season, enjoying the warmth, sunlight and evenings outside.
  • This month, I celebrate the natural cycles of our universe and appreciate the beauty of all things, as small as a firefly and as vast as the ocean.
  • I will delight in the little mother nature ‘ winks’ that come my way.
  • As I move through each day, I will focus on what I do know, and gather information about anything I am uncertain about or curious to learn.
  • Throughout each week, I will find moments of nourishment, moments to play, and moments to make progress on my goals.
  • This month, I commit to finding activities and spending time with people who make my soul sing.
  • Each day, I will do at least one favorite activity.
  • Before I go to sleep tonight, I will smile at the day I just lived, and get excited for the next day to come.
  • I will sit longer in the experiences which are peaceful, experiences which provide ease and a relaxed lightness.
  • As I move about the month, I will adjust my schedule and routine to meet the needs I personally have.

Harry Potter Sorting

Harry Potter Sorting

Yall love when I post quizzes.

Yesterday while walking with my neighbor, we passed someone wearing a Harry Potter shirt. It prompted a discussion on which house we’d be sorted in. I took this test long again, but let’s take it again… this time together 🙂

Which house are you? Here is a link to the quiz I took.


I got 45.4% Ravenclaw

I’ll go ahead and admit I still haven’t watched Harry Potter… so I went and looked up exactly what this meant for myself online. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comments down below.  Also, I can’t wait to see which house you are sorted into!! 


Intensely intelligent, Ravenclaws are also unique and think outside the box.

See your reality through rose colored glasses

See your reality through rose colored glasses

Alright folks, today is a bit unconventional. It is a lesson from the hypnotherapy sessions I took part in as a child. Purposely not including a story time today, if you’d like to learn more about the why, how and what of my experience with hypnotherapy; please dm me on instagram or comment below.


Do we live in the matrix?

Today will be a brief exercise to hopefully help lighten your load. You have probably heard the saying, “thoughts create things.” Meaning, the thoughts that go through our mind, which are all apart of our personality, shape themselves into a lens. That lens has no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, it simply is. Therefore, our actions stemming from what we *think* we see and our reactions based on what we *think* we perceive of a situation shape our lives.

For example, have you tried the virtual reality goggles? Or watched someone move about the living room wearing these goggles? This simple example explains it all! These VR glasses allow the wearer to perceive something no one else in the room can see. The individual moves about, reacting to the fake reality seen through the goggles.

This leads many to wonder if we live in the matrix, and if our reality is really ‘real’. I happen to believe that yes our reality is real. And I choose to live with rose colored glasses. I BELIEVE I get to CHOOSE my reality based on my conscious perception of events.


Where can I find rose colored glasses?

In a similar way, what you individually perceive, and what another right next to you perceives can be different. Yes, even when you are watching the exact same thing unfold. Our perception of reality is seen through our personal lens of life. That lens creates a filter from which our understanding of things is molded. Therefore, it is extremely important to select your own glasses to see your world through! This leads us to purposely putting on our rose-colored glasses.

The history of rose-colored glasses, for this interested.

Rose-colored glasses describe a disposition that is upbeat, hopeful, brimming with optimism and positive thinking. Someone who looks at things through rose-colored glasses looks on the bright side, sees the glass half full and looks for a silver lining in all things.

Hopefully, my blog helps you to see the world through rose-colored glasses. Or at least in the minutes it takes to read each post gives you a little rosy boost!


Challenge

Today, I challenge you to pick up your own rose-colored glasses, or at least borrow mine and CHOOSE to see the world around you differently. CHOOSE to see the flowers, feel the breeze and taste that yummy coffee. CHOOSE to feel better and stop and smell the roses.
