Everything is in Flow

An Affirmation

Everything is in flow, always.

And I’m along with it.

I want to stay open to change

and seek opportunities as they arise.

Trust, belonging and love are at the centre of my being,

and I can come back to my centre

and ground myself there,

whenever I need to.

I am capable of being happy

and of experiencing joy.

I open my eyes and my heart

to notice and go for those sun rays in life.

And as I open my hands in prayer,

I remind myself to love and to believe that

all possibilities of life lie within me.

Everything is in flow, always.

And I’m along with it.

When the days get shorter and darkness takes over, I notice how my mood struggles more than usual. A dreariness can wash over me, that tints my days blue.

This new affirmation lifts me up throughout my days. I learned it by heart and replay it in my mind whenever I need a little pick-me-up.

It emerged after answering a series of reflection questions that I put together at the start of the new year. If you’d also like to dive deeper into what is currently on your heart, you can find my set of self reflection questions here. Maybe they’ll lead you to your own affirmation that speaks to your heart and mind.

That's what a moment of compassion looks like for me. How do you practise curiosity and compassion towards yourself?
