I wake up with a peaceful mind and a grateful heart.

This was the positive affirmation that resonated with me today.

I woke up feeling good, at ease and at peace with my many thoughts.

As I calmly sorted through those thoughts, I made a plan, made some lists, and told myself that I was going to have a great day.

I didn't do anything momentous, but every little positive action is a step forward in my journey of self growth, self healing, self acceptance.

I'm celebrating a day of waking with intent and focus. A day of feeling good despite exhaustion, crazy hormones, intense stressors and awkward situations.

I feel so grateful for the love in my life, the clarity and hope inside myself, and my decision to work hard on pursuing a better life.

Some days are really, really hard.

But not today.

Much love,
